Hey what's up guys,
So i finally got to getting my stuff to paint. De-chroming was PITA
I was given an estimate of 3 days, which turned out to go over the weekend, so it was 7 days. I dropped it off on tuesday, when called on thursday they didn't do anything to it yet, so it was just sitting there. They finally painted it on friday and assembled on monday.
So I was pretty mad. As well as them doing a terrible install.
My side skirts were falling off and they didn't screw in 2 nuts on my lip. Also, they didn't paint my lower grille, so i can't even install it yet:(

Heres the good:

And the bad:

Until then,

I read somewhere that the lower grille was very difficult to get out, but honestly it was probably the easiest to get out

Hey what's up guys,
So a some things happened this week
I hit 48,000 miles

About a day after I needed to get smog for registration, which is a story.
I have my stock air box but there was a piece missing, so me and my intelligence put the stock box in, connected it to my unitronic inlet pipe at wrapped some electrical tape to it. And i didn't even bolt it down and i passed smog, even on stage 1
I don't have any pics(it was kinda a busy day)

And now onto the big news!!!
I finally installed my air
I have the V2 management with the performance. It's good so far, i just need to learn what settings i like and what dampening i want(I want to keep it as close to my bilsteins as possible)
I hid everything with my spare because i still need to use my trunk
The guys at Fender Defender Garage did a great job helping me tuck my wheels,
but i still need to get an alignment so i can have more cambers
So enough babbling here's some quick pics (proper pics coming in time)

Some new things are coming when black friday rolls around
My front breaks are starting to go, so I'm going to make the best with my stock calipers
Also, I'm looking to get a dog bone plug and my dp

Till then,
-Snake
