    I'm sure you all know how much I hate doing things just for looks, so this was a bit hard to spend money on...

    But it's gonna look sick! :laughing:
    My stock lights have some scratches in them, and light output sucks anyway. Plus I found a way to pull the lights without removing the bumper for our stupid yearly safety check. That was the biggest thing holding me back from getting HID retrofits.
    Big thanks to @kustom54lighting for getting this set out to me :cheers:

    Got my rear bumper back from the powdercoaters! One stop titanium in pearl city industrial park was very quick and did a great job. The Baja Designs S2 pro lights are crazy bright. The old rigids I had that were in the pelfreybilt standard bumper were bright, but not so bright that I could hardwire it to the reverse lights. These will need a kill switch so I don't piss anybody off or attract cops attention :laughing:

    Got the Doug Thorley short tube headers today! Free shipping from Amazon :D also got my bushwacker fender flares but I'm waiting on longer bolts and other hardware so I can gut them and actually bolt them to my fender.
    I also have a bunch of stainless tubing, U-J bends, merge collector, V band flanges, quiet resonator, and a magnaflow muffler inbound. Oh, and bungs...
    Full custom stainlesss steel exhaust :bananadead:
    IMG_2725.jpg
    So with my low belly, the stock cats were in the way of the top link and drive shaft. I thought the long tubes would give more clearance since it gets rid of the cats, but was still in the way. So I will just run straight down tubes, or if I can find some skinny cats soon, I'll order them. I do have the URD O2 sim just in case, so we'll see...

    Took all the preload out of my coilovers, and put a ratchet strap on the coils to get it to sit at full compression to make sure everything clears when we fit up the headers and exhaust.

    You've probably been asked this before, but were your PB hoops custom or was that an older design?
