LOL-Zach, I've already got a J-pipe. I've never been interested in the exhaust, so I'm good to go!

Eric, if you were asking if I was going to that meet, I can't. I am on the radio at the Classic Rock station here in Kansas City every Saturday and Sunday. I've been on the radio for 35 years here in Kansas City. So unfortunately, I won't be going.

oh ohh how about black roof?

MEKO, it's funny you say that. I have a left-over 1/2 sheet of 3M carbon fiber. Swoosh and I laid it on the roof of the Type S-just to see what it would look like. I would consider a carbon fiber roof!

Your car is definitely one of the best looking ASM type-S's that I have seen. I'm a huge fan of the blacked out tail lights, looks awesome. I have a NBP type-S and plan on painting my calipers either metallic silver or metallic blue.

Couple questions that I could probably search for and find,

What is the purpose of the spacers? Do they just push the wheels out further so the car has a wider appearance?

Where did you purchase the brembo letters? I checked eBay and Amazon but they are somewhat pricey.

Thanks JJH,

Yes, the spacers are just to "fill up the wheel well" and push the wheels/tire closer to the edge of the body of the car.

The Brembo lettering came from Rockstar-he had an extra set and gave them to me. But I think he got them from Ebay!

Well I am studying graphic design and I work for the university's marketing dept as a student designer so I'm getting good experience already. And I need to be full time to be able to afford it year round.

I was talking to Tyler (CLtotheTL) tonight about the UR Pulley. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on that.

Tyler-you're right. But I talk to you guys, and it makes me want to do more!

Hopefully Anil and I will get together on Sunday to install the short ram and fix the LED's in the headlight.

Steven, you already know what you need to do.
You want stop modding, you step down as mega super awesome moderator. Bow your head in shame, and close your AZ account.

It's the only surefire cure.

Making people laugh is what keeps me going, Steven.
What Tyler said isn't true, (unless he's really really handsome!)
Gosh, can't wait for MAGIC MIKE TOMORROW!!!
