Cool Thank you!

Hmmm...Thank you Nich...I appreciate it! I agree on black cars...but that said, this will likely be my last. The battle with swirls isn't worth how nice it looks for like 10 minutes once a week.
Hmmm...orange could work, red is already a pretty intense/bright color though, have you considered silver or maybe gunmetal? White?

I'd be sad for you to see my car up close and in the sun...you'd be let down in a major way. She ain't perfect...but she ain't bad for 9 years old. Thank you!

Thank you, Joey...I'm running some ebay specials... 120 light LED switchbacks...version 1, IIRC. They weren't too much...like $35?

Thanks, buddy. I know that's a compliment. Anytime I get screwed, I'm happy.

I really would love to meet up with all of you. And honestly, I do feel very honored and that you guys even asked me to. Aside from my overall disdain for such long drives...it would really be tough to swing that long of a drive/time for a vacation that is car related. Maybe one day I'll plan a "guy long weekend" and head up.



Steven, sure why not...seems like both of them have found their way to meander off and on topic and have the same tone. Might as well just have ONE to have to keep up on.
Thank you, btw. Hope it's not too much trouble.

It's about the same drive time for me. Perfect middle ground for a meet.

Honestly, Chip...with driving there and setting up the camera and tackling different angles...4 seems unrealistic. Don't get all queer about it though.

Well, you post pictures that worth more than seeing just once, but damn thread changes pages too quickley
I hate going back

I should right? Forget coils for now
Right now, 400$ is much better for me than paying 675 for coils and then camber kit + 200 + allignment 100
Boom $1000

Meko, I would get coils or atleast springs....forget rims for now

this way your car will look better (looks good now) and then get the jpipe so you get a little more power

Hey MEKO, how about you fix that dent in your rear bumper before modding anything else?
