Eric, this thread is great. Always wanted to see how the car looked from start to finish. I am glad to live in the same area. I know what's up and I love what he is going to do. Can't wait to see the final result.

We miss you big guy. We'll get up when you're in town.

I would need to buy the orange drift Element and then fit that setup in the TL. That would be cool!

o the possibilities.. eric, u are killing us brother.. tell us already!!!!!!!
I feel like i'm going to let you guys down. What i'm doing is epic, but not extremly epic.
