So at about 12:20 this morning I finished installing the new studs and I'm wayyy stoked! I feel like I just accomplished the most amazing thing ever :lol: Anyways, here's pics. The Foz will hopefully be completely detailed by Wednesday and back on the Volks and with that I'd be able to drive it once again ah yes!

The best part? It cost me $15, about 3 hours of my time, and a sprained hand
So glad I did it myself though :lol:

A friend of mine made these for me and I put them on right before leaving to the Idaho Rally. They look great in my opinion and add to the overall look of the car. I'll take more pics once I get home on Sunday!

Air Flow Sensor replaced yesterday, huge increase in performance :biggrin:
I couldn't / didn't feel like trying anymore to get the clear coat off my CF hood scoop so I sanded it and painted it black. I think it goes nice with my car.
