Finally got the air installed, still needs a little tweaking but pulled it out of storage for a couple quick pics last night. Still have a few little things to wrap up and waiting for the hood to be back from paint then it'll be ready for Wekfest on the 30th.

Sharp eye, the front tires are hitting the fenders at the point where they go flat or unrolled about 9 o'clock looking at the wheel. I'm gonna talk to the body guy about rolling 3 or 4 inches of the fender there. Should be able to get down another 1/2" to 3/4" if those spots are rolled, that would put the side skirt on the ground.

Working on dialing in the air system, think I've got it set up for very close to my old static ride height.
Installed a SRT race ecu I picked up a while back, the diameter on the K&N and SRT intakes look to be the same so I gave it a shot. Wanted to wait until the car was driveable so I could do a back to back comparison. The car definitely feels quicker and more responsive after the ecu install.
My hood won't be back from paint until Monday or Tuesday so another shot from the rear, this is my tentative ride height.

Still needs a little tweaking to get everything sitting just right and a good detail but I'm getting the trunk back together. Same layout as before just black.

Got things mostly together for the season openers and made the 800 mile round trip in the rain to Wekfest Chicago with no problems. Loving the black interior and getting great feedback on it, well worth the swap!
