What drop and spacers setup are you running? I am trying to get rid of my wheel gaps on stock wheels. Your car is at the perfect level that I want!

Bingo, I didn't know how to get the wires clean, and I realized I didn't really care if it was really clean or not yet.

Took me forever because I had to rip off the sound tube, broke 1 clip D:

Worked on my grille for the better part of the morning... finally looking like something. Can't wait to get it smoothed out and see it non-crappy.

I replaced my Bayson R STI replica aero kit with the OEM STI aero Kit. Fitment is spot on and much better than the Bayson R replica I purchased. The rear of the STI sideskirt doesn't come up as high as the replica and there's more of a downward slope of the skirt than the replicas.

So unless the actual CV joints are different... Not stronger where it matters.

Washed and waxed...first wax job I've given her since I've owned it. Felt good, even though it's supposed to rain all week. :l
