During the first snow storm I had some problems getting into my driveway and slid backwards out of it straight. As the end result this happened.

So one morning after coming home from work, I started to remove the body kit and install all oem bumpers and fenders. Shitty cell phone pics..

with the front end done.

And with the sideskirts off and oem rear bumper on.

Just got sideskirts on the car last week, but havent taken any pics. They are modded EK Sedan skirts.

Plans right now are to remove the JRSC for a Skunk2 IM that im getting from my tuner. Also going to be doing head gasket, EM gasket, IM gasket, cam seal, ARP head studs. Also i need to find out what is leaking oil by my crank. Im not sure if its the crank seal or the oil pump leaking...
im probably going to install the injectors, fuel rail, and fpr that I got from you after i swap on the intake manifold. Also decided that im not going to use the seats I bought from you.
So now I got those seats and eg6 rear seats that im not using.

thanks, i like it more with out it. The mid wing im still undecided on. But im leaning towards removing it, if i find an awesome deal on a CF hatch.
To sell it and possibly restore the body before any more go fast parts. About to replace most of the gaskets, seals and belts.
Pat at JA Performance? I havent seen him in a while. He saw the car a couple weeks after i got it and it still had the body kit on it. Will be more decent once the body work is taken care of. Sucks but the front end was hit before and repaired cheaply and quickly. Didnt realize it until i put the oem parts fenders and front bumper. If i had the time and space I would swap everything over to a different shell.
