Yeah, had a great time. I heard talk of putting the photos up on flickr, which sounds like a good plan. There's already a well-used acura tag there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/acura/

I'll get the pics up soon. Gotta do a little sorting and photoshopping.

It was a good day - Jorge nice to meet you and Sabrina.

For those who didn't make it out at night - we showed some civics what real cars can do

See what happens when you don't show up?

We got ourselves into some fun, although it seemed a little sketch at first...

maybe, maybe...

hey u know how Comptech was being slow as hell and unresponsive about shipping your intake? We'll my Injen is from 2001, and did not have a CARB sticker on it...I emailed their customer support and after sending them a few pics of the box and intake on the car I got an official metal decal stating its CARB approval in the mail today - total time less than 10 days. Now i'm straight even on the coasts where the test emissions! Now THAT is customer service! just a little fyi

If excelerate comes back and says they don't have any, I'll be getting the Injen. Too bad they only make them in chrome and black now, that blue would look super-pimp with my blue paint. But, then I would have to be like George and paint the plastic under my hood, then I would have to paint the front and rear bumpers again, and the wing, it would just turn into a large project...

My favorite

Heh, not to play favorites, but Josh just sent me that center line pic of my car I liked so much:



In the full size version (click it) you can see that by flipping the image after physically flipping my plate for the shoot it came out looking like MN has some very cool plates -- happy accident.

Welcome definitive and congratulations for the wise move TL over accord

For those who didn't see the video from last weekend:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_JVDxi3xz4

I swapped my license plate lights with LED and they look good not as white as I wanted them to be but still better than the originals. Ry4an - what kind of bulbs do you have on your RL?

TL-ed. I bought the white replacement LEDs from this guy: http://tec-toyz.com/ in Nov. 2006 off ebay. However, a quick check shows his ebay feedback took a header in May of this year and then he closed his account http://myworld.ebay.com/tec_toyz . Probably best avoided now.

I tried mine for interior light and it looked nice but on the plate it doesn't look as white. May be its the all blue color on the plate that gives the illusion. I am going to order some for interior now.

If there were 5 more of us, a $10 collection would do it. Then we could look forward to Ken showing up to the meets!

oh come on! for our first meet i picked a huge ass parking lot in the middle of a busy intersection. you guys pick some obscure location under a bridge in an area loaded with one ways. that ain't fair

but that tom tom does look damn good. if this savings for a pioneer avic z2 doesnt work out, i think i'll get it.
