I checked my email that's linked to my PayPal, but nothing yet.

To those who have not gotten the invoice yet, Excelerate said he would ship them out in roughly the order of payment received, so please be patient!

^^ Yep, I have my invoice too! Mine won't be here until next Monday though. I'm going to be in NYC and Baltimore during the next two weeks, so I probably won't install it for awhile. It's all good, cuz I'll be vacationing!

So i installed mine today with mephisrheins.
We needed to jack up the car and remove my nuespeed strut bar.
Then remove the third nut that is part of the strut suspension.
We then removed the two bolts on each side to loosen the stock strut bar that we need to do, slide the bracket under the stock strut bar.
We had to drop the whole suspension even maybe take off the wheel to help us but in our case we drop the strut completely out of the holes to slide the bracket.
Then line up the bracket and put back the strut on. (we lowered the car so it would fit back in the holes nicely.)
Then tighten all the bolts back put on nuespeed bar back on.
Next engine bracket we just remove the two bolts using a breaker bar.
The rest was simple enough although i have 2 nuts left over and one bolt??????????????????????????????

Thank you to all and you're welcome. I busted my behind to get all those packages out on Monday.

Alright - to anyone who has already received VIA UPS...
Did you need to sign for the package? Or did they leave it, I might not be home when it comes and I need to know whether or not to tell my neighbor to sign for it.

Alright, I've installed mine and I have a few helpful hints from the instructions, but first, my opinions.
I FREAKIN love it. Remember, I have the Fidanza lightweight flywheel and ACT 6 puck clutch. This thing makes the wheels hook up so much better and really smooths out the motor engaging. I didn't even know that what I was feeling was the motor until it disappeared with this. This is a must have if you've done mild to significant mods increasing HP and torque. Let's sum it this way, the motor is much smoother in transition from load to unload.
Okay, now to the hints. I would've like a few more pics on the instructions, but they were sufficient. To get the chasis plate under the strut bar, requires you to physically push down on the wheel after you've taken all of the bolts of the top of the shock mount. Once off, I used my foot to push the wheel down (mind you, it is on jack stands... a must) while at the same time, I used a pry bar DELICATELY to push up on the strut bar on the backside of the bar.
Next hint, use a box end wrench to hold the bolt for mounting the stiffy to the chassis plate. Just drop the nut into the boxed end (I think it is a 15mm wrench) and that way you can be careful around your ABS unit. You won't get your fingers in there nicely. Come in from 90 perpendicular to the stiffy on the left of it. There is a perfect space.
Finaly hint, don't tightly secure the stiffy to the chassis plate until you've lengthened the end to match up with the engine mount plate. You probably will have to lengthen the stiffy end by loosening the nut on it (on the end that mounts to the engine side) to reach the bolt hole of the plate. By not tightening it down, you can move the stiffy over to undo the bolt and lengthen the end with enough room.
I didn't take pictures because I'm sure plenty of you will. Love this mod and it adds some bling to the engine bay while being completely functional. It has tamed the beast. Oh, last comment... I haven't gotten any vibration in the passenger compartment yet. Of course, I'm on the default setting for the stiffy too. I don't have a 27mm wrench, only a single 1" and that won't do me any good unless I have another wrench to move the adjustment nut.
EDIT:
I had 1 additional bolt, washer and rubber washer (the same one you'd use to mount the stiffy to the engine side). Did everyone else?

Oh, thats a good question.
Your torque converter would take up most of the engine torque that the manual guys have to deal with themselves, so - I would say no IMO.
