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

I honestly just bought clearance flat-black no-brand paint from Lowes to do the whole kit. I've gotten pretty damn good with a rattle can.

Here's the side skirts installed. I got rear ended when I went to pick up the side skirts + rear spats from a member and I see no point in putting the rear spats on until that's all fixed.

Wet just after a wash

Stupid Michigan insurance means I have to fight to get my bumper paid for. So who knows how long that'll take...

I've been wanting to put that kit on my car this summer. I hope you get your bumper paid for. I had a lady back into mine late last year. Luckily it was completely paid for by her insurance.

Also, I did a thing:

I LOVE the sound, and the increase in torque is nice.

Coilovers installed! only issue was trying to get the sway bar allen / nut off on the front left.. all in all, took about 3hrs. Might lower it a bit more, but I'll wait to see if it settles some.

Recently installed dual color led sidemarkers from fteightysix. White LED is hooked up to the parking lights, while the amber LEDs are hooked up to the turn signals.

Also installed some RokBlokz short version mudflaps. Was tired of finding rock chips on the edge of my fenders and lower corner/edge of the rocker panel

Started to work on the front bumper lip and rear spats this weekend.
Applied primer, black paint coat, and matte clear coat. Sandpaper in-between for the bumps and uneven parts.
Leaving them to dry for a couple of days before install.

Lots of time to kill while waiting for the coats to dry. Playing around with the spray paint.

Did you have to tap the blinker in the headlight for the side markers?

EDIT: Love the sticker by the license plate haha
