Yeah...I guess my favorite had to have been the Dunham/Sherk fight because there was blood.

I missed the pre-lims...

well the grills i come to find out were conceptual that never made it to production. I think the look with the "eyebrows" look the best on the black tl but no i am not going to do this on mine.

Figures...hate concept teases.

Yeah the eyebrows blend a bit more on the NBP TL.

Sarona makes a set of eyebrows for the CL.

I'm not a huge fan but consider it every now and then.

That sounds shady!

Yeah no eyebrows but a Sarona kit.

I thought you said you didn't think they had one.

Oh for sure!!! CB looked really good!!!
Mir putting a knee to Cro Cops glass jaw was the only thing that woke me
up for main card. What really sucks is when the FREE prelims are better than
the $55.00 main event!!

I have never met him at a meet. His E looks a little familiar though. The
yellow fogs are not very common. I have probably seen him/her around
my old hood. Thats a really good price for those rims. Too bad his tire
size is wrong. He should have gone with 245/40 R20 to keep the speedo
on the money. Maybe because he is lowered, he was avoiding some rubbing
issues. The end of the post is pretty funny!!!

Haha. Yeah I got a kick out of it this morning.

Those wheels look good on the Element and it's a good price considering it comes with tires!

There's a car show portion.

Dennis, DigiBox, I guess is gonna be showing his Box over there.

Gonna go show some support and look at Japanese things.

I'm gonna drop off my car at Winston's in South SJ to get some work done while I'm checking out the festival.

Meeting up with another Azine Member, Eric (Racer5M3) to check things out.

I'll PM you my number if you wanna grab a beer or something down there.

Those 8th Gen Accord Coupes are really growing on me...not the 2011's.

I've seen 2 now out and about that were slightly modded...pretty sick looking IMO.

Could be a potential replacement to the CL...but more than likely not.

Too bad it wasn't Acura though!!!

They look pretty good but I don't think they follow the lines of the eyebrows all that well. If they were set a little lower in line with the eyebrows, they'd be clean.

if anyone ever has played Modern Warefare 2 through the single player (and opted out of their disclaimer) played the one mission in the airport. Now read the following article and think about it... that easy? No questions, no authorities? WTF?

I didnt like them when they first came out, until i seen it modded. all they need is a drop, wheels and tint(depending on car color) to look good.

A couple of slight differences...

I think it doesn't look as aggressive as the previous design.

2010



2011



And on the tail lights, they re-designed them a bit more square from what I saw.

Somebody posted some pics of the first one to come through their Honda dealership.

I didn't like it very much...the 2010 model would be the one I'd want.

2011

it rocks imho. I'm biased as i'm a huge FPS fan especially with a modern theme to it. I was a hardcore counterstriker. I will be picking up a copy of MW: BlackOps and the new Medal of Honor

if the single player had that mission, sure! it's just a game lol. Though that one mission in MW2 can be sensitive to some hence why the game ask if you with to see such content. Hell i even shot at the Russians too for the hell of it but it didn't let me get past the mission.
