From there the next round of mods was full suspension, here are a couple shots I got during the install, I didn't get any pics of the rear suspension install.

Here's the car right after install, it has settled more since then and is slightly lower.

Next up was a Boss rear diffuser and Boss shift knob.

I decided it was time for power mods so I did a JLT carbon fiber CAI, Bassani off-road x pipe, and a Lund tune. I don't have any install pics but here's the before and after dyno sheet. Stock numbers were 373rwhp, 365rwtq, after the mods the numbers are 409rwhp, 391rwtq.

Last but not least were some Forgestar F14s and I had the center part of my roof covered in gloss black 3M vinyl.

Looking good! Could not tell if the car was orange or red at first lol
Any track time yet?
The roof looks good too. Make sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner like Meg's gold wash-n-wax followed by ultimate quik wax on the vinyl. Otherwise swirl and spider line city.

Thanks for the advice man, I noticed using Chadwick's Triple Play put some fine scratches in the vinyl but sitting in the sun for a couple of days worked them out. I'll be sure to do what you recommended.

No tracks time yet.

Looks great! How do u feel about that shock/spring combo? Nice looking garage too!

The shock/spring combo is great, a little stiff but I expected that. The car handles amazingly well and looks great.

Awesome mods - impressive power. The springs are a tad low for my taste, but the car looks great. I see you have the $30 Snap-On light from Costco as well! That thing is great.
