I would almost be willing to drive the 2 hours for a cruise just to see some other G's. Nobody does that kind of stuff around here.

There's a DIY on this site for the bolt dress up part. Allenfasterners.com is the best, I got all the bolts and washers for my engine bay and undercarriage for around $30. I used rustoleum metallic paint for the washers; all in all took 30 minutes to switch every bolt not counting paint time.

It's held up fine, painted those in winter. The high temp stuff like engine enamel doesn't really work well with plastics in my experience, you will get alot of runs. The technical data for the high performance enamel rates dry heat threshold at 200F, don't expect my plastic to get that hot. Also, as far as rattle can paint, it is the best I have used as far as coverage and atomization at the tip; really consistent paint behavior each time I spray.

If you would like both i will negotiate a better deal! I got a pic of my car with the s techs in the front and stock z springs in back. nice rake if you not looking to go way low! No camber kits are needed with the s tech/ stock z spring combo!
