      Looks great! Always loved Trent's car.

      And with the cluster and mileage when I averaged out the mileage on the car, motor, and trans it came out close enough so I didn't roll it back or forward or anything. I thought about matching the car miles but opted just to leave it.

      I also decided to send back the 6 puck from UUC and pick up their organic twin disk setup so that should be here within a week or so!

          Guten also has one that's about $500. That's actually not too bad considering the cost of the traditional 3 gauge cluster in the center with gauges and senders.

            link to it? can't seem to find it with the new guten layout. I know Podi has one too which is really nice but it comes out to 700 after adding the senders =/

              Alright guys so I got a little progress today, I got the racing dynamics rear apron on. Wasn't too bad of an install, took about 3 hours or so. Here's some pics!





              Shittiest part was when I was taking off the passenger rear wheel to align the last part of the apron one of my studs snapped in my hub -___- I spent an hour attempting to get it out, then drove home on 3.

              What's also weird is there's no way to get the big hex bolts that go up into the bumper bump stop back into place after you install the apron. The holes are completely blocked. Don't know if this is an issue as the bumper is definitely secure from the 2 side bolts and push pins but just thought I'd note that. Also I know the exhaust looks a little funny pushed so far back in. That will be addressed when the car gets to Castros.

                Looks good, but I'm so burnt out on people working on their cars in improper attire. Sandals and boardshorts? I'm guessing you didn't have anything protecting your eyes, unless you count a pair of hipster sunglasses.

                  Hahahah that's my uncle, He likes to check out what I'm doing from time to time and lend a hand. He was swimming with his kids all day. I was in proper attire, jeans and an old shirt with shoes on.

                          Oh I also sent back the UUC 6 puck and got their twin disk instead. Don't know if i said that yet, so that will be included in the build.

                                Thanks for the compliments bud, and yeah I've only seen one other early henna with plastics. Sounds like your on your way to having a clean car!
