Aaaaaaaand my long quest is almost over.
One more trip to the bodyshop to fix some paint issues, maybe clearbra the car, install the Spirit R plate and a couple more trips to IRP for some small issues and possibly redo my bushings and this baby is DONE. I won't be collecting more Spirit R parts for a long long time now...hopefully.

Glad you like them Andy..... your FD looks awesome with the red seats, they really pop with your paint color.

Dennis is going to be a jealous ****

P.S. My FD looked pretty sad sitting in the garage with no seats in it

Edited to add more eye candy

Love the seats, but I'd never fit in the car with them in there.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE you are still rocking that crappy head unit that I installed when I sold you the car I hated that thing, it came out of my brothers Jeep and now lives a life of luxury in your car, haha. I'll almost be sad when you finally get rid of it.

Car looks great, you've done it well sir. It's come a long way from sitting in some guys garage in California with blown oil control rings...
