Went topless at lunch yesterday and it was really difficult to go back to work. Topless on the drive home with heater on low...
It will be wonderful until early evening today then rain tonight. Sunny but cooler tomorrow and Sunday.

You guys are lucky to be in St. Louis. I miss going to Ted Drew's. When the weather warms up a bit, drive down topless and enjoy the "Concrete," perhaps the world's greatest frozen yogurt.

Two absolutly great days in a row. Went on a couple of short drives, but my main focus was on the yard. Am leaving for Palm Beach soon for a week. Once I return, we will get the Hills run finalized. Am so much looking forward to it.

Car gets detailed this afternoon when the sahde covers the drive.

Weather looks like rain tomorrow, so enjoy the rest of the day today.

Indeed! Except for the tree pollens, the weather couldn't be better!

Have fun in Palm Beach, 8BALL!

I got the kit's Red & Black at Advanced Auto, just the standard "Dupli-Color" kit.
We are painting the caliper RED and the holder BLACK. Looks pretty good.
We used the cleaner and a tooth brush to prep. We are doing a brake a day and using 4 coats of paint. Were also cleaning my funky wheels!!!

I have gone mod crazy!!! I have a K&N Typhoon CAI & Neuspeed Strut Bar coming. Both are polished. I ordered a Nuespeed battery hold down but the backordered it.

We are also putting Dynamat Xtreme over the entire interior and doors. We replaced the speakers with PPI component ones and a PPI amp. All the wiring, battery terminals and fuses will be Stinger.

Along with the Invidia ehaust it's been quit a month so far!!

What's next?????????

Oh yeah maybe i'll get to drive it someday

Joe

s2kjr --



Sounds like you're covered for now. The fourth coat of paint ought to smoooooth out any bumps and pits very nicely. How did your wheels fair? I have similar "markings" as the wheels were exposed to Minnesota winter road salts for a couple years without a whole lotta TLC.

Pretty much a dork when it comes to stereo stuff, here -- but all the names sound cool. I guess that means the system is too!!

If you're still looking for more popular mods, try some new wheels and some lowering springs... some body kits... carbon fiber...

rehile,

NO MAS, NO MAS For a while anyway

Wheels are on the list for sure. Mine were pitted on the inside but look ok from the out.

I've got a couple of real small dents. Have you ever tried Dent Wizard??
