Great price on that TOM's Full kit! I was looking at it but didn't pull the trigger, I don't have space for a 2nd kit.

You are so right, this kit is huge sitting in my living room. I have to hop over the dam thing just to leave my place every morning.
The Lip kit was so much easier to deal with.... i may have a problem

Sorry to thread jack... But I found out the hard way the TOM's strut bar doesn't fit over the TOM's Engine cover with SC ... From my IG

Is the supercharger already installed? That honestly doesn't look any taller than the OE intake manifold with the engine cover installed.

If you decide to part ways with that tom's strut tower bar, I'm happy to take that off your hands.

On the Tom's Japan website it says somewhere it won't fit with the cover

Yes, the Supercharger is installed. The tom's bar is not for sale right now.

Ah, I'd never seen the Tom's supercharger and didn't know how it fits to the block. looks like it replaced the intake manifold which is why the height is able to be kept so low. Was imagining a universal supercharger where it sits on top.

I want one now...
