Well it looks like there is a 50/50 of me doing the 3s swap (damn bro won't make up his mind). Anyways, if i get the OK tonight, first thing tomarrow i will be ordering the st185 3s-gte front clip from venus. Well the thing is, Venus sent me some pics of the clip, but it did not look like the clips ive seen before. here are the pics, i don't want to get screwed.
Maybe it's just the angle, maybe it's just me, or maybe its the fact that im about to dump 1500 for the clip. Who knows, here are the pics.

Thanks for the help guys, so far Venus is the only place that has the front clip in stock. I just E-mailed them, and asked them about their warranty ( if they have any) and if they had another clip in stock but so far no response. When they sent me the pictures, this is what they told me about the clip: "Rough estimate around 75, 000 kilometers. Compression test numbers ran at about 200 PSI across"

Wow... 200psi from a 3SGTE... that's a lot... Umm... if you could... i'd reccomend you pay them a visit. I'd do it for you myself... but I'm up to my neck in shop stuff. I have 2 engine swaps to complete this week... Last time I was there... they had 2 ST205's. Maybe you wanna look into those? If you ask me... it just might be easier...
