Agreed with rear a little lower to match he fronts. Other than that looks good.

a semi truck backed into my car while I was at work and put a nice sized hole in my bumper with a bunch of cracks. I've been working on the bumper for a few days. Just need to finish sanding everything and get it painted. I decided after the accident to get a full kit, so the bumpers will be getting replaced.

Looks great!

I agree that the rear could sit a bit lower. I love that color!

two of the bolts for my RCA. A bolt on my driver side broke just a few days ago as well.

To those running RCA, I just recommend checking your hardware regularly. My failure happened after almost two, full seasons of driving and I daily this car March-October putting a good 20k miles on it each season.

Parts that have showed up;
Artisan Spirit fenders
Modified/Shortened front knuckles

Ordered/In transit/waiting to be installed;
Megan Racing rear lower control arms and toe-links
T-Demand front upper control arms and rear upper control arms
