I'm doing both also...I'm reading up on how to bleed the brake fluids.

I'm buying the Hawk Ceramics...maybe we can test them out on each other cars.

Actually, if we set up a couple of traffic cones, maybe we can do an inpromptu comparison test.

Let's keep the car's proportional and aesthetic after we're done with the majority of the installation. A shoot is a must.

I don't think I am going to be able to make it. Kinda dissapointed, but my girlfriends 21st bday is that night so I will be spending the day with her and taking her out to DC at midnight. Had some nice goodies waiting to be installed, Greddy SP2, M3 lip spoiler, and possibly the backup cam

Just for all the mods and the people setting up this meet, i will be coming for sure! I will not be coming down friday night though, just driving down in the morning. So i will PM a few of you (Reach i think) for phone numbers so i don't get lost while coming down there! I will have Noyka Hyper H11's and KP Technology one touch moonroof component to install and then i can help out where needed. Let me know what tools you may need me to bring and i'll see what i can scrounge up!

Don't go out of your way for tools. Just bring anything you have around and I'm sure we'll find a use for it.

I believe it starts around Noonish, but I think a few of us are meeting beforehand somewhere in Maryland, just because we have some extra time Me and |crazyazn| for example.

Off topic, but I wanted to ask this to people in the area. Did anyone get a switchblade key for their TSX, and if so where did they get it cut and programmed?

Thanks

I have it. After getting it from FLBusa, one of the local guys who works as a locksmith actually got a bunch of us together and did our for us for around $50 apiece. However, I am sure that there are other people in the area that could take care of it, though more likely than not for a higher price.

Cool, I ordered my key from FLBusa today. Which locksmith did you use? If you don't want to post the locksmith's info, you can PM me. Does the locksmith do everything from cutting to programming?

Actually, I don't recall the name of the shop. The guy's name was Chris and he was down in Woodbridge, near Potomac Mills.

There's a thread over in the TL section (it was a TL guy that organized it) so if you search, you may still be able to find it.

I ordered a Memory 1 Switchblade for $95 from FLBusa. Hopefully I won't have to spend more than $50 to get it cut and programmed.

I spoke w/ JDM5lugHatch (Chris) who works at Baldino's in Woodbridge, through PM and he said "i can cut but not program. it's too difficult to get the machine to program them here to my shop and to be honest it's not worth my time unless there is another huge group like the 1st time." and to go to "Baldino's in Newington. Only let Billy do it. Tell him to call me if he has any questions but he is really good like myself."

If anybody else has gotten theirs done around here, please chime in.
