Installed them. Sorry no pics. Was easy, just had to unbolt the air scoop and move it a little so the rad arm bolton the drivers side could come out. Best to do with car on jacks and the wheels hanging with no weight on them I was told. That way when you line up the arm to put the bolt back in, if it doesnt line up do to a wheel or weight shift you can move the wheel easily to reposition the arm so the holes line up. Use a screw driver to pry out the oem bushings and then put the new ones in.Then the bolt go's back in and tighten it all up.

Time wise didnt check, but the oil change took longer!

Now as to any difference on the road? Not much, it does feel a bit more solid up front do to lack of play in the bushings and at freeway speeds the sterring response is a bit quicker, or the off center dead areas are lessoned a little so it feels better.I'll know more next month at auto x on a slower, tight course if it made a difference

Speaker trim ring

Been awhile and mods winding down Added polished speaker door trim rings for a little accent to the interior.Hardest mod to date..lol
Bought the gauge trim rings also but need to paint the gauge housing area black first.

Gauge Pack Trim and gauges painted black

I added the polished gauge pack trim rings and painted the gauges black.Painted them by hand which is a royal pain but more control vs spray painting. Not as smooth as spray though but really hard to tell.Turned out pretty good.
