Haha, just cut the strut towers where the control arms are hitting so that they can come up into the engine bay.
If you don't have stiff enough spring rates or extended top hats, it'll blow your struts waaay quicker, so keep that in mind!

Edit: Kielan beat me to it! Haha

Wooaaahh man just read through all of this. Gotta say its pretty damn crazy what you've done !!

The rear lower tie bar looks ridiculous with that camber!
Love it man, keep it up

[FittedDownLow]

yea my spring rates are well in lbs 850 in front 750 in back and i have extended top hats. I dont really want to cut into my engine bay cause im planning on shaving it and putting in a typer r this summer

well then you can't go lower or have a good ride, its cut or ride donk status gotta pay to play lol, you can raise the area cut oout and box it in to keep it appear stock if you want

A lot of people do this, and then paint the bay, and it looks OEM. I'd go this route if you want the lows.

Haha, thanks a lot! I love how the brace looks. That rear shot is the background on my phone!
I SHOULD have the car road bound this weekend, as long as it isn't raining or tornadoing anymore, so I'm pretty excited. I've had 2 damaged trim pieces come in so far, but I can still put it all together while I sort that out with UPS.

And yeah, just cap off the strut towers after you cut them. There's TONS of examples around. You'll be able to shut your hood!

[06tiburonofdoom]

No sway bar! I have a VX, so it didn't have any sway bars to start with. Now I just have a mean ass rear sway bar! Haha

SOOO...my car needs to be repainted...hook it up =]

[06tiburonofdoom]

It's baaack. And ALMOST ready for action.
Hopefully I'll have time to mount the new rear tires at work today, and it's looking like I may need a new main relay. Oh well!

[ChristopherJason]

Sexy EG man !

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks!
Ugh, FINALLY got home from work, where I did, indeed, have time to get my new tires on my rears. I expected it to take FOREVER (it is a 195 on a 10" wheel, after all), but I got the first one on the first try, and the second one on the second try. Haha
Now I'll try to muster up the energy to put them on the car...

[cardoza]

Do it do it do it!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Here's a couple of quick shots. Still just a bit of fine tuning and cleaning up to do, but it's pretty much done! It feels crazy to drive it again.

It looks so much different. I went back a couple of pages to make out the differences. It SO much more clean now. I have to say though that the chalkboard hood did give it a little style, it also looks like you de-tinted the side markers or something? It looks so much cleaner now though, good work bro.
