The other cool thing is that the M bumpers are a direct fit, so if you decide to go for a more aggressive look, you can just bolt them on.
Hopefully you had a safe trip. Did you see any crazy sh*t along the way? Where did you go??

Mpls to Oklahoma City to Austin, Tx, to Oklahoma City to St Louis and finally back to Mpls next week.

Southeast Kansas in the Flint Hills is really cool, the Texas hill country is really nice, there is a kick-ass BBQ joint in the middle of nowhere Texas, the Hard Eight, and 75 and sunny in December is a fantastic thing.

Do you have family/friends in all those cities??

75 and sunny sounds good right about now! It was 25 and snowy here today.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

It sounds like fate is going to bring them together.

Have fun Josh and have a safe trip home!

Hey man,

If you're interested, I'll shoot you a slightly discounted price since you're a local. $175 cash will take them home.

Sorry about the PM's. I have them turned off to keep the riff-raff out.

Talking Merry Christmas to all and a Happy and safe New Years

I just got back this weekend from my 2300 mile trip to NY,NJ & PA with the Family, Dogs included. I took the family to Rockereller center, Radio City, Saks Fith ave, and did Time Square at Night. It felt good to be back out there in my old stomping grounds. I did not use the TL but the MDX made the trip quite comfortable. I went non stop to my bros place in PA. Trip out was 19 hours trip back was faster 17.5 hours.

No, they were $200 shipped. If you're looking to haggle the price just went back up. I don't have to sell them.

When I looked at your add I saw the 175.00 right below the photo of the PCD's I did not realize it was for the j-Pipe. So 175.00 is the price for pick up. I need and address unless you want to meet some were

Yeah, I looked at the posting again and figured you must have been looking at the price for the J-pipe. I'd be cool with meeting you half-way. Maybe even closer to the cities. I was thinking we could do it at the BestBuy off of I35 in Lakeville. You cool with that?

By the way, I've got a CT S/C kit for sale in the black market if anyone is interested. ~10k miles / additional items / nothing wrong with it. It's listed for nearly $1k under the other kits available right now. I'll even throw in the battery for a local buyer.

Agreed! I got the Comptech icebox and mugen visors for my TSX, but i'd like to tint the windows before I start messing with the visors. And of course I would like it to not be freezing, and I'd like to see if I can get a light sensitivity prescription from my optometrist so I could get a darker tint legally

It's too cold to work on the car and I've got these parts lined up, driving me crazy!

+1 Going there this week to take my y-pipe off. Seems like a decent deal to. $30 for an hour. Worth it for the convenience.

Snow tires FTW! Had them on the STi last year and will have them on whatever car I own until I move out of Minnesnowta.

Still driving my Infiniti. Car has been doing just fantastic in the snow.

And I agree, I won't own another car without snow tires if i live in a place like this. They make such a big difference, it is unbelievable. I can stop, turn, and accelerate on snow like its a sunny day. So much fun

I bought a set of brand new Eagle GT's last winter and I couldnt even make it up the little hill in my apartment complex. I had to go back down the hill and get speed to make it. During the summer I tore them up on the Autox track and got me a set of used Bridgestone Turenza's with 80% tread left on them and I make it up the hill just fine. The used tires are doing better than the brand new set i bought.... go figure

Anyone locally interested in a Harman Kardon receiver (AVR635), some speakers - Yamahas and a JBL center (full surround set, not from a box), or a Harmony 900 remote thats 2 weeks old?

I've got them all for sale (with the exception of the speakers) in the BM if anyone is interested. Probably easiest to PM me, but you can check out the listings in the BM as well for some additional info.

Selling off my old gear to make room for my new SC-37.
