^ In addition to that, ARP studs don't stretch. You will rip the threads out with the studs from your block and have your head lift off before the studs stretch. I don't think the threads on them would be damaged either even if something like that did happen - I've seen OEM studs with no thread damage, but were the result of a lifted head - they just had lots of shavings in the threads, but I bet they were stretched too after that. ARP studs shouldn't have a problem with either situation. I hope that's not confusing haha.

bottom end looks really good
did u have the whole car repainted cuz my car is the exact color as ur bay.
you are the only person, besides me, that i have seen with that color
u should relocate your battery to the trunk, seems easy enough.
