looks good aaron, but you need to hook up that CME off EBAY! get those duals to go all the way out back! That engine bay looks 100 times cleaner than how i saw it the other night.

don't lower it and think you will have the same car! it will feel nimble in the corners, yeah. but you are going to suffer with down shift acclerating and traction issues! you think hooking the car right on now on the street is impossable, try lowering it without the adjustments of an after market tq arm or LCA relocation brackets! if you do go "low", get the supporting suspension mods as well... but then that will it all starts to add up. $$$.
i have personally worked on this car, and have never noticed the "4X4 look"! those pics do make it look like it's missing the 33's!!!
