So trueee!!
My hood is after market so the intake filter fits into the hood. Its pretty heavy, i haven't found pistons to hold them up yet.
When you do your center link and or a ball joint, could you leave some detailed info on how / tips to do it?

Would be much appreciated, also the name of some brands you went with for the center link and ball joint. I jsut want to replace the center link and not the pitman or idler arm, cuz i'm on a srs budget q.q
Good luck to you! the car is looking awesome!!

Will be installing the front rotors, pads and calipers today. Hope to get a few of the new suspension parts on the car this weekend as well. Nice to have three days off to work.
