Did my upper body lifting split this morning. Bench, clean, incline dumbell press, pendlay rows, military press, curls.

*********** that required three flushes and some plunging.

Just called a girl to tell her we can't see each other anymore.

I have a date with another girl tonight.

Well towards the end it was just getting frustrating, but the end result was worth it...

Nah, installing it. Had to fab up new brackets and drill holes into the bumper as the stock install hardware is out of production and difficult to find intact (plastic).

Are you planning to change the wheels/tires to something more race-inspired, say, Fikse's or something?

The stance could stand to be a bit lower as well.

I'm sticking with the wheels, they are sporty enough and 14" tires are cheap.

As for stance, I am planning on going iwth a Bilstein/H&R combo that will drop it about 1.3", which will still make it driveable but still handle and look better.
