Good work b. Does your grounding kit extend to the headlights as well? If not, I recommend it. Since I did mine, no dimming what so ever when I turn on the AC.

Looks good, but you need to get rid of the Fram fuel filter.

Did you look at G2's engine paint system instead of the caliper system? Here is a link.

THAMN strait that's scary............ If that's your radiator support holding up the front of the car............. eeeewwwwwww.. At least you have the stands off to the sides. I hope you don't bend that piece under there. Your hood might not close properly......

You should check the manual for the proper jacking points and stand placement.

Uhm I think it's better just putting the jack stands on the frame rails. alot safer if you ask me. that's where I place mine.
