Cool. I am ordering it this week, Wednesday hopefully. Only thing is doing it at my place is not really an option, so if you or anyone else wouldn't mind me taking up space in your driveway for an afternoon, I would be grateful. We can figure whatever out when it comes in. But thanks for those offering a hand.

Ok, so there is someone selling the Tanabe exhaust in the blackmarket. I was wandering if anyone has seen or know of anyone that has had this and what your opinion is. I know Tanabe makes quality parts, but I am curious about the sound. I looked on youtube, and there are only videos of people revving...nothin of the car under load or moving. Just curious, I got the guy to come down a bit and this will allow me to get some other things I want for the car.

^IDK I havent heard one in person nor youtube it.

XLR8 for sure sounds great. I havent heard an ATLP or RV6 exhaust in person so cant really comment on those.

So it was the master window switch. 2 of the prongs were pushed in so he took it apart and pulled it out. Now it works grrreat.

Yeah I just need to trim the socket part of my taillights so that it'll lock in since the cdm taillight prong openings are closer than the usdm taillights

FYI it takes about 3-4 weeks for it to be at your door. They are built and not in stock which takes about 2 weeks or so then to ship it out if you go with ground service about a 1 week or so.
