Thanks everyone. Almost makes all the money I don't have worth it 
@ joeybabyluvsu, forgot how much I paid for the Eibachs but I can't imagine they'd run more than $200 new. I've a ton in the Black Market for $100+. I paid $150 for the springs and my RSB install. Not too bad
Then you gotta get an alignment afterwards (~$70). The Eibachs only give a 1" drop so no, no issues whatsoever.
@ tihomirbg
Yeah finally had some time to get it painted. Looks good! Also repainted my front bumper... got rid of all those rock chips and a dent. I think I'm gonna repaint my hood and fenders, then clear bra. The shop I went to has some pretty good prices. I'm gonna post his contact info in the main 3G forum soon. You should get that expensive RJ kit protected!

Its 99% done now! I just need new amber signal bulbs. The 7443 chrome amber ones I got are too dim... thinking about switchbacks.
Anyway, gave up on the 07-08 side mirrors so since last time, I've installed the J-Shift test pipe and J pipe, OEM door visors and cleared/blacked out headlights with ZKW replica lenses and Phillips 85122+ D2S bulbs.
Here are some pictures!
I think it looks good

It would look horrid at close up shot 
Move the car back 25+ feet to get proper idea of what they look like.
Here are some long distance shots of the replica lens , pictures are borrowed from a fellow member at HIDplanet.com

2. Ground clearance... thinking of dropping my car on Teins next summer so I don't want to scrape the j-pipe all the time.
3. Price. ATLP J-pipe is $399 and test pipe is $125. I think RV6 is doing a GB on another forum on both of his products... I know for a fact that they it was for less than $400 but I can't give you the exact number.
4. ATLP's test pipe is just a straight pipe for $125! J-Shift's is resonated and its about half that price.
5. If it matters, the J-Shift one is polished...
After the install and after my ECU settled, the car is definitely more torque-y. It pulls a bit harder in the low end and def minimizes the "acceleration" lag. I haven't really done any WOT runs yet. Overall, I'm happy with this. Don't have any actual experience with the ATLP products thought... all the above information is just from other AZ members or "research".
