I'm still waiting on my hood and spoiler. They got painted but needed some more flattening agent in the clear.

So I had a brilliant idea for a body mod this morning... I'll do some research on the feasibility and I might pull it off in the next month or two. I'll have to buy and modify a few parts. It will be subtle and tasteful.

As for the hood and spoiler my 7 y/o boy pointed out to me I might get those by 2016... little smart ass. lol

Supposedly next week... I believe it when I see it.

Dawned on me today that I got differential bushings instead of cradle bushings. I'll need to order those and get them too. So in the end I'll have cradle bushings, differential bushings, radius bushings, and the Pedders 32mm rear bar. All in black. I might pick up some upper trailering arm bushes too.

That will be it for my Permagrin + the Black edition package.

I need to do the belly pan I got plans for from another member.

Then I'll also do the Phadt Featherlight Coil Overs.

Also I'm on the fence about some ACS T3 ports and a mail slot conversion.

That will be it aside from some stereo mods until I get to the heads and cam hopefully by the end of the year. I'm also monitoring what is happening with the dual plenum manifolds in development.

The guys at Phastek have taken good care of me. They have the last needed bushings due to arrive tomorrow so that means I can get the tires and bushings done Thursday.

So life gets complicated as hell still haven't gotten the Hood and Spoiler... I don't want to talk about it. The tires had to get put off until this coming week and the bushings are still here along with a bunch of caster and camber bolts just in case.

I need to take pics and post them up...

Okay "supposedly" the hood and spoiler get here today... so I rearranged my mod schedule for the next few days.

Saturday = Hood and Spoiler (I hope) probably UDP installation.

Sunday = beginning of "Permagrin Plus the Black Edition" installation.

Monday = completion of installation of bushings.

Tuesday = Pilot Super Sports and 4 wheel alignment.

Belated pics as promised...

Well I can't lie... I'm disappointed to say the least. The hood finish looks less than stellar. The spoiler doesn't look good either. I have plans to take it to the dealer body shop and get it done right. I'm on the fence if I should go Gloss, Satin, or do the Smoke Gray that the factory 2013 spoiler is.

Now for the carnage...

I will say this is the perfect hood/spoiler combo for this car. I just wish it had gotten painted better.

So I got so pissed off when I put the hood on last night and when I looked it over this morning that I am done. I won't be able to do the frustrating suspension work without losing my cool.

I'll get the tires next week and get the hood and spoiler repainted. The suspension parts will get thrown on at a later date.

I need to get over the frustration of this fiasco...
