Nope, I ordered it about a month ago but they have a huge back log of orders. Performix has had a problem with keeping up with demand for the plastidip but they increased production last month so it should get better.

I'll have to read it later. A quick summary of what is going on would help.

Nice, I'll attempt to craft something witty to ask Steve for a change to, or just homogenize it to my standard consumr.whore moniker.

And I am now registered for the meet in June, definitely not winning the road warrior trophy tho .

@twig
Apt suggestion, I certainly haven't posted too much, however, I am damn good at lurking and learning.

Glad you decided to come to the meet.




Possibly adding to the Acura family tonight. GF and I are going to look at an RDX for her tonight. Hopefully we can get a good deal.

I been to that place when I was working on the benz, and it is a great place! They have multiple bays, I suggest emailing or calling to make sure you have the spot you need. The owner is awesome too, has many tools that you can borrow, and even helps out here and there too.

$20 an hour for a full lift and any tools you don't have, can't be beat!

This pretty much sums it up, man this place is fantastic!

Anil, Dan and I hit up the place over the weekend to install my Tein SAs (install review coming soon on my thread). The owner (David) is pretty awesome, he definitely helps out the people who are there. His ingenuity saved us a few times. I asked for some business cards and Anil and I are going to spread the word at the meet about his business. I will definitely be going back there!

Buda: that's cool, what color are you going for?
Black with blaze blue accents and a gloss finish. I had a complex design in mind but unfortunately I no longer have time to do that before the meet. Especially since I had my girlfriend help me rotate the wheels and she tore the plastidip on every single wheel. Don't mention that to her, she feels bad. I have to redo all the wheels so thinking a slightly different design as the one I did was a pain in the arse. The kit finally shipped today and will get here monday so I'll be taking either next week or the week after off of work to get a bunch of stuff done including my car/wheels.

If this goes well then I'll end up doing something different the next time I dip it.

I will miss FF again. I'm leaving for Salina tomorrow to paint my rental house this weekend.

Oh no, not another brainwashed individual released into the public!! Just kidding (kinda ), congrats to her

We ended up getting "Babe" a CPO '10 RDX sh-awd w/ tech in Basque Red Pearl. She LOVES it, and was sad to see her Honda go. Already gave it some LED love, debadged, and got the front windows tinted today.

As regarding the Sat activities for the meet, I think its been settled that we are doing go-carts. I think we should meet up for lunch around 12-1 then hit up sadlers afterwards. Then give people a few hours to rest or whatever then meet to go to D&B. What time were we going to meet up Sat night?

Congrats Steven! I bet you're proud!

After installing my coils last weekend and scheduled to put on my new tires/rims tomorrow, I'd like to go to FF this week to show the new setup, but I'm going up to Manhattan to celebrate my friends graduation.

Yeah it looks good, only because you left the Turbo badge

Find that Nav drive and I'll look into the Navi hack. Also reminds me that I need your Nav disc to get your setup too.

Hey guys, I know haven't been the most active member on here, but I am registered for the Acura meet.

Little update for those who care: Sold the TL few month back and downsized to a bone stock '01 GS-R that has a factory added lip kit. Considering it hasn't been destroyed like 90% of the Integras in the midwest, I think it will hold some leverage at the meet.

By the way Anil, I still owe you lunch for the work you did on my TL in 20 degree weather. I hope to see you at the meet man!

Sad to see the TL go, but congrats on the GS-R

Some of us are going to FF tonight if you would like to come and hang.

Brandson has an ITR not GS-R, so I think.


You better not keep us waiting tonight, we have limited time before we leave.
