The GSR model. The MR's come with them that I know of. One of them is an 05' Evo 8, and my other friend has an 06' Evo 9. They both have projectors. Maybe you're confusing it with that???

Nope. All come with projectors which look like HID's. It's an option I think, but the MR's come with them stock. I don't know about the RS model though. But both my friends bought an Evo without HID's. Although they just bought some HID's fpr it last week. I think you're just confusing their projectors for HID's. It can look like so at night.

Yeap yeap. That's what I was trying to say, lol. I think they were options for the GSR model as well for the Evo 9.

And yes, this has gone way off topic, lol.

Well here's an update for you guys:
Still haven't been able to get a hold of Aidan. I know he has had problems with his cell phone though. Usually takes like a million calls to get one call through. So as of now, I don't know where the project stands. Finished I hope...

Not fucking far if they actually fucking work. I had left the country for a month, they had plenty of time to take care of what was left to do in that amount of time. Anything else was just plain fucking BS. Fuck excuses, tired of this shit. Even my friends told me he had been working on other cars/engines when they went by and saw no progress with my car. I think it's time to get the cars that have been there for awhile out, and leave the new ones sit as long as mine has.

I'm seriously sick of excuses. I'm a man of my word, and I expect the same from others. If it can't be expected from certain individuals, then I'll chose not to deal with them period.

8 months at the shop has been more than enough time to jack around and get it done. Don't get me wrong, I still think he's a fucking bad ass with the knowledge that he has. I just literally can't afford to be given the run around anymore. I need it done asap.

Seems like I can't make it for the 9th. I'll be in Cali on the 25th instead. I didn't want to fly in today since there is nothing for me to see except an unfinished car once again. I changed it for the 25th since that only costed $100. To change it for the 9th was $580, which they can kiss my ass with. I'm so fucking pissed.

A general statement of praise intended for a male. Popularized by the film "Finding Forrester" in which Sean Connery triumphantly and uncharacteristically exclaims that his pupil is now 'the man'. Subsequently immortalized on the website www.yourethemannowdog.com. One of the most bizarre 'tributes' on the internet.
and there, u have it..
