RA-Eight, looks very nice. What do you use to clean it up?
Also, how's the JIC strut feel? Any other JIC products?
bryanl, nice spot for photos! haha

Gorgeous car success07!
bryanl, your first pics remind me of something from Sesame Street for "the Number 8".
I posted this on a local thread. Looks like I offloaded from the LCAC.

If you do that combo please post some pics, as I'd like to see these wheels and kit on another car.
Thanks, G-Rex!!

Second, To clean an engine bay, I leave the engine running, carefully spray the engine bay with some kind of water/ soap combo or pre-spray with a degreaser/ cleaner of some kind. Then I spray a shine protector such as #2001, Turtle Wax, Armor-All, whatever. Continue to let the engine run through this entire process and about 15-20 mins after. You do this because you don't want the water to settle in the engine bay and the heat will evaporate a majority of the water plus "bake" (if you will) the shine product onto all the rubber and plastic parts. After the 15-20 mins, turn the engine off and wipe down your chrome and/ or aluminum parts. Wah-La, detailed engine bay!
Fyi, I tend to detail the engine first and then do the rest of the car.
I can't say one way or another whether the 4 pt. made any kind of significant difference. I figured that it had to help better than stock plus it looks a heck of alot better, IMO. I also have the JIC rear strut bar. Nice piece as well but again, I really can't say there is a big difference in performance.

Just wondering if any of you guys with kits still have your oem rear bumper that you might be willing to part with. Mine kissed a mailbox 
I'll post pics after I get my wheels and a drop, oh and of course a new bumper.
