I EVENTUALLY got my stuff from TM, it took me about 60 days to get it from the day i ordered it, seems to be with todd, the more you bug him the longer he makes you wait when he has them in stock. it also seems when he has them in stock he does a great job of shipping them quickly but when he doesn't

if u change your LCA the new updated part # for the LCA is for a 2001+ plus model and then you can use the bushings.

Went by the shop today and shot these. Pain is all done and they had just painted the black on the trunk. The tape was still there but it looked way sick. Everything looked really nice other than the inside

All the sewell parts to complete the car arrive tomorrow but I stopped by today to see progress. Rear bumper was and passenger side step plus the masking was off of the drunk so the black looked great. Here are some pics

Looking good. Looks like you going to have to upgrade the exhaust.

Here are the completed pics from the body shop. I just dropped the car off at my mechanics. I also purchased a full cat back Apex exhaust which is going to be installed along with all the other suspension parts and wheels.
