You should drive it down the street a couple times so you can collect all the parts that got lost during the build. Take pics.
Things will be different than before, yes.
Got rid of the traction control.
changed to 3.42 gears instead of 2.73s.
May not have the rear Konis on for the maiden voyage.
Sadly?, I have plenty of rim and tire sets to chose from .
I'll be attempting to make the AC work before the maiden voyage.
the radio and speakers won't be hooked up until I'm certain the mechanical details are completely worked out.
Paint won't be done for "maiden voyage."

As for open exhaust, depends if I can get a friend to do some welding for me before then or not... But having driven with open-headers before, the memory of the drone, resonance and overall displeasure are motivation enough to "get it done" before giving it any RPM.
