I actually have one sitting in my garage. Needs a resurface though. Opted for the 11 since that’s still lighter than the oem ap1. With the traffic we have around here I didn’t want something that was to much of a pain.

Ill also be swapping to an ap1 slave with a stainless line but figured I break the clutch in first.

Love the bumper and all the new parts. Interested to hear your review of the flywheel. I have come to the conclusion that a flywheel should be one of my next mods.

I think you should swap the OEM tail lights back in. Much cleaner and a better flow with the ASM bumper.

Enh. I like the depo lights still. If I get bored of them I will swap back. I want to see how they look with the new bumper. I would buy new OEM lights which is an expense I don't really want right now as there is still other things that I want for the car that said money could go towards.

Since I am babying the car around to break in the new clutch not much to report on the flywheel though initial feeling is it does seem much more responsive. I'll provide more thoughts after I put a few more miles on the new parts and can drive it a little harder.

You will notice the engine revs up and down a lot quicker between shifts. The rpms don't hang in the air between shifts. That means more driver connectivity on the foot controls with what the engine is doing.

Sheesh ok already. I have to roll someones fenders tomorrow and then I will probably work on getting it on the car. The bumper mounts differently from the OEM bumper so it is going to take some figuring out. I'll post pics since I haven't ever really seen it mentioned. I also have the Spoon diff mounts I need to put on and the car needs a wash pretty badly.
