For which part? I had the body shop do it, that did all my hail damage. they dont care if you want aftermarket parts. yes I am tracking we had to dremel to add the release button. I need to drill out the holes for my rear carpet, but the holes are already marked from siebon. if its something else let me know.

BTW, I got that new bulb in and it works perfectly.

The only thing I'm worried about is that I feel like if I hit a bump the light can just fall out of the hole. Should I just trust that it will hold? Or...maybe try putting some kind of tape on there?

I haven't had any issue with the light falling out and I've already gone over a few big bumps, so maybe I'm just being paranoid.

It won't fall out. Mine is the same way. It's not threaded like a screw so that's why it isn't tight. You'll be fine.

It's your rear shocks job to take the bump.

I never had it fall out. I have had plenty of opportunities for it to fall and and its locked in there good. Its not gonna fallout, if it was prone there would be a billion angry threads claiming that their setup doesn't work (people love to complain).

You decide on which kit you're going with?

I saw a FB post that a vendor besides FTEightySix is doing a Kraftwerks Supercharger groupbuy again at $3500. The one for FTEightySix ended and wasn't extended.

Right now, I'm thinking kraftwerks. I'm going to wait for the HKS kit to get some more info out there, though as I do like HKS. Not looking to make any move for the next couple of months. Going to go make some risky investments on the money I've earned to see if I Can make a little more in the mean time

So looking for some insight gents, I have the green light to start ordering stuff.

I want to be responsible and do it somewhat in steps. Debating between suspension stuff first (looking at tarmac 2's, v3's or tein mono sport), wheels and tires (17x9 rpf1's +35) or getting a stg2 tune from delicious to begin with. The smart person in me says I should do wheels and tires first... but better powerband would be wonderful. Kinda curious what route you guys went just to kinda hear some opinions.

Things I typically bring:
Tools to change tires, or anything else that might break.
Sunblock
Food/water
Umbrella
Chairs
Water sprayer
Painters tape

If its your first time, don't worry too much. There are always several people that its going to be their first time as well.

Good to know other folks will be out there! See y'all at the end of the month.

I am going suspension first, but in my plan I am incorporating wheels/tires to my suspension work.

Buying what I want in pieces isn't so bad, it is just the anticipation of waiting even longer to get everything ready to put on the car.

Wheels\suspension are very important. I'd start there. Bolt ons and tune is nice, but wheels\suspension you'll notice more.

What are you goals so I can give you advice on suspension? I love my V3's and spending the cash at that level is HIGHLY worth it compared to the more budget coilovers. I love the way my car rides on the V3's, but may be soft for some hardcore track junkies. The key is just dialing it all in.
