Thanks man! I hunted all over the country for the lip kit. Found a guy in Raleigh selling his 99 TL Type-S and made him a offer on the lip kit that I don’t think anyone would turn down.

Yeah, we're putting something together for the peeps south of Charlotte. About time we had something down our way

And huge thanks to everyone who showed up. Tyler, Eric and crew, etc. So awesome to see you guys and thank you so much for the support. The first show exceeded our expectations and the turn-out was huge, even with the threat of AM showers (which held off until about 9am). Next event is already scheduled for April 21st (third Sat of every month) so be sure to mark your calendars.

Did not realize you were helping to acutally organize this event. For that I will make sure at least to make it to one of them this spring/summer.

^ Yes... it was an idea my buddy had in the winter and asked me to help. He's really the face of it all and I'm helping more behind the scenes with logistics and social media stuff

For sure. Feedback was great b/c there are a lot of cars down our way and a lot of them do not like driving up to C&C... so they were very happy to have one on our side of town

^Welcome back behind the wheel of a CL! I know it has got to be a good feeling.

She has some new mods in the form of stress fractures on the infamous dash board. I'm probably going to enhance the self inflicted mod by using the cracks as a stencil for black, white, and gray camo.

Yes Sir! It was too close to home to not make an appearance.

Been on AZ for a minute, and have always checked out this thread. Looking to get wheels myself. Any recommendations of good wheel shops in the area? Thanks ahead for any help and hopefully swing by C&C soon. Would like to meet more of the AZ Fam!

I'll always buy my wheels either used off Facebook or from an online source. Most, if not all shops, will charge you more so they can make their money. The wheel that you pay $180/ea online for they'll charge you $220+ because of their mark up. So I avoid the hassle and just have them shipped to my house.

Hey all! I'll be up at GoPro Motorplex this Saturday for a race there with Kart Carolina. If you're in the area, come by and check it out. We have a reserved spot in the front row so we're pretty easy to find. Come say hi and check out some awesome racing! Last race (March) they set a record for number of entries and the weather looks even better for this one... so should be a great turn out!
