easy fix. just needs a hardware store run for something similar:

RICE yellows went on + SPC camber bolts.

I will never do that again in a tiny garage.

Yep pretty much same here. The law in GA is no tint on the windshield except top 6 inches and 35% tint on side/rear glass in cars.

You can tint up to 0% on SUVs for back and rear glass.

This past weekend, in an attempt to find the infamous "clunk" that many suffer when they change out their sway bars, I took everything apart and re-installed. So far, so good. I found out that I had installed the front washers on the wrong side of the ball ends. Also, adjusting the endlinks with the suspension under weight makes a huge difference. We shall see how long it lasts.

Unpacked my lip and took a look at it. It had some ugly looking scuff marks on it, so I decided to paint it black and clear it.

Turned out pretty decent.
