Took pics of the UMI stuff that arrived Friday! Totally forgot to take pics over the weekend. Then I also took pictures of the water neck and the alternator. My dad's been doing all the work on the alternator and it looks pretty bad ass. Goes with the rest of the theme really well.

for the altenator it would look good if you painted that front peice all black.... that metal is impossible to clean up.
also for the lower control arms - go out and buy new hardened bolts (and lock nuts) for those if they didnt already come with them. You're going to want to just hack saw the stock bolts out especially since your car has been driven in the winter. I spent a full day trying to persuade mine out and a gave up. Easier to spend 30 seconds a peice with the sawzall.-Joel
