You know what, I have never had that Broccoli Cheese (and I'm from the place where we still call it St. Louis Bread Company like it used to be
).I will go out on a limb and take your suggestion for the hell of it. See? I listen to opinions in my threads!
Hell, I might just post a picture of the soup so we can start a good ole' debate on Panera soup choices!
....But you do know who I'm coming after if it sucks, right?

Holy crap (and crap is NOT the word I want to use)....
Guys,
For God's sake, PLEASE.....just let the OP unbox the pieces!
If you have a request, simply ask him. Let's save the comments until AFTER the SuperCharger is on.
You guys sure know how to muck up a thread......this is ridiculous.

Garage heaters? I have the door open and thinking about getting into the pool. It is mid 80s here. Poor dogs were panting on the walk from the heat.

Okay, seriously though... back we go to it. I will add them as I go and then re-link them on post #2 so you guys don't have to keep refreshing the first page.
Big square box. Hmm...
Damn packing... give me my toy!!

Two problems with your dinner photo:
1. I believe that raised design area on the fork shown is actually covering a poor quality weld.
2. It appears that the inner tine on the left side of the fork is slightly bent which is a BIG safety issue (possible cheek stabbing danger). It should never have left the drawer in that condition.
Seriously these are great photos and thanks for sharing the information. Make sure to get a lot of photos during the install, not just for us but to document this for your own future enjoyment when taking your child for a trip down car memory lane

If your post is missing from this thread it's because you were posting in conflict with site rules on hijacking or vendor vs. vendor posting. Alternately, you quoted someone or responded to someone who was posting in conflict with the rules. In the latter instance, the appropriate response is to report posts you believe should be reviewed for compliance with the rules, rather than addressing them head-on in an open thread.

That was caused by a small piece of salad clinging to that straight tine + high levels of JPG compression. However, had that been an actual defect, it could have caused me to stab myself, bleed heavily until passing out, causing me to drown in the Broccoli Cheddar soup recommended by Translator.
The horror!!

Anybody want to see brackets? Nah... Skipping those for now...
..............
Grade 10 bolts nearly everywhere!
The spacers are billet aluminum, as well - nice and light, yet strong.

Last box! Medium-heavy.
Ooh, a T-shirt! Damn it... XL.
Had I known I'd be getting clothing included, I would have given Doug my measurements... *seductively whistles*
Ooh - stickers for the tool chests!
That looks menacing...
That's a lot of T-bolt (note, not worm-drive) clamps:
Bunch of goodies... Belt, pulley, restrictors, small parts, hose adapter, etc.
Note that there are two restrictors included - they are different sizes: the smaller is 7psi, and the larger is 8psi.
S/C pulley:
Last but not least, the new plugs:

Welp... That's all folks.
So it's almost 11pm, and I've yet to touch anything on the car. Okay, I did start draining the coolant an hour ago...
You people and your bad influences...
I'll take requests now. Anybody want something in detail, in scale, your favorite Neil Young song?
