Only way to get a jack under my car now...

Home Depot 2x12 cut down to get the car high enough to get the jack under the chassis.

Dezod catback installed

Installed the Dezod catback exhaust yesterday. Drove about 70 miles getting used to the sound. Here are some pics.

Intec High Mount Brake Light

Deleted factory brake light and installed the Intec High Mount Brake Light.

Not too hard of a mod, came with factory harness and decent instructions. It took about an hour to install and delete the spaceship.

We may have to meet up sometime. I've been thinking of some of the mods you have (mostly the catback and brake/reverse lights). Great car!

I have everything for professional detailing in my garage and plenty room to work on up to 3 cars inside if we want to get together and then shoot some professional pictures at my house or in my neighborhood. I am at 1150' AGL and the views out here are more than nice. Roads are nice and twisty out to Driftwood, and I am only 20 mins from downtown.

Ripped off my front lip...

Hit a wooden dining seat cushion in the road on the way to work and completely ripped off the front lip. Impossible to avoid over a hill on a tight road. Any normal height car would have missed it by a mile. Also, on my third set of smoked GCS side marker lights. FT86speedfactory must think that I am crazy as that has been in my last three orders. Regardless, I love the way they look and work with the turn signals.

I ended up going back and recovering the lip. My son sanded, painted and clear coated it for me and then took it to his shop to re-attach. Looks perfect again. I am now really quick at soldering and shrink-wrapping the side markers as I have to replace them. Wife asked me if I still want the car so low....silly question.

I have added the rear spats as well and plan to get some more pics up soon.
