There's actually a Jimmy John's right near home...it is right next to the new Burger and Beer Joint that I went to the grand opening of!

Yes, Anil and I are in texting conversations. I text after work, he texts back at Sids 2am feeding All good as there's no rush from either of us since he's not sure he wants to buy and I'm not sure I want to sell yet.

Just spent a couple hours looking through your thread and I must say your car looks great!! I like what you have done to it. Modding it but keeping it looking classy! Nice work and good luck with it as you continue to tweak it! :-)

The AdvNs are absolutely the BOMB! As long as you keep the TL you need to keep the rims (unless you sell them to me of course)

As far as the aspecs....they'd make a great set of winter shoes for me so I'm on the hunt for a pre 04 set as we'll. you have the setup of envy for most us. Keep on "rockin on"

Hey, thanks a lot, man. I appreciate you visiting the thread and the compliment.

So, gorgeous morning and after field work on my own on Thursday, I told Betty we needed to hit this route up A1A in the S over the weekend. Great time! Other than hitting a raised manhole cover with the lip protector...awesome put a small crack in the oem lip and spider cracks in the paint all over, I guess they didn't use enough flex additive in the clear.

Anyway, it's not TERRIBLE, but enough to annoy me.

J.

I love the interior, exterior, shots, drop, topless , garage, weather, your hot red sunglasses... everything.

When is the surgery on the calipers? And what color are we going? Make it look like mine? Copper orange on Silver car? No?
Can you fit RDX calipers on it or brembo? Would look sick too

Great car, again I am glad you did it man. Amazing design on this car, looks great, I love it really. No matter what, silver is always the best color for a car at the end... Rest is nice too but silver is different

Fk, I do need to clean my sensor.

Thanks Meko...
no, I'll likely do gunmetal for the calipers but only once I figure out if I'm doing some new rotors. I'm in no rush and truly enjoying driving the car and not spending all my time modding it.

car looks great Jeremy....

+1 on just enjoying it and modding it down the line...for example when you need brakes, maybe look for a BBK

other than that, looks AWESOME !!!

Well, I'm a CANES fan to make the wife happy! Golden Panthers, baby! At least until they become division 1A.

I love the CANES though...I started attending games at the LAST CALL AT THE OB. Great experiences~

ha ha...I wish! That was a stop we made on our trip down A1A. RIGHT before I caught the lip of a manhole cover with the lip "protector"...cracked lip and spider cracks in clear paint. Guess that's the push I needed to eventually have the front bumper redone by Brian.
