    I'll vote for that.

    That reminds me @sfv41901, did you finally master the rear SKS job?
    That's not a can of worms that I feel like taking on myself. :)

    I got a ¥9,780 (~ $78) kit on buyee.jp. They're not too hard to find. Use this as your search term: バックドアスイッチ スマートキー化

    No joke. lol. I mean damn I've done some basic stuff; changed the oil, transmission fluid, added some bling like a new gear shift knob, had a really good quality, dark tint done ( a must here in south TX), the weathertech window diffusers, even put in some custom made front and rear seat covers on from Coverking; an all day project in the TX heat w/o any garage or carport. Had to take LOTS of breaks to avoid heat stroke!! lol But this is scary. I know, basically just a bunch of plastic fasteners holding things in place but all exposed and taken apart, looks pretty daunting. Hat's off to you.

    Finally got around to installing the H.Techs today. Found a local (and popular) shop that did the install plus alignment for $200, so I had to spring into action. Got a 1.5" drop all-around so far...curious if it'll settle at 2". Apologies for the bad pics with different scenery, lighting, angles, etc.

    Front tire before & after:

    Overall before & after:

    Currently have a set of Spec-D v2 red tails on backorder. I'll probably tackle a rear wiper delete when my hole plug comes in. I also just received a cheap roof spoiler from eBay today that I'll use to cover the rear sprayer... need to get it painted somewhere too.

    You should've taken the alignment as credit for future work. It's best to wait a bit for the springs to settle in before getting an alignment done.

    Yup, I wasn't too clear about that. I only got the springs installed so far. I'm going back to the shop in 2 weeks for the alignment. I meant to say the shop is charging $200 total for both visits. The springs should have about 500 miles driven by then.
