Thanks everyone! Sorry for such a late reply. I have not been on here for a very long time. Just a quick update. The car is running great and I painted all the carbon fiber black. The carbon fiber took a beating because of the heat. I actually like the black look and maybe later today I will take a picture of it. The transmission is holding up well after almost 4 years. I did change my headlights but I think that's about it.
I'm getting ready to do some stuff next year. I will post when time comes.

My Transfer Case is dying. I ordered a used one and it should be here soon. It's used but has 36k miles and I got it for $650.
I notice some issues with my suspension. A lot of boots leading from the axel and the control arms. I got CV joint boots for all the axels, total of 8. Got a ball joint for the lower control arms and some whiteline parts that I will be installing also, wish they had everything I needed as a product.
Whiteline KLC163 - Front Sway Bar Links
Whiteline W53382 - Front Lower Control Arm Bushings - Inner Rear Position
Whiteline W0593 - W0593 Front Control Arm Bushing
Ordered some Nylon And Stainless Steel Braided Fuel Oil Gas Line Hose Black because some of them are starting to look bad on the car and some High Temperature Silicone Vacuum Tubing Hose.
Will be ordering a new transmission radiator fan as my fan is DEAD.
That means when I get to the shop, it will be a busy day.

Ok currently planning to do a relocation of battery to the trunk. I'm planning on a decent sound system and I need to relocate the battery so that I can have a full size.
For the trunk:
Optima Yellow Top 34/78 Battery
Optima Billet Battery Tray Racing Race Trunk Relocation Box Hold Down
Military Spec Battery Terminal Top Post Kit
2 AWG Flexible Welding Cable Black and Red
For Engine Bay:
Part Number: 8571A017 (Joint Wiring)
Part Number: 8571A018 (Fusible Link Cover)
Part Number: 8571A019 (Fusible Link)
Custom bracket to hold the joint wiring box
Currently this is what I plan to order.
