so... plans kinda changed.. instead of buying an existing home we decided to build.. the new construction home will be completed around December..

that being said.. i couldnt sit on the parts till then.. so i went tearing into the POD to get my box of parts, for my double dongs (ART pipes) and camber arms..

i'm still waiting on my buddy to secure some rack time to install them, i am uncertain when and if i would get to do the airride.

this weekend however in frigging 95 degree heat.. i got a bug up my butt and finally wrapped the roof..

Nicely done. The black roof helps tie the wheels into the color theme!

Cars looks great esp with that wrapped roof! And don't feel bad bc 85% of the time I wash my car it rains within 24hrs lol. And lastly my advice to you is NOT to install the air ride. Best thing you can do is just sell it to me instead! haha! Great progress man keep up the great work!

Just install the ART pipes yourself with 2 friends! It's only hard the first time considering you'll probably have to make 2-3 trips to the hardware store for tools.

Harbor Freight FTW!

True that on the install, should be easy for you Sean, and big congrats on your new house plans, it's been 13 years since we had our house built but it's awesome being able to have a say in the whole process.
G/L and hope it goes smooth.
Roof looks nice too BTW.

Maybe you can take a road trip out here, wash your car, then all around here can thank you for making it pour

I love Harbor Freight. Would've ended up paying hundreds for those tools elsewhere. And now we can easily swap the stock cats back on for smog inspection. #becausecalifornia.

And toxic, if you make it rain for Brad in New Mexico, come a little further to California and help us out too!

Also, after some spirited driving, I've decided to swap the front with double bellows in place of the sleeves. Car suffered from some dive under really hard braking into corners. Hoping the bellows will solve that?!

Hey twin!

How are you liking the art pipes? I'm waiting for mine to come in now along with my manifold.

I wanted to wrap my roof and now you have pushed me over the edge to do it as well!!
