Bags acquired. This weekends project, get the management done. I'll get the struts on later. I've found it much easier to get the management installed, tank mounted, lines ran and then power it up for a week. You make sure it all works and have the tank pressured to ensure no leaks, then slap the struts on in a day! Better than knocking it all out in a weekend. Coming from having done it twice by myself, I only use the shop for height sensor install and alignment.

More progress:
-Compressors, manifold, and power block mounted in the spare wheel spot
-Power / control pad wires ran, tapped 12v source
-All grounds and electrical connections complete
-Powers up and functions! Tank holds air and compressors run like they should
Need to:
-Get the tank resprayed again in USB (bubbling)
-Mount that in the trunk
-Put the back seat / trunk carpet back together after tank is mounted
-Struts mounted / front toe arms / rear upper toe arms / air lines ran for the struts
Productive weekend, I like picking at this bit by bit instead of working like a dog for an entire weekend. Could be done in a weekend if I had a lift and some friends, or a weekend by a professional shop but that's $$$$$$$$ and I've done this twice by myself already. Once with a single friend and another all by myself.

Yes, I removed the bumper. In theory, it's possible to do it without removing the bumper and just peeling the plastic underneath back but I found it MUCH easier to just take the bumper off and do it right. Plus I had to remove my HIDs from the old fogs and install the '12 headlights so mine was already off anyways

Here's the relisted version but they want like $356 and I only paid $272 (by some miracle). The price bounces around so wait for it to drop and message them asking for less
