Yep. I've had them since about 2 weeks into ownership. I haven't got the bumper repainted because I'm planning on doing some bodywork in the future. May as well spray everything at once. :D
Roof is going black, then pearl the car. Along with some bodywork. :D

I'm still not sure on what wheels, though... I like the Five:AD S5:F's in the gunmetal and 20's, but I'm still looking at the chrome wheels I like... Then there's the Leon Hardiritts that I'll never be able to afford.
I have a buddy of mine hitting up Easy Street for the front air struts. Rest of the suspension I'll probably get from Universal Air. We'll see.

I need to go to Wendover or Vegas and see if I can hit it big. Or maybe get a worthwhile second job that schedules me more than one day a week. Stupid starbucks.

Front camber is effected because you have to remove the bolts that actually adjust the camber.
Install springs, wait a week, then get an alignment.
