way to go! What color is the paint, and are the ground effects black like i think you were talking about doing? It's really come a long way from when I saw it in person last year. Be sure to enjoy it before the winter hits.

Sounds like you might be able to get away with a k-member and the control arms. Its worth looking into I think. I got a k-member from Trans Am Creations...that plus my control arms, center link...various other things...plus 2 days work...I think I spent like
300 in parts...not including wheels and tires. I think its at least worth checking out rather than junking the car and starting over, especially since you got the new paint, plus all the other parts. Just my opinion.
