Finally free time to finish projects!

My guest bedroom has been loaded with boxes of everything thrown everywhere and today I finally got a chance to get the car up on the lift to get some work done!

Schedule for today:

Install Springs and Alignment
Install Exhaust
Put new wheels on
Paint and hopefully install (not likely might be too late) my front lip

Hopefully everything goes quick, should have some pics up soon

Oh man! Sounds like a great day -- Good luck!

But don't rush the lip too soon after painting it... hmm.. or for that matter, dropping your car. Maybe it'd be best to hold off on that and get used to your car's new position in relation to the ground (and potholes, and steep inclines, ect.)

Post pictures before & after!!

Well it started raining so my plans got derailed a little bit. Put the exhaust on first, then swapped out the springs. Just got the car up on the machine to get it aligned. Too tired to swap the TPMS sensors so the wheels will have to wait until another day. Didnt even get to the paint, but soon enough, probably good because my girl is driving my car tomorrow and the chances of her hitting something with the lip are greater than the sun coming up tomorrow....

just got home to upload some pics and unpacked the wheels and they sent me the wrong tires. I ordered Hankook Ventus V12Evos and they sent the wheels with Falken FK-452s...

I got the v12s because of the customer reviews and no nothing about the FKs. I know the falkens are minimally more expensive, but do i even need to bother trying to get them exchanged?
