Installed my driver seat Katzkin cover and all four head rest covers. It is so nice! This is quite possibly the best thing I have done to my car. The only way it couldve been better is if I would have gotten heated seats as well. The leather is soo soft and looks great! I'll post up pics tomorrow in my Katzkin thread. Now all I have left are door panels, front armrest, and hopefully Katzkin will take care of me when I comes to the bolster. I started Thursday and spent about 3-4 hours each day. I will probably have 15 hours into it when it is all said and done with. Well worth it though.

Changed my oil and tranny fluid.  Modified my auto tensioner/power steering pump bracket to clear my fuel rail.  Then, I installed my Skunk2 fuel rail and RC 750cc injectors.

Got my bumper repainted, no more splotches of touch up paint in certain sports! Also got the grille painted to color match, all for free too. :smile:

Took it through one of those touchless undercarriage washing car washes to get some of the salt and shit off. Would've done it myself but it's too fucking cold.

I went to install my rsb. I got the stripped end link replaced with the duralast one which is far superior in design by the way and stripped the other one. So, I bolted the 14mm back up and ordered another endlink. Luckily, they are only $12.99.

Lol wow, talk about bad luck.

I wonder if the Duralast endlinks provide any improvements as far as handling goes... i.e. transferring weight better than OEM. What does everyone else think?

I soaked the motherfuckers in pb blaster too! I don't really see any advantage other than the fastening design. There is a nut opposed to the oem hex end.

I have Duralast endlinks on my rear sway bar and plan on doing the front.  As far as performance, you probably won't get any more performance benefits since they are OEM replacements, but the maintenance benefits are definitely worth the time and expense to replace.

Hmm, oh well then. That's strange, because I never had any problems with the endlinks, and I didn't even use WD-40 or PB Blaster on them. I guess time takes its toll on the 03 and 04 cars. Since mine is an 05 the endlinks had less time to deteriorate or whatever.

Anyways, let us know Bill when you get it done, and your impressions.

So, what did you do?  Wash it?  Take pictures?  Put a HFP kit on?
