You guys don't play nice. So who's all going to the Austin meet? I want to get an idea of how many cars are rolling.

Book the hotel silly fellow. I might be rolling solo so if I am we can split the room/costs. Won't know for sure until in that week. You can always cancel if you book now.

We should all stay at the Holiday Inn so we can party at the bar or in someones room (cough Justin). This way our cars will be safely parked and we can still chill that night.

At least five rooms have been booked at the Extended Stay hotel mentioned in that thread.

You can roon with PIMPIN_TL but like I said book so you're guaranteed not to sleep in your car. You can always cancel without penalty.

Dennis,so far from what ive felt with the 3 days of driving..

This coils are so much better than Type 1s,better steering response,

better rebound when i hit bumps,i dont see my wheels flexing/adjusting

to the road as much as it did with Type 1s when i look in my side mirror.

Only thing i gotta check back now is why my drivers front is -4

when i obviously have them at the same height & i dont have a camber kit there.

I do want to remove my tint but then again i dont feel like paying to get tint redone again. Just dropped about 5bills on a new toy. Still gotta save up for my headers, torque dampner, pulley and new wheels!

Lol my car is looking sorta stupid if you can notice up close.

Front Windows - 20%
Rear Windows - 25%
Back Window - 30%

Im pretty damn sure thats how my tint is right now lol.

Yea i know lol, i got the car with the back windows already tinted but i never noticed that my rear window was lighter then my back windows until the dude pointed it out. Then he said his 20% was gonna be just as dark if not darker then my current back window. I said fuck it just do it, im tired of riding around with no tint in the front.

Has anyone rolled their own, or someone elses fenders before? I will most likely be doing my own once I buy new wheels.

I took a mallet to my front fenders, bent the tabs in and the rest of w.e that was sticking out. Shaved my own rear fenders, was pretty easy! Im sure you can do them yourself

Just read some about shaving and I think that might be the way to go. I'm kind of nervous about having the paint crack when rolling. Shaving also makes a sharp lip, so thats kind of bad too. I'll have to see how aggressive I want to go and decide then.

I shaved my rears and they're not sharp at all. The tires rub every now and then and they don't have any noticable scratch marks from the fenders. I'm gonna shave them down a bit more this weekend.

Good to know. I already have a dremel and cutoff wheels, so shaving would also save me some money over renting/buying a fender roller.

DO NOT use a dremel for the shaving job, trust me! You will thank me later. I used a dremel and went through 2 disc's and i didnt even get a 1inch damn cut. I said fuck this and grabbed my dad's 4 1/2 inch angle grinder, went to harbor freight got 5 new cutting discs in a pack for cheap and went to work on shaving. Angle grinder cut the fender like butter, i can prob cut around 20 more fenders before i have to change out the disc.
