You'll never please everyone. I'm sure some people will dislike this but at the end of the day, it's my money, not theirs so it won't really matter.
I'll get the information and let you guys know - they were through a friend of a friend so I'll have to try and get the direct contact information.
With that said... more updates!
I took some pictures of the Baer Brakes 6P brake calipers and rotors when I got to work earlier, pretty stoked with how they turned out. I sent Baer one of my headrests and had them match the calipers almost exactly to the orange/red Recaro fabric and finished them with white logos.
At lunch, I took a trip to the body shop to check on the progress hoping that I'd be able to pick it up today but that didn't happen. I did manage to get a shot of where it sat as of a few hours ago and was promised it would be done tomorrow.
I was also able to do a quick mock up of the LED fog lights and as expected, they bolted up and fit perfect... don't mind the cover, it's just sitting over the top.

It's not really an off the shelf kit but it includes their 6P six-piston caliper, two piece drilled and slotted rotor and some other hardware. I'm having mounting brackets made as well as lines but other than that, mostly everything is included. This obviously isn't the kit but here's a link to their Scion FR-S kit so you can get a general idea:

I finally picked the car up from the body shop - it's about 95% done, just waiting on my lip kit and rear spoiler to be sprayed and then installed. Here's a picture right before it left the shop when they were cleaning it and waxing it.
Also, finally got around to getting some pictures of the some of the new parts, below is the Eibach anti-roll kit which includes the front and rear sway bar:
Here is most of the Air Lift air suspension, missing a few things because it's pretty obvious what they look like.
Here's a close up of the front air bag detail:
... the front camber plate adjustment:
... rear adjustment:
... manifold and ride height controller:
... and lastly, the harness, lines and miscellaneous fittings:

My painter's done well over fifty cars for us, including referrals so he takes care of us at a great deal but for a good color change (door jams, engine bay, etc.), you can expect to be in the $3,000/3,500 and up range for an average size car. Just like anything else you can get it done for cheaper but you get what you pay for so paint is one aspect I prefer not to be stingy.
Personally, I've had five cars painted now and the most I've spent was about $5,500... but that was with a ton of body work and all that.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I haven't really had time to work on the car since I got it back although I did get some more parts in.
Sony audio components - subwoofers, amplifiers and component speakers:
I also received my headlights back from LightWurkz and I think they came out awesome. They weren't able to use the Fusion headlights that I had but they were able to retrofit a new projector and shroud into the headlights and refinish them all black for me. I love how they came out.
Lastly, a Scosche magicMount for my COBB Tuning Acc

I think all of us make the case that it was a stupid move not to offer the car here with projectors as a factory option. That was the biggest thing that bugged me when I bought the car. Hardly anyone buys a FiST without researching it so most of us know they're out there... so it's not like they didn't have the tooling, molds etc already built and ready to go for LHD.
The black housings look great, too bad he couldn't get the dual projector though, that would've been insane

I'd be very interested to learn the source of the LED foglights, please. ![[thumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumb.gif "Thumbs Up [thumb]")
Yes, indeed.

Totally agree - the projectors change the entire look of the car, I really wish it was some sort of factory option.
I'll get these wired up soon and get some more pictures but yeah, the dual would have been great.

Air installation and audio are coming soon - I'm trying to get everything (including a 28" tank for the air) to fit underneath the rear cover where the spare tire goes so I can still use that room for storage. I did some mock ups over the weekend before the audio came in and it looks like it's doable... but yes, pictures of that to follow.
