They are not the prettiest but they do the job, the 5th Dzus tab that I removed from the ones on the fenders I re-used and made a bracket for the front so that way I still have adjustment on them. Hope that helps out some

I just dig the shifter plate that uses the factory console..

Car looks bad *** man. I just got my first turbo today and got an l33 sitting in the corner. Looks like I got a winter project on my hands too.

Yea thanks for the shifter plate, it turned out freaking awesome, now just waiting to start putting stuff back together. Sounds like you have a fun project also. Yea I am pretty sure she will do better but no matter what she runs it will be alot of fun.

Painted the hood tonight, not the best paint job but kept it flat black to match rest of the car. I also promised the Ol' lady I would put pink somewhere on the car for her since she is allowing me to build it so I put the name of the car in pink and I think it turned out really good.
