They originally said hopefully sometime in March, but it still is not available.

Any updates on the Next X-brace?

Very, very well done. I'm glad you went with a painted JDP grill. It breaks up the carbon from the hood and lip nicely.

This is a gorgeous car. I'll never (repeat: never) have the funds to spice up my SS GE like this, but it's certainly the direction I'm headed.

Given how much care you've put into this, how'd you choose the T1R short shifter? A shifter's definitely the next upgrade I'm looking at, but I'm having a hard time choosing which one...

Also, which of those mods would you say are the top few in terms of bang for buck?

Welli chose the t1r shifter because it was the only 1 of 2 I could choose at the time, I like the shifter a lot better, the stock one was way too long of a shift.

And as for the best bang for your buck, that really depends, if your going for looks, usually rims and a drop will give you the best look and most dramatic change, but that's just my opinion

I think this'll probably be my next buy (but maybe after tinting). If you were to do it again, would you stick with the T1R? Pun not intended.

Fair enough. Those are big bucks to bang, though. I was thinking the Progress rear sway bar would be a good next mod, but maybe it's worth saving for something along the lines of rims/lowering. Thanks for the thoughts.
