Glad to see the helper staying busy!

I like what you're doing, definitely different. Some of the things aren't quite my taste but I know what I've done to my sedan isn't everyone's taste as well. Heck of a lot of work on a car customized for you, BZ!

Not sure. I know it's a 1.5" drop all around with the tiens.

Also painted the headlight inards tonight. Letting them dry and will put everything back together tomorrow.

Another note... Those that were wondering about the stock engine cover fitting the M370 it doesn't easily fit. I'm sure you could make it work but it looks fine without it so I just left it off

Eibachs is milder than s-tech.

IIRC Eibachs > H-tech > S-tech > H&R ( lowest )

I don't know why but the car just isn't sitting right with me. I feel like your painted over did it with the paint. Some places should've been left black (mirror support, window trim, mesh in bumper etc). You should consider investing in the sport bumper and maybe painting the trunk. Wheels and a mild drop would also help heeps. Not bagging on your car, I do love the blue. Just needs some tweaking.

Aw-w-w, crapola. I would assume the 370 forums would be far more familiar with Motordyne's UIM than here. Perhaps there are more insights over there as to options. The engine bay really needs that cover for style. [edit] Been researching fitment a bit just now, and there are numerous entries on the 370 forums about it and ways to make it work.

AFAIK, tweaking has begun.

Twiggs, I suspect you're headlights are going to look much better, all things considered.

This is the fitment fix:

we fitted the engine cover by shaving the engine cover hole right above the "v6", the engine cover is still held on by 4 out of 5 studs which is more than enough, it doesn't rattle, move and/or won't fly off

I was talking to a guy the other night that has the 370 installed with no fitment issues. Cover and cusco all seem to fit together well. I'll try and check out his setup again before he starts showing.

Good find on the fitment fix John

I've got the manifold, OEM cover fits, just a bit tighter than before. No mod necessary, unless you want it to fit exactly like before.

Hope you ordered F&R camber arms and rear toe kit, you'll need them for sure w/ the S Techs, the drop is the same as my previous B&G springs and it's pretty low.

I'll definitely look into it. And yes the headlights look amazing. Just finished this morning and going to put them back together this afternoon when the chillins are takin a nap. And yes I plan on changing som of the stuff that's blue it will just take some time.
