^^^ lets make a day out of it

i have the bulbs that came with the fog lamps....but if you need HID's then, that is something you might have to order and a good idea to do it at the same time

^^^ DDM Tuning....that HID kit has been working for me just fine

Get the 6000K...it will be a little bluish but will fade in color once you use it constantly....

if you want a little better match, get the 5000K....

Question for all you KC guys... I moved from AZ about a year ago and I have always had my vehicles in hot weather. Now that I am here my calipers have more crap on them than the previous 6 years combined. What do you guys do to clean/protect/maintain the exterior parts in this crazy humid, rainy, sleepy, snowing conditions?

^^^ regular washes...

wash your car frequently...dont let that dust/salt/etc settle in...use a quality soap/cleaner....

as far as the calipers go, cant do anything about that dude....just when you change the pads/rotors/etc make sure you have enough grease on there so that it wont rust/seize/etc

Give us a shout sometime, I think our next meet/get together might be centered around a mavericks game. Always good to hear from you, if you need anything give me/us a shout.

Like Anil said, frequent washes. I redid (sanded, primed, painted, etc.) my calipers 10 months ago and they front ones are nearly torn to shit already.

I like the way you think, but I think we are gonna do a Mavericks game next Sat. the 26th.

Me too





Mavericks hockey game!

Ok, since I am a horrible chapter leader I am going to try to schedule a winter get together. Lets try for Jan. 26th, they are playing the Tulsa Oilers at 7:05 pm. As some of you know Steven Bell is the PA announcer at the games, so this is one way to make sure he attends this meet We can try to arrange a dinner beforehand or just do some drinks/snacks post game. Cheapest tickets are 15.00 plus tax for the ends, and parking at the Event Center is always free.

I will make a list below to try to get a head count on people, please put you name on the list if you plan on attending. If hockey isn't your thing (Don't tell Steve if it isn't, there may be a ban in you future ) you can always meet up with us before/after the game. Hope to see many of you there, plus meeting some of you newbies.

Steve, let me know if you can get us a deal or something to try to sweeten the deal.

1. Matt+ 1
2. Anil (Swoosh) +3
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

So my buddy was just looking up tickets for the game this Saturday, and they're practically sold out. On their site to check for seat availability, there's spotty seats here and there. So we might not be able to go, unless someone has tickets already.
