Yeah, that's hard core. Makes swapping wheels really easy, I imagine.

Remember some years ago this guy named bandit? He had a high ceiling garage with a full lift, and he stacked his cars.

Can't wait to see the finished product. Love the wrap color choice.

Love the color, how long have you been wrapping the car?

I have a wide format printer and vinyl cutter. I'm thinking of giving my G a new color. That's whats great about wraps, for about $750 I can change the color all I want lol

Mine was front though, not rear. Still, unable to reproduce.
After your experience I'll most likely replace the sway bar bushings in the Spring. I mentioned the front end is still "clunky" and a month ago I developed the "eek" sound out of the passenger front - seems to get worse as it gets colder and recently when it was 50 degrees outside it went away.

Mine exhibited similar behavior, getting worse when it got colder. 45* was about the cutoff where it would mostly go away. Eventually though, temperature didn't matter and it was constant.

Oh my goodness, finally swapped my battery to an AGM battery... the way the car starts now seems so much more 'vibrant' and rapid. No more draining. Such a good feeling lol.

Sad to say, as much as i loved my samurai lip.. it actually just fell off. Took a couple months but so much snow piled on it that it's now fallen..
Should be getting another one soon tho it's a steal and looked great!! or maybe a real lip
Also, not a fan of the sticker at all, threw mine away.

Wrap looks pretty good!
Thank you! It's a Ranger quickjack, not terribly expensive and really useful.

Yep, makes our lives easier for wheels, wrapping cars, etc. We have a four post as well, but it's just for storage.

Thank you! I can't wait either! Still debating on blacking out the headlights or not.

The shop has been slammed so we have been working on it here and there for a couple months, but finally got to put some real time into it this past week. Thanks!

Is that just a rubber stick-on front lip w/ carbon fiber wrap? How did it look in person?

Dual vibrant resonators in place of OEM? How's the sound/drone? Would you recommend that over a true X by cutting right before the Y pipe and after resonators and installing a magnaflow resonated X pipe?

I have Tanabe mufflers with vibrant resonators also. There is no drone. Its not really crazy loud also, but it's nice.

How's the sound? And basically just had the 2 res cut out and 2 of the vibrant ones installed in their place?

I have a similar "axleback" that I had custom made with magnaflow 14851 mufflers. It sounds throaty and fantastic but there is a little drone. I hear it sounds very similar to the tanabe axleback, hence why I've been considering either a true dual resonated x-pipe setup (more $$$) or tossing in two vibrant resonators to reduce drone.
