Oh, derp me!
Car is running great. The kit itself isn't really a bad kit and with adding a lot of power to any setup you can expect an issue or two. It's how you then handle that issue that either makes others shy away from even buying it, or potentially still giving it a shot.
So far there haven't been any other issues and I hope to keep it that way.
Thanks man! And nope, no response. That email was sent on May 1st and I haven't heard anything back, nor do I expect to. Maybe they will reply in the thread I made on S2Ki.
Lol J!
Thanks for fielding that question Maj!

Glad everything was finally worked out. Did you ever get a response to the email you sent?
Best no-nonsense action cam is the AS15 but it's discontinued. I think they sold as low as $79.. won't find those prices anymore. The AS100/V goes on sale periodically for as low as $100 to 150. If you need it now, best to look for a bundle deal. The AS20 is still available for around $150. I advise getting the AS100 over it though.

Thanks Marco! 
Yes sir. The pics weren't super close up, but yeah those were CF body panels. The pattern of the CF probably makes it hard to tell when you're not right up on the car or if photos are from far away.

So I went to a car show today. First one I've ever really done before and it was actually the first one this organization ever put together. Lots of classic cars, but it was open to all makes and models, even bikes. They had categories for People's Choice, Best 4x4, Best Domestic, Best Muscle Car, Best Street Rod and Best Import. I entered for Best Import. I didn't win, which I was pretty pissed about, especially when you see the car that won. The only people that could vote were people that entered the show and not spectators. If spectators could vote, I think it would have been a totally different story, but when you show up in a car club, of course they will all vote for each other pieces of shit. I feel like my car would still look better if it were entered in the show while sitting on jack stands, with no wheels, and no bumpers, compared to the other shitty imports there, but you be the judge. Met some cool people today though. One older guy had a turbo S2000, but he had his historic car there today and another guy came up to me and told me he had a SSM 04 S2000 in his garage with OEM hardtop and completely stock with only 12k miles on it! 
Here are a few pics from today.

Yeah man, talk about a slap to the face.
I didn't even plan to stick around all day, but then after seeing my competition, I was like, hmmm maybe I should wait around. It would be a shame if they announced me as the winner and then I wasn't there to claim my prize.
Then they announced the winner and I was like
you've got to be fucking kidding me.
There was a guy there basically begging people for votes for his motorcycle and he won. So I said, I guess this guy must have paid people to vote for that thing.
I can take losing, but not like that, or to that.

I've gone to a couple of shows where best import was really a clown car award. Looks like the old timers were having their fun voting for the most ridiculous piece of shit rice burner there. Don't sweat it.. Some awesome rides and cool car guys!

Now if he had Patrick rims, I couldn't even hate if he won lol. Damn Maj, you can find anything. I think that is a different car in that club though cause I remember seeing that silver one around before.
Having an LS engine in the S would be crazy. Some people have even put in the Viper motor. I can't help but think how messed up the 50/40 weight distribution though and kill the handling some.

In no means to offend but that car is a pos compared to your beautiful S. I would have been so pissed. I honestly would've just left right there and then.
Now if he would have had patrick rims then I would accept the defeat as patrick rims>everything
Patrick rimz = ultimates zwaq poyntzz

Thanks J! I love taking pics of that cute wittle face.
Thanks Anil. She is surprisingly quick for only having 3 legs. We took her to my friends house and she was keeping up with his Jack Russell pretty easily.
Thanks man. I basically did leave as soon as the import winner was announced and I made it known to the people around me what a joke it was. Like I said in a previous post, I didn't really want to stay all day, but competition in my category was pretty bleak so I stuck around. After seeing who the winner was, I wish I stuck to the original plan.
Thanks Steven!

Wow Stitch is more agile and coordinated than some 4-legged dogs I've seen..
You've got a great heart for welcoming that pup into your family, Chip. I'm sure he's going to bring you a lifetime of happiness and warm fuzzy feelings.
