For however long it takes between Friday afternoon and whenever my mechanic is available. Dropped the wife's car off there just a few hours ago, and he's seriously booked up. So IDK really. I'm hoping for any day next week.
Any day at all.
Most of the time, he prefers to keep the car all day, to fit work in on his time. But I'd really like to be there for this install. We'll see what happens. While there, I'm planning on showing him the bushings I customized for the rear springs, and the Vert Cradle Braces... intended for a follow-up install on those parts, and to re-check the fitment on the catback after it settles in.
Meanwhile, it's getting warmer out, so the VOSSENS go back on the car this weekend. And I can get that roofwing installed soon sometime in the next few weeks. Along with popping off the fog trim rings and replacing them with the ones I bought new and had painted this winter. And I'd like to clay & wax the car overall... that's a given. And get the leather interior treated properly with Leatherique.
So much fun stuff!
I just need to be patient, is all.

Haha, no. I refuse to believe that, dammit.
Since my RHFC mod was more about grunt than noise, all you guys who have aftermarket catbacks know exactly what I'm going through right now. At any moment throughout the day, I find myself daydreaming about how much better the car is going to sound. And I'm hardly a noob to exhaust mods, which makes waiting all the worse.
Almost, but my mechanic was so booked up yesterday that I didn't push for an appointment. I learned my lesson with the Swift Springs, not to make any hard schedule until the (correct) parts are in my hands.

I definitely feel for you John. The anticipation does seem to increase exponentially the closer you get to delivery, and then subsequent installation and first push of that start button.
But yes, the faces that G37Xtreme posted about sum it up. I know my facial expressions got more contorted the closer I got to delivery. UPS, Y U NO DELIVER ON TIME???
