LOL..
glad they promise perfect fitment everytime.. even when it's someone else's product.

Idiots!

I found a LED lighting company that ripped a couple old pictures of my front end a while back as well. Sent them a message on ebay telling them they should at least offer me a free set of lights if they are going to use my pictures of my car. They never replied.

I have also notified people on ebay using other forum member's pics. It seems to be a common trend lol

I haven't updated this thread in a very long time. Perhaps I should bring it back from the dead.

My car has been in the garage under a cover since October. I refuse to expose it to ice and snow and salt and all that comes with a mid-western winter. I really miss driving it. I do start it and let it run for a while every couple weeks and I reposition it forward and backward in the garage as well to avoid flat spots on the tires.

Almost ready to get it out.. We're supposed to see 50's this weekend for high temps. I can at least back it out of the garage and give it a spring cleaning. Unfortunatly I think it's going to be another couple of weeks before I put the insurance back on it and drive it around town. We've had a horrible winter and I've never seen such terrible potholes in my life (and I've spend 35 years in Wisconsin, Ohio, Colorado and Michigan). It's absolutely awful. So i don't want to risk damaging a wheel or suspension arm, etc..

I have a few small projects to work on right away.

I bought a shift knob.
I already installed a Grimmspeed strut tower brace.
I have a J2 dual exhaust that I'm going to take to a shop to install (it fit horribly, so it needs a little professional persuasion)

Oh.. and I will be setting up an appointment at Subaru to check for the occassional uneven idle and to see if any new fuel pump tsb's are out.

I plan to take it to Carlisle, PA again early in May. I'm really looking forward to that event once again.

I'll try to update this thread a little more frequently this year.

So much for updating frequently.

I've got some mods planned..

I'll just leave a little teaser here: 6.1lbs and 3.2lbs
