Default Moving to Cary, NC from CT

Just got back yesterday from my trip. Going to be in some condos off Old Apex Rd. Just over the Apex line into Cary.

Very disappointed that I did not see any of you on the roads as we drove around all weekend!

Move date is the very beginning of August.

Will take my baby down with me but I am wondering do I paint the front bumper up here or is there a shop good enough down there? Thoughts?

The shop I would go to up here is F-40 Motorsports you probably have seen it on the show Chasing Classic Cars. Had work done there years ago and it's held up perfectly! Just worried about the 12 hour drive down how to really protect the front end and if anything goes bad it's a long way to get it fixed after the fact.

Hope all goes well with the move and can't wait to see you out at a meet.

I'd suggest if you got your front end painted before you left to just use painters tape on the front for the trip down. Pretty cheap and very effective

Apex autobody does great work...most of us in the Triangle area use them for paint work

Use painters tape for the drive down. Once you get down here have you considered opting for a clear bra?

Welcome!

I live about 5-10 minutes away from that area of Cary. Glad to have another S2000 guy around! Can't wait to meet you.

Awesome guys.

Blake: I do most all own work but I wish I could get the set of rims/tires swapped over and sold! I don't want to bring them down with me but I might not have a choice. I have a set of ROH Adrenaline rims I want to swap out for AP2V3's. Winter rubber is on the V3's. Would love to sell both the ROH's and winter rubber.

No matter what I will have to look you up when I get down there in August.
