So, I was told to post pics. I just got the car on the 19th of Jan 2012 so I didn't have any pictures yet.
I remembered I was supposed to post a pic on here so I stopped in the middle of the road and took one earlier haha :lol:

My SVT rear brakes are here waiting to go on. New centric rotors and hawk hps pads are on their way along with brake lines and the ebrake cable.
FRPP 1.5" kit should be here next week
Yellow Lamin-x for the fogs going on this weekend

So far I've just replaced the factory sub with a JL 8W1v2 and the factory amp with a JL JX250/1
Replaced the reverse lights and license plate lights with LEDs

Here is a before and after of the LED reverse lights.

Before:

Looks good!

I should do LED lights for mine too, those reverse lights are never bright enough. 8)

Just got home and found a few boxes on my porch. Thanks for getting everything here so fast Steve.

FRPP suspension
SVT brake line brackets
SVT brake lines (from frpp kit)
SVT ebrake cable

Also over the last few days I have gotten my new Hawk HPS pads and Centric rotors.

And of course it is crappy outside now. Looks like I will be waiting until the beginning of March at least to install everything. :(

Have fun with all the parts! Should look pretty spiffy after it's all said and done...

The squiggling out of your plates makes me think about why every does that...

There's only one person on here (maybe two) who could do something with the plates, but since the DVS thing that happened last year (she wasn't even cute really) they can't just run people whenever anymore.

So.... I was laying in bed thinking about how the weather was about to suck and wishing I could install the FRPP kit.

Crawled my ass out of bed and outside. Just got done with the install haha.

I'm going to give it a few days to settle before pics though. Right now the front is sitting a little high.
