Thanks, still got a few more parts coming, then a tune, then into suspension.

It would certainly not work in my driveway. People have asked why I don't lower the BudChev and that is why. I have to be careful backing out of my laneway cuz I'm likely to rub the chin skirt as it is. The key is getting the car to a 45 degree angle before crossing the curb part. It was even worse at my old house before I moved 2 years ago.

You must have a very level driveway - or you need one...

my body kit is about the same height and when backing into the garage i only have about 1/4-1/2" clearance, its very close!

You sic *****, man that new Treadstone Intercooler your have mounted up is like a huge WOW factor. WTH did you come up with that? And leave it up to you John to make her fit too!

Very flipping nice, so envious and a whole lot jealous here, so happy for you, You the MAN!!! You really need to let up a little now my man, your going to go broke and get a divorce... Jedi mind trick

WAY TO GO JOHN, it looks to be of the highest quality. Wish I had that set-up.

The driver mod is John and I are going to swap and drive each others Monte for our showdown race.
