I’m surprised they couldn’t get front camber closer to spec. It’s usually the rear that’s the iws
Nah, Im the same way, -2.2 on both fronts, and dialed the rear in from -2.8 to -1.9. My front is still -2.2 and its absolutely fine. In fact, because of the caster, much grippier during turns. My Yokohama Advan Sports from last year were worn almost completely evenly. 1mm difference between the inside and outside tread after 40k km. I would try to dial the rear in though. Car wasnt putting down 100% power to the ground because of the camber at full throttle (note this is at almost -3° though). Barely noticeable, but overtime costs you in gas and tires.
So I had the alignment done at another Firestone that supposedly had the specific lift needed for lowered cars. A mechanic from one of the Firestones directed me to this specific one to have it done and I guess it worked out. I still agree with Rochester though on the profiling.
I still don;t get this ....I think you were definitely profiled...any alignment shop that I've ever been "too low" for has just put a couple of pieces of wood in font of the ramps to get me up and we were good to go...
My super duper project to prepare for import alliance Alabama in July.
1) Action camera mount from pvc piping on headrest.
2) Custom vinyl wrap highlights
3) Airlift V2 install
Got a few more things to do and finish but that install was a beast. I'll never be doing it myself again that's for sure.
I think I like that Partridge Family wrap over the glove box. It works in a creative sort of way, and the colors are in keeping with your car. Pretty cool stuff, OP. But then you went and put the same wrap on the shifter trim, and that ruins the look. IMO, the shifter trim would look better in the same wrap as your center console.
Not to focus on the least expensive project, but that's what I'm thinking off the top of my head. Either way, damn impressive hobby, Saltman.

Was able to get this installed yesterday very fun install was able to get in without removing bumper which was nice. Might grab 2 filters and make it a dual but this shall do for now.
Hated the install. Rides nice. Still need to do some adjusting though.

I see your point. I had the shifter trim in the same wrap as console and was testing little highlighted areas. Didn't want to overdue it. I may swap it back and just leave the glove box. We'll see....

What CAI is this that you were able to install without removing the bumper?
Yeah, the Takeda can be installed just by removing the plastic cover thats over the radiator. There is no cutting involved. I've helped my buddy install his, and Ill say wear long sleeves and use work gloves or youll get scratched to hell.

I still cut the support beam, otherwise the rubber couplings were all crushed and distorted

Did you unbolt those plastic ducts from the OEM intake? Had 0 issues with the couplers crumpling once we took those off. Although thinking back, I guess it did become an oval shape instead of a circle shape.

Yes, I removed them. Seemed like there would be a restriction. IDK, it was easy enough to dremel off the support with a cutting wheel, then clean up with a grinding stone, file and sand paper.
Although saying that sounds more complicated than it was
The takeda attack but i will say it wasn't easy my hands are scraped up a bit but well worth it in my opinion.
Did you enlarge the inlets, or just shove the rubber elbows in there? And did you get the splash shield?
I've never removed my front bumper, but was under the impression that to do a solid job with the Takeda, it helps to remove the bumper. (And that with the Stillen Gen3, you have to remove it.) I've always though that someday I would transition from the R2C to the Takeda, but the whole bumper thing keeps walking me back from the project.
