knee, front, and dash but no other airbags seems like a small front hit. The dash airbag is a pain to replace.

Finally got around to installing my Eibach front sway bar, I've been running the rear only for a year or more on my AWD.

First impression is that the steering feels more direct with improved turn-in. A lot less roll in the front and the car feels more neutral in turns. It definitely affected the ride quality, the car feels rougher over bumps and uneven pavement. I didn't put the car through the paces yet so only gathered this from a short test drive.
 
Installed reel carbon fiber side marker and stinger scrip in ceramic.

Put new rotors and pads on the front, done with messing with the stock stuff.

Bonnet lift activated and windscreen cracked so a bit more than a small front hit......expensive!

What i understood from the guys post, there will be the car graveyard for it.
 
Did my usual wash, hand dry, wipe down door jams/engine bay. Then clayed, cut polished and waxed the hatch prior to installing my rear spoiler :thumbup: Once that was all done I took my little buddy for a quick drive and some photos.9A891415-C2C4-4266-B540-30CB956C403D.webp01216DF3-4190-452A-8343-B25F57F64D48.webpA5C22048-BB40-49EE-B7F3-4BD6DBD22C7F.webp

Good luck with that. I dropped a socket when installing the rear sway. Never to be seen again even with an extended hunt with the car on a hoist.

Have you picked up any extraneous rattling noise from the rear?:whistle:

Looks good, just installing the claws now. How did you do the wiring to the lights? I am not sure how to attach the devils claw wiring to the existing light wires.

Yea I am really happy with them. I was a little nervous because in some of the online pics I saw didn't look as good as others but I realized it was because they took pictures up too close, like doing a selfie with the phone two inches from your face. They look amazing in person to me. It's just the perfect accent to an already great looking front end.

As far as the wiring I took it to a place. I wouldn't risk messing something like that up I don't know my way around cars enough to try it. There are some instructions online on K8stingerstore
 
I drove around 2km in 3 minutes according to the car! woo. (Then i arrived at work :D)
