Awesome! I love the digital dash, I've dubbed it "retro-futuristic".

Oxymoron, yes.

Fantastic, yes.

door jams are pretty easy to do, and dont open the engine unless you are working on the car i dont get why everyone freaks out so much about mismatched engine bays

Let me know how bad is was to do the RR's springs and seals and how much it will cost for you to help me do mine? Also what parts did you go with?
Yeah I am not going to be able to make it either didnt have a chance to get my tires put on so I am going to wait till next week. By then I will have my exhaust fixed and my Chip and AFPR and maybe Underdrive pulleys on.

thanks
Jason
