Cheers,
eheheheh I wish... I wish...

Yesterday I've mounted everything except the rear sway bar and the shocks (still missing the electronic...).

What I liked:

1- Great step by step labels on each bag linking the manual step to the bags.

2- Love the motor mount. Just wonderful.

3- The sway bars mounting is a lot better now. Now I can mount then with almost no gap or undesired movement.

4- Awesome top deck and bulkheads. The small carbon links between rear bulkheads seems a great idea.

5- Very good camber link ball connectors support, made of thick carbon.

6- The stock ball cups are now great! No need to go for RPM ones. Really good fit with no binding with the balls.

7- The hex wheels are thicker which allows a better contact with the wheel mount and doesn't required the use of washers anymore.

8- One more hole in the shock towers for a better adjustment.

9- A lot better diff pulley, which I believe will make the diffs to last much longer.

What could be improved:

1- The holes in the suspension wishbones are a little too tighter for the bars that support them. I needed to use a dremel a lot to find a perfect fit.

2- Wasted a lot of time with the dremel to enlarge the screw holes at the bottom of the chassis. Otherwise they would make the chassis not flat.

And for now it's about it I'll keep you posted.
