My cars vinyl has a CF look. This is because of the channels that run under it to remove are. Now it doesnt have the color weave like CF, but it may do the trick without doing the trick?

Hehe it was worth it though.

Drove in Thursday night at like midnight, gambled till 430am, then ended up at a bar at after that with some other friends from the OC. Then we ended up with all of them (5girls) in our room at 5am. We didn't even go to bed until 1030.

Then it was just shenanigans until Sunday night. H2 limos and F350 limos!!!

Love the Ken Block videos, my boss used to road race a lot at PIR. First time I showed him the original Block Gymkhana video he freaked out... lol

AWD is sweet, but they are heavy bitches. I test drove one of the new WRX's before getting my TSX, and while yes the power and the handling was sweet, the interior sucked donkey balls. No sunroof, and cheap plastic FTL.

Looks good. What flash are you using? I got a 430ii and old skool one but they work fine on the cactus v2s setup i have for now. Looking to upgrade to newer flash soon. I should have waited cause a month after i bought the V2s the V4 came out.

Ive got a SB-600. Also i have the Cactus V2 in the mail. Wanted to get something cheap to get my foot into the door with lighting, so im gonna wait till i spend 100+ on cybersyncs or pocketmagic triggers.

The range on the v2 set kinda sucks (10-15ft). Its easily fixed by soldering a wire to ant. hole on the transmitter board so you can get out to +20ft range. I currently have a wire dangling from it but im going to try and fix mount a old cell ant. on it.

you can get the regular wrx with a sunroof.. but it still has the crappy interior.. i would totally go get one if they had heated seats.. thats the only thing that holds me back between the sti and the evo X.. honestly rather have the evo for the better handling and more room

Sounds like a easy enough fix though.

Not from the factory. At least thats what the dealer told me. The dealers pay local shops to put an aftermarket sunroof in the wrx's.

Yeah after reading on hondata.com it doesn't sound like a very good idea. Especially considering that the K24Z3 breathes worse than the K24A2...

wonder if my intake manifold is better for your car.. or if you would still lose low and top end.. although.. if the vtec is on the intake cam then i would think a higher flow would help?
