Yeah some white kid. By the way he was driving, he'll end up on the news sometime soon

 

not russian?

 

I dont think so, he looked more American/European

 

What mods next for you Alex?

 

you didnt get ur car painted Chameleon now did you?

 

u can tell by how many different-colored parts are on his car.

 

Well it was all silver, but it did have quite a few key scratches on the door, i wonder why

 

CT i/h/e

• Ordered Parts - check!!
• Scheduled Pre-Install Dyno - check!!
• Need to schedule Install as soon as parts arrive - waiting!!
• Scheduled Post-Dyno - check!!
• Enjoy more power and new feel/sound of car - anxiously waiting!!

 

If you are installing those mods at comptech, Gary, you better pick me up on your way there. I wanna see the dyno

 

what? me? nawww

no but seriously, nope. plus my insurance wouldnt cover that!

 

no clue, i try not to plan that far ahead
i really dont know yet, gotta get my car back to be able to fully function again. i cant think without my baby. im incomplete

 

Install is getting done at dealer. The pre-install dyno is scheduled for Sept. 16th, early AM. You are welcome to join me. But would you rather wait for the post-install dyno? You can also witness both if you like -- maybe do a vid.

 

So im assuming that it will still be NBP once it leaves the shop. Also, you might want to consider getting a clear bra for the front-end of your car, if you haven't already. Quite a few guys here have that (i bet Gary has covered his whole car ) and i have seen how beneficial it is. Once i get my front-end repainted, i plan on putting one

 

Yeah, I'm down for both. I dont have anything planned for the 16th that i know of, so that should be perfect. I'll bring the camera along as well

 

yeah probably. though i can honestly state by experience that it's not always your own fault if u get keyed. when mine got vandalized, it was totally random. some kids just doin stupid , i can imagine a bunch of 16-year-olds all crammed in a civic dryvin around egging and keying cars at random. oh well, at least it was nothing worse

 

True, our car did get egged once and it was just random, because other cars were egged as well. Also, there are always haters that are jealous. You just gotta roll with it.

 

No but I wish I had... something like a car condom... And I can attest to the fact it's already paid for itself in preventing some major rockchips.

 

CLEAR BRA! i've been MEANING to ask about that!!! where, how, who,!!! tell me tell me tell me! i've heard of that but know nothing at all about it and am definitely interested! tell me more! someone! anyone!

 

Ok then -- be prepared for an early morning arrival... around 6:45AM at your place. I want to be at CT near 8AM.

The other dyno is scheduled for the 30th.

 

! i HATE haters. those r the only people i hate on!

 

I know Hammer got his done at Eclipse on Auburn Blvd. Basically its thick plastic stuck onto the car. It prevents rock chips as well as bird crap stains etc etc. not to mention swirlmarks So you better get it put on right after the car comes out of the shop

 

Sounds good, I'll have to set my alarm . As far as the 30th, i'll come if i dont have class that day, and it depends if i will be staying in davis or at home. But, i'll keep you posted.

 

If car has been repainted, need to wait 90 days before install. You should also inform the paintshop that a clearbra is going to be installed over their paintjob.

 

interesting, why 90 days? probably to let the paint cure. Where you gettin' ur car painted at? They might do Clear-Bra'ing.

 

WHAT WHAT WHAAAT?
i've know where eclipse is! ive been there plenty of times, mostly for my former car though, where i got the tint and compustar on my accord a couple years back. so how much is this gonna run me? why 90 days? why tell the paint shop? thanx ahead guys, this is REALLY important to me

 

Correct!!

 

It's pricey, i believe its around 300-400 dollars, not certain though. Gary, how much was your's for your CL? Or how about this, we all go to Jim's Bodyshop and ask for a group discount We all know Pimp get's his front end repainted before every meet anyways,

proper curing of paint... because there's always a chance the paint could lift during the clearbra install... so the paintshop can make sure they've prep'ed the car and shot the paint to the best of their ability to minimize the chances of paint lifting.

 

Gary, oh wise one!

 

I'm thinking of meshing my fogholes and re-meshing my grille. That should be too expensive, the only question is which color am i gonna paint the mesh

Let's try not to own pages, sharing is caring

 

thanx a lot bro! so bout how much did u pay?

 

My CL doesn't have it, only my X. And it was $1100 retail for the X kit where I had it done. However, I paid significantly less than that -- less $400...

How thick is the paint on Jim's front end? 1/4"?

 

u know i'm kiddin when i do that, ryte bro?

 

for real, we should all go over to that bodyshop, im sure they'd hook us up

 

jim is "pimpd@ddy" right? he has his own body shop? is this true? or a joke?

 

Yeah i know but it kinda interrupts the flow of the conversations

 

Yeah Pimpdaddy is Jim. He goes to S & S Autobody if I am not mistaken. They do good work as well, he doesnt own it though, he just goes there every month or so

 

Maybe if all the rock throwers on the roadways put these on the vehicles, we would suffer from rockchips so much:



However, I couldn't find any that fit my CL or X.

 

'sall good
