As far as I'm getting today. One of my halos is dead.

Finished installing my Boss side exhaust today. Have yet to start it up. Also got my Steeda sports, Koni yellows, and Steeda strut mounts installed on the front. Going to tackle the rear tomorrow.

The rear should be easy compared to the front struts.

I'm hoping so. Front wasn't bad aside from getting the lower strut nut off. Once I figured it all out the second one went much faster.

Car is sitting much lower now. Like an idiot I forgot to put some wood under the tires so I could get my jack out. I somehow managed to get it out from under there.

Also got it started. The side exhaust is incredible. It's exactly what I wanted to bring the sound forward. My dad said the house started shaking when I started it up. Uploading a video now...

Here's a quick video of the exhaust in the dark. I'll try to get some better video later in the week.

Why am I not surprised that you didn't know how to use the wood, or didn't know how to jack it.

Nice, how the sound inside the car, windows rolled up? My solo exhaust had a bit too much drone inside for me, mostly around 1900rpm, it did sound good after 3k rpm though.

(not going there) I was in a hurry to start it up! I should know better because I had to put wood under my '02 just to fit the jack under there.

Installed the rear springs, shocks, and Steeda adjustable panhard bar today. It really needs a wash. Hopefully I can get that done tonight. Next to install is the GT500 spoiler and a few odds and ends.

Wax those new parts to keep them fresh if you can. They would be easier to clean down the road. Spay wax the Koni's with some Turtle wax Ice or something maybe I hate corrosion or grime. How does a person keep the parts looking new? The stance looks cool.

I'm not too worried about it. It's not something you see everyday.

Thanks! Really wasn't too bad. Mostly just learning how everything goes together on this car. I did my '02 probably three times, so I do have some experience. No spring compressor either.


All washed. I'll see if I'm up for tackling the spoiler tomorrow. She needs a good buffing too. I'll do that later this spring when I do the stripes.
