Playing catch up!! ***UPDATED PICS***
I'm finally getting off my butt and playing catch up with all of you. 
The box has had no mods to speak of since the wheels. As many of you know, for NOPI, I heated my springs, then put stock ones back in after the show. I've missed the look it had. Well I ordered the HKS SF5 springs last week (aprox. 2.2" drop) along with the injen short intake. They should be here next week 
So, as many also know, it's hard to sit around and wait 
so i debadged the box yesterday. Looks great but I need my springs!!!! I'll post pics once everything is done. Until then, the waiting is killing me.....

Ok, everything came in today, so I took the rest of the day off to get this stuff in and here is the final outcome.

Take your time. -- Trying to "keep up with the jones" or "out doing the jones" can be
very frustrating and very costly. It seems the more I do it, the less I want to drive it
on the streets infear of somebody damaging it. Sounds kind of dumb, but thats how I
feel. Been keyed already, nearly crashed into other times. But I do want a nice daily
driver, not a trailer queen. I do have a couple of others things I want to do, once
those have been done I will stop playing "catch up". I don't have the funds or the time
that others have.

I ordered from sportcompactonly. i hope a manufacturer comes out with 3" springs sometime soon
I've had the box for about 8 months and really need to get these things done. Not much more I want to do. But, that gauge cluster that Randy and Chris just finished is one bad a$$ mod. I might have to do this very soon!
I do need to get my seats redone (I took my headrests out) to get the plastic pieces out or covered. Maybe the rear wiper but I think we might need it when we get rain

the worst part of the wait is when it is supposed to be here and for some stupid reason it isnt. Back order, or when someone promises you a time limit and they dont come through and end up being a week later. LOL.
Glad to see your doing some more mods..
I will agree that the more you do the less you want to drive it. I love driving my car, but hate other people being on the same road. Noone seems to care about there cars that are around you.

A little bit of an update.
I ordered all this on the 14th. I called today and the CAI is to be shipped (to Phoenix for me to p/u) on the 22nd, and the springs on the 23rd. so I'm guessing I won't see these things till the 27th or 28th. That sucks bigmonkeyballs! oopps, did I say that out loud? Gotta love this hurry up and wait game.
