Any repair done under an insurance claim should hold a lifetime warranty

Grille almost done

So I got some paint time today. I decided on a matte black, and you don't notice it, which is the point. Now I just have to get the grille flush with the hood to complete.

A Little Long

So it's been a little while since I've updated. I've since installed five new speakers, the front passenger door is getting replaced and I didn't want to install a new speaker for fear the body guys would mess it up and I'd have to do the work again. I've installed the stock fog light switch in the dash, but still waiting on some electrical components before I do the wiring. I've also installed a set of switchbacks for the turn signals up front as well as some smoked license plate covers to turn down the bright white of the Guam plates.

Picked up Big Red earlier this week from the body shop. The passenger side now looks good again, no more dented in front door and big ding and scratch on the rear. Today she got some love, a set of Eibach springs and a TTR rear bar. Can't wait to really test out her handling. Pics to come in a week or so once the springs get settled in.

P.S. I also hit 111,111 miles today. I didn't get a pic though

Pics

Here's some early pics. The front and back of the wheel wells at day one. I'll update with the same pics in a month to show if the springs really settle. I think her new stance is noticeable while sitting in the drivers seat, but that could just be me knowing she's lower. It is noticeable standing next to her though.

Big Red is dirty, I hate living on a dirt road.

Could you take the measurements on asphalt or cement, the grass doesn't give a constant base

Will do, at the tire shop getting tires and alignment now. The wife said she didn't want me at the shop all day again, so I'm paying to have it done.

Roses and jewelry will help her with that!
