4th gen, right. Good luck with the install. Should be straight forward. Are you doing it yourself?

For the most part yes. The only thing I'm not touching with a 10 foot pole is mounting the springs onto the struts. I'll have a mechanic mount them for me. From stories I've heard, I'm to chicken to do that myself. lol

I can't wait either! I just got an email with the confirmation & tracking for the struts and they should get here this Tuesday, so i will be installing next weekend. I might also get the windows tinted that weekend too. I donno about the tint tho cuz i just had to buy a new battery and my rear brakes need some replacing.

I have some teaser pics. I still haven't received the struts so.. No install yet. I'm also currently working on an interior project (red accent lighting on the doors, and carbon fiber trim). Tints will have to wait a few weeks tho. I would rather have a strut bar lol.
