Damn, looks like everyone's been busy, I feel like I'm falling behind... lol. Lots of great mods going recently. I've been saving $$ for winter tires, & prepping a set of stock steelies & covers for 'em. @Ziggy: Luvin' the gold wheels, looks sharp! @Strange: that stance is great man, keep up the good work. @Nocturnal: can't wait to see the B with the new eyelids bro, bet it looks killer ;-)

okay so i relocated my battery and installed a kills witch and a bypass for the kills witch because only a dumb@ss would drive a car daily and have it out on the road with an active killswitch that someone could just shutoff...lol
i got a new taylor vertex aluminum battery box from craigslist for 20 bones, all the hardware and terminals were there...it just didn't have a bottom.
so i made one out of some sheet steel i had sitting around.
ran the 2 guage wire i got from 2006xbbop (dj). the terminals and hardware i got from toxshox (landon), and the goodies from optional (tyler)
more fun, routing the wiring to the killswitch and figuring out a way to bypass it so when im not doing autocross people just cant shut it off. but when i do autox i can just switch leads and its fully functional again..lol radness.
finished product...i excite! and thanks to landon, dj, and tyler for being majorly awesome and kinda donating or um unloading crap they weren't gonna use on me for this project.

Sanded back lip of Kami kit,painted it flat black,got 3m ready to go.....should be mounted at least one piece by tomorrow afternoon.....still gotta finish sanding the sideskirts,then flat paint on them and then finish fitting front lip.....
Whole kit fits nearly perfect already but I am trying to get a bit more out of it....gonna run it for a few days and take some photos and then take back off for winter and in the spring get it painted and then reinstall once the airbags are in.

The cones seem to me like they would take a while to follow....I watch Ty's video in his xA and it seemed hard to do.
