Thanks man. I'm still kinda on the fence with the white on black I'm thinking of repainting them. It's so hard to get a good pic of the car now lol. I just washed the car today. A few hours later it was storming of course.

Just changed out the idler pulley bearing. 235k miles and I had noticed a sound like I had sand in the bearings. I only replaced the bearing. Cheap and easy fix instead of replacing the whole tensioner. If anyone is interested I used Nachi #6203-2NSE9. I was gonna do a DIY but it was super easy. YouTube has a couple of videos.

Just fixed my driver side blend door servo motor now by cleaning the contacts inside the unit and re-greasing the gears inside. Contacts were very dirty. No more clicking sound now but I need to do the passenger side servo motor soon.

So the other day I posted a picture of my serialnine arms but I forgot to post pictures of them installed I was impressed by how well they were built and how easy they went in now just time for an alignment

Old Exhaust with welded pipes onto it. Goodbye



Manzo exhaust.. yes, ebay I know. Lol sounds really clean and fitment was surprisingly good though

Camber's a bit much for my tastes but looks good nonetheless

Have you noticed any contact with the UCA and the strut tower since installing them? Also, how much did you adjust the arms (if any) in the picture?

They haven't hit anything the knuckle on the serialnine arms are drastically shorter than oem so no hitting and I've got them adjusted to max camber around -8°
