Why thank you Steve. I realized once the car was up in the air getting the tips put on that the mufflers were very close to the back on the bumper so it didn't give a lot of room to work with and they aren't as tucked under the bumper as I would like. So painting the part you could see works for me

on the list is aspec of course. Going base front and sides with s rear. Praying the 07-08 ASM is close enough to my SSM that it wont be a huge difference once its installed.

Got springs again simply because i dont have the cash to throw at coils and im tired of my 4x4 stance.

Wanted to get the axis power's but the black aspecs grow on me more and more so ill probably keep them on.

And the roof is getting painted black.

All that crap in no particular order

I have but thru talks with 2 companies that do it locally, 3m won't warranty anything applied to the roof. They said it would only look good for 2-3 years and then I'd run into the issue of it starting to peel up

That was my exact thinking for first looking into the vinyl. But with both running about the same cost locally for paint and vinyl I'll probably do the paint.

One small plastic clip that's almost in the middle. I just broke it off and used the 4 screws to mount it back on. Its not lose or anything
