So here is the other spoiler option the Wald spoiler actually on a USBM IS-F. The middle curves up higher like a CAL trunk for BMW. I like that part but don't like how it doesn't flow as smoothly with connecting to the car. Ugh decisions. Or I could just save for a J's spoiler for the TSX.

Eric, I put them on Wednesday night and I love them. The damper is set on 10 clicks which is a little stiff but at least there's no epic bounce. I also found out that my axle boot on the passenger side is coming off so I will be replacing the whole thing.

Had to work today so no black friday shopping for me, but, someone managed to T-bone me in the Ford parking lot. He messed up my lower rear quarter panel and dented the bottom of my back door. Im hoping the dent in the door can just be pushed back out but the quarter panel is fucked. Ended up calling the police to file a report and waited 2 hours and they never showed up, so I will be making the report , again tomorrow.

And today I moved into my new place.

So all in all it was a decent day.

Jason - Tyler's high again...Aimgain spoiler.

Bryan - Sucks about the car, but congrats on the new place! The cops were probably busy hassling innocent drivers or breaking up melee's at Wally World.

Bee - Get anything for the TL?

Tyler - Awwww...seriously, congrats!

Well bought another kind of go fast part today. Replaced my 8 year old Beltronics RX65 with a new Escort 9500IX with GPS. Keep those police away. Got it in blue too to match the F gauges.

As I was sitting outside in front of the fire and browsed through facebook, I started crying when I found out Paul Walker died. He must have meant a little more than I thought.

Unlike Letty, I guess O'Connor is going to stay dead.

It does suck, though. I actually liked most of his movies (not just F&F), and from everything I've seen, he was a good person in real life.

I've heard great stories about fans meeting him. He seemed like an awesome dude.

I hate to be that guy, but lets not forget about our soldiers around the world that we lose everyday. Tragic all around.

Yeah the news about Paul Walker is pretty sad. Car enthusiast and fans are taking it hard.

News was saying the driver was doing donuts and speeding before the crash.

Jack, nothing for the car. Waiting on tax season and works yearly bonuses. I need to do some maintenance shit.

On the to do list.

Dvd movie conversion thing
4 Channel amp for my highs and mids.
Brake and rotor kit
Roof spoiler
3rd and 4th pressure switches, I have that's just sitting around.
Re tint windows, and it never ends.

Been spending too much money on guns and knifes.

I think someone was talking about that detector the other day. Oh yes, it was Mahler. He said he will probably get that one.

I actually will be returning mine now. I love the blue display but it is no reason to keep it when I found out it contains the same horn as my current RX65 does. The only other feature it has is GPS to block out false alerts. It also doesn't protect against instant on radar which after asking some questions on another forum yesterday appears to be the favorite choice of NCHP and CMPD. So I will be returning it and trying to find a good deal on one of those since mine doesn't do instant on either. Sucks cause the others won't really be on much of a sale and cost close to $500. Then again if they last me as long as my current one has $500 over 8 years to save me tickets should be good. I have gotten more tickets in the last year than I had before so it proves my current one just doesn't have new enough tech anymore. And no slowing down isn't an option I like to think of.

Tyler...congrats again man. Glad she said yes.

Jack... can't wait to see what the part/s are that you ordered.

Jason... I got lucky on Wednesday driving back to Durham on 85. It was a record shattering run and I did it in the lexus which doesn't have a radar detector. Had a dark blue Tahoe sitting in the middle near the Greensboro section and then 4 ncshp chargers working in a clan near the truck stop in Mebane.


Evan... I like that guy's style. Everything he does to that car is amazing.

Thanks Eric! We are both very happy

She's already driving me crazy with the planning though. I just told her I had two requirements: an open bar and a cool car to drive away in

Da ring:
