i received A seat today :/ lol should get the other one tommorow, i have received my harnesses, i have installed an oil pressure gauge, and an air fuel gauge into my HVAC holes and moved my HVAC controls to under my steering column, out of site, and still accessable while driving. i should have the seats installed asap. i have received my ground control coilovers and koni struts. i should have those installed tommorow for the fronts, i will recieve the 99-00 mounts i require to install the rears asap. i will be ordering my carbon fiber gauge bezel, and carbon fiber door panels tommorow, i am addicted to the beautiful work from a company called www.topshop.com. if u love carbon fiber, and u want anything wrapped or even current items they produce then check them out. Also, with my A/F gauge installed and having something to finally watch while driving, i have given it a much more moderate tuning this weekend, WOT feels fantastic for the 2.5 but what im very happy about is my high gear, lower rpm throttle response, it feels so smooth in 4th and 5th. i also hope to have new pictures soon to show my new look.

update june 22, 2008:

w ell this week i will be putting my new front strut mounts and upgraded mcmaster strut bearings in. should be nice after a good year and a half of michigan beatings. about a month ago i cut my catback in half and made it a side exit with a bend and an oval shaped magnaflow tip. sounds absolutely fabulous.
