No one can get anything period and I can't get an ETA.



We're very unhappy, too. And it's insane quite frankly...I can't buy Bilsteins for a family member's BMW, for my own BRZ, for a MINI...nothing is available. This has got to be doing major damage...we're a small player but the big guys are having the same issue and I'm sure they're even more pissed. Check tirerack's site for stock levels on Bilsteins HD, Sport, and coilovers for any modern car.

Anyway, yeah I'm upset. I wish we knew it would be like this 1.5 years ago. I apologize for being too optimistic about the timeline of this project.

Received my carbon fiber license plates. It's just painted on, but it was different enough for me that I decided to go with it. Sometimes it is hard to see the lettering at various angles due to the pattern.

And yes... my car is in need of a serious wash. We have the dust storm from Africa right now and then it rains on either your side of the street or not. Crazy weather.
