must've missed you. everyone was scattered around...the meet was a little unorganized but i guess that's to be expected with so many cars.

brady was having a miserable time. we had to leave early bc he couldn't take the heat...but the weather was perfect for a car meet.

here are a few more pics.

us arriving at the gate













this one came out really well IMO



all in all it was a great meet. i wish i had more time to walk around and look at cars...next time i'll leave the dog at home. i felt like i was on a leash the whole time just like him.

oh yeah, after a couple of hours...the people running the show started turning cars away and they wouldn't let anybody in (even though they had PLENTY of parking available)...so people got creative.

check it out.

dude we were walking around with him for the first 1/2 hour or so and he had enough. i've never seen him act like that before...over heated, drooling, panting. freakin' drama queen.

the bridge drive was really stupid. i couldn't believe they were doing that. at least 20 cars came across that bridge when i was there.

i'll catch you at the next one!

BTW, I was all set to paint my calipers and use that decal this weekend but I had to put it on hold. It was just too cold outside (low 40s) to paint.

ahh that's too bad. i didn't do mine in the best conditions either. it was misting outside, crappy humidity, but they turned out good and still look good. no brake dust even.

-3.5 up front and -3.8 in rear.

adjustable front ball joints and ingalls rear camber kit.

thanks man. hmm...i got the hood a long time ago, like last april i want to say? CLtotheTL32 (tyler) hooked me up. i drove down to NC to get it...that was the "extreme weather" trip i was talking about yesterday.

alright, (flame suit strapped on) i'm going to be the guinea pig for these and i'll be doing the mod this weekend. i got the rear caliper covers, and i'll be sanding them down like i did with my front brembos, and repainting them lexus starfire pearl to match the fronts.

got them yesterday...they are total pieces of shit BUT after i'm done with them, i think they will look sharp and compliment the fronts very well.

CF pattern is OK at best. either way, they're getting repainted and the CF one was the only kind i could find online for cheap.

funny you ask.

the original 7.5" ones he was selling would not fit over the rear calipers on our 3G TL's so he upgraded me to the 9's and they're the exact same size as the fronts...which i like. they'll stand out more and not get lost.

Well I guess that's cool they match in size. Although they are a different style. And correct me if I'm wrong but aren't most if not all brembos in the rear smaller then the brembos in the front? 6/4, 4/2, etc?

Anyways, I'm sure you will make them look good.
