Re: Finally decided to cut my shock towers.
Cleaned up and painted engine compartment in satin black today, also started installing suspension and ordered export brace from MPG heads cause I wanted a quick release one so I could work on it at the track.

export brace
what I did today, no battery tray cause the battery is in the trunk
