So i went for a test drive, and it could be just me, but it does seem like the car is more "flat" and stable on turns. But then again it could be just psychological because i got a mod that improves my handling.
But I do have to say I am still SUPER amazed by how this SUV or "SAV" handles, im still amazed everytime i take a turn.

If your tetanus booster shot is more than 5 years old, get one right away besides cleaning your wound.

The install as you guys said was a piece of cake.
BUT even on the dinan instructions it said to modify the washer fluid reservoir. Its not a hards task at all, all you have to do is shave some of the plastic off that would block the brace.
My clumsy ass still managed to cut myself in the process with a dremel tool. The cut is kind of deep, I know i should have used some precaution with the tool but I did not causing me to cut myself (pic below.. for faint hearted just skip the last pic..its not that bad

But here are the pics

He is 19 years old. Chances are, he is up to date. Regardless, you did good to mention it. You can't send him a bill, though.
