Well after a little over a week on vacation I come back home to find out that my ride still hasn't exited the service bay... womp womp womp
Apparently they have been massively backed up due to losing one of their techs so it's been a crawl getting things complete, and it still has another trip to make after parts install to get the tint and graphics put on.
I guess I'm more patient than I have ever given myself credit for but here's to hoping that it gets done by the end of this week or early next week...

Two issues have been ran into though at the moment (minor) the spring perch on the front suspension has to be ground down a little bit to clear the CV axle. The other is the the way the axle flip mounts won't allow the airbags to properly mount to the location needed. So hopefully an easy solution is found for that.
But boy do those new drilled/slotted rotors look ****-McGee

I know several people have been directed to your thread for the STX emblems, but Tasca now has the JL3Z-16720-A for a cool $18.36. Other than one post (not clip) and the slop of the letters, they are the same. I just ordered 2 of them to use for testing fitment on both sides. Sorry, don't mean to derail your thread, but searching these part #'s on Googles does have a first page link to this exact thread.
Hope you get the truck out of the shop soon!

Fingers crossed that today is the day the rear airbags get installed. They are hoping that the new mounting brackets arrive today which is really the one and only thing delaying the mechanical bits portion of the install before it heads down the road for tint/graphics application.
Currently waiting on an e-mail from the tuner company about the device they sent/swapped with me since the SCT-X4 wasn't compatible. Got to go in the shop yesterday to pull the stock file needed for the tuner & it doesn't contain a read file for the 2.7L within the device. I'm hoping it is just my own personal ignorance that is running into this issue, but it had from a 3.5L to a 6.2L to a 5.0L all the way to a 2002 Focus within the device.
On a positive note: The exhaust looks really nice!!
