^ good dude get that bitch back!
and i'm gonna mess around with the stock set of lights i have today, clean them up and maybe put them on the car so i can get started on the retro's as soon as they get here. i'm throwing around the idea of color matching the housings too!
edit: bryan why do you want to order those axles? when i was looking at getting them i was told not to because stockers can hold just fine, only reason i was looking was because i had a tear in the 1 boot but thanks to some RTV silicone i havent had an issue since

I get wheel hop now because of the clutch but I'm not sure if its because the clutch is still breaking in yet or not. That's why I wasn't going to order them right away. It was just advised and rather be safe then sorry lol. If the stickers can handle what I'm putting down then I'm not going to change them.

I was going to get axels first then the mounts. Thanks for the advice though man! I gotta figure out why I can't get my clutch to go into reverse. The ball keeps popping out of the bracket. I'm pretty sure it's cracked. It's causing shifting into 5th gear to not be as easy and smooth gliding like the other gears.

yea brian just get trans mounts, if you don't want to spend the $$ on rotated trans mounts then at least get the poly inserts for 50$, they work well, you would just have to get motor mounts then to be completed rid of wheel hop. i have trans mounts (poly inserts) and haven't had wheel hop until i put the coilovers on. motor mounts help too. its up to you, although those rotated trans mounts seem like a lot of $$

in the end it always goes up, plus it goes on your driving record, unless you have accident forgiveness like some of the insurance carriers have, but typically your premium will always go up after ANY accident, even deer accidents and such now are causing premiums to go up even though they are uncontrollable.

yo just throw Gloria@powellraceshop.com an email and tell her what model your car is and that you want a price on rotated trans mounts, probably the best price you'll get and he's the originator
and as long as you don't take any of my ideas toby
and ok so i just went through the official retrofit thread and grabbed some pics...
stick with chrome housings...
or go with this look...
or go with the full color match like this...

Your ideas? Pfft.
My plan is to get a giant sticker across the side of my car that says I'M SLOW in lime green
Then get fake BBS wheels, probably called BBZ or something.
Then get a torch, and heat my springs until my fenders scrape my rim while putting pieces of wood or carbboard between the wheel and axle, to act as a spacer of course.
and then probably just take out the rear shock and bend my axle ends so my wheels are then sideways at a 75 degree angle to the ground.
