it was the first front mount i ever did so it was a ***** to get the hoses jsut right, its a really tight fit by the fog lights...other then that cutting the bumper skin was the only hard part.

Im currently on the stock going with a p&p vf22, pe 650's, and a walbro. thats all coming this winter when the cars in storage. Once its out im going to install it and get a tune from godspeed.

I do notice a little lag but its not sigificant.

And yes the springs are also coming this winter!

ok thanx, the rims that I am getting are gun metallic, anyways, very nice set up, I like it a lot... I too have the Greddy front bumper its just waiting to be painted, but seeing your car look so good with it reassures me that mine will too....
