Finally got around to ordering a nav/gps unit. It should be exactly the same as Tobwac's. I have been emailing the owner back and forth for about a week now talking about discounts and getting details. I was able to get a slight discount on my single unit, and if more people are willing to order them he will discount theirs depending on how many are ordered(and I hopefully will get a small refund for peddling the units). My total cost was $515 shipped. I will do a write up once I receive and install it to make sure everything works before I let him know about any other orders. Just giving a heads up so keep it in mind if this is something you would be interested in.

Unit in action:

I would probably be interested if everything works (including temperature display) and the price could be reduced slightly.

I think they look kinda cool, they give you the option to make your custom design. Not sure if it's laser etched or what though.

Need opinions. Calipers and brackets in the mail.

Brackets will be a matte black.

So the calipers

RL BBK calipers powder coating

Base color Graphite metallic/

Q: What color for the ACURA text?

Black
White
Raw
Polished

Then clear will be applied.

I am leaning towards black as i like very subtle mods but not sure.

Look at it though. It's only on the front faces of the spokes. So either they taped that thing off perfectly or it's something else. I think this gives people the option to be really creative and add subtle touches to the car.

No haven't taken off my front bumper yet. I would go to the meet on Feb. 1 but I just went to C&C in January . Parents don't let me drive solo on Highways and I don't want to wake them at 5 am to come with me again to C&C. If there's another meet at that mall like last time or in Katy on a Friday I probably can come. We should just have the next meet in Katy Me and Jesus are already here.

Too lazy to take of my bumper. Ain't no one got time. By 5 am I was reffering to C&C since that's when I usually leave. I would have to bring a parent if I went to the game since I have my permit and it's outside Katy. Didn't know I had to take some stupid 14hr driving class to get my license.
