Let's get them on! How much longer until you're available? Have you found a die grinder yet? My step brother says he has a couple at the shop but he had to figure a few things out and I never got an answer. Have you tried looking where to rent one yet?
Thinking about TT brakes soon? It'll look nice and feel MUCH better

Its not stiff, so it bounces. It feels just like stock. But with an aftermarket suspension. I sometimes cant even tell that I am on aftermarket suspension. 
I was pretty much deciding on Air, before the April meet in '08. When I saw Marc's(golfkidd's) Q. I was sold on air. Then I found VSC and doing some research on it. It was either, UAS or AirRunner or etc... Then I found out, that it would have costed the same in the long run with UAS vs. AirRunner.
I went with AirRunner for the direct bolt on, and less hassle to install. I called Freddie @ AutoFashion. To my surprise, he had one being brought over to the states for the IS3. I received it in Aug.
It took almost a yr, before I decided to go with Xtreme Auto Salon(XAS) in Federal Way to do the install. JET did the install. I wanted it customized into the trunk spare tire well. I could have just thrown it on myself, with some help from Marc, but I didnt want that. Plus with it being pro installed. There is a Warranty for the install
So everything I do, will be through XAS. They are a TOP SECRET vendor and can get JDM parts JET also has an 02 or 03 IS3. He has some parts F.S. for the IS3. Like a WALD replica full fender flares(2 pairs) and a few other things.

^^^Thanks Fay...Im not sure whats next. I just know that I have lots of parts in the garage, that still needs time to get put on. The weather down here is crazy. It would be sunny one minute, then shower hard the next. Then it would be sunny with high winds. 
But I will post more pics. But it wont be on for the big, PNW cruise to Mt. St. Helens.
I hate this weather right now
Hahaha...I forgot your name, but thanks bro. Sucks that both cars got F-ked. Has Jeff got a new IS yet?
That kit is going to look sick. Better start saving for some 11" wide wheels!!
Welcome to the world of spending more on parts, than the cost of purchase for the car that you bought

Its been a long process, and still not done
hahaha...I notice that too. Even with the 02 cupholder, vs the 01 bracket BS. Which I lost the 01 bracket multiple times, before losing it completely.
I just drink cans, so the back cupholder works fine. And doesnt get in the way of my arm. Making it all sticky.
