Sounds like plenty of room for all of us crazy mofos.

And, who needs air tools-lazy man's tool. That is why they make elbow grease!!

He said "Wow (ungodly long pause), it's good to know another language." Personally I think I did very well. So we'll see.

How much notice do you usually need to give?

I'm sure we won't be doing a mod meet for at least 3 weeks as nothings been ordered.

So, they think they are catching up do they . . . . little do they know the power of this group . . .

we came from behind and blew past them . . . we just laid off for a spell . . . but the Texans have awoke and we have pulled almost 100 post on them in the past week . . .

However, should they close within 1500 posts . . . we may need to awaken the secret weapons . . .

I need some feedback from you guys . . . .

What do you think about clearing the lights on my WDP TLS?

I'm also thinking about moding the frontend and relocating the driving/fog lights. And in their place I'm going to open those holes up so I can create a more direct airflow in to my MMIII mod . . .

Then I have more thoughts on what to do next . . . so I need someone nearby that know how to use that photo shop stuff . . .

I think that on WDP, cleared headlights would look just something about a nice clear light with white, gotta it!

Where would you think about relocating the fogs to?? I think that it sounds like a good idea to get more airflow into your ram-air set-up.
