Um I just wanted to bring this thread to your attention just because I know you guys would understand where I'm coming from since we've had discussions about this before.
I am seriously losing respect for DGM more and more. You know I was gonna write some snide little comment on what a stupid product this is but when I was just done I deleted it because I knew I would get into all sorts of silly s*** with it. I mean it seems all there products are just some stupid thing to cover what it should have replaced. How can I make this point more clear let me count the ways.
CF Dash Overlays
CF "Widebody" Kit
CF Rear Skirt
And now this

Are you making fun of my DG CF dash kit? 
I'll kill you.
just kidding
I actually wouldn't have bought it if the stereo shop wasn't picking up part of the tab for scratching my center console. I think it's a nice touch and I get lots of compliments on it.

20. melicha8 <--- haha I see you're in the raffle for the free DGM CF radio pieces(sssh)melicha8 said:
haha but really.. I agree.. DGM is getting out of hand.. those "widebody" things are already pretty horrible..
That being said, I'm hoping to get a DGM CF Lip from a MOCC member for cheap haha, so as far as I'm concerned DGM ROCKS!
Nate, down for a little detailing meet this Sat? I was planing on go snowboarding but I bail out because all my friends are (Unless they decide to go again). Anyhow, I'm planning on do some detailing to the 6, let me know if you're interested 
we can do all three cars including the miata.
I got my windows cleaner, bucket, washmit, dryer. I need to get some clay and wax.

Does anybody have Dan's phone number?
I had the itch last night and had to scratch. Getting all ready for rev-it-up, I went out for a little HWY 128 action at around 11:00 and didn't get home till 2:00.
Just a couple things I noticed when I was out there. You tend to get in a lot more trouble with this car when braking than when not. It seems like my understeer got worse under brakeing than when I just took a corner at speed.
Also a little description of 128 compared to HWY 9 and 237. It's a little of each. There will be sections of 128 much like 237 where it's just twisty as hell and you have to have your concentration and then between those sections there were long windy stretches of road that you can blast through at 60-70 miles an hour. An all around great ride on totally smooth pavement just like HWY 9, I mean all of it just perfect. It felt much like a drift course.
The first part took me out from davis through winters onto 128. There are long sweeping turns and some wide hairpins where you can test the limits of grip on the tires I really liked it. In the picture of the map just ignore the napa part I just used 128 near winters

Here is the second part of the ride. I had never been on this part before and was my main reason for going out. I was thuroughly impressed
http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/ChilesValley.htm
This was the third part. A lot of low speed turns separated by long high speed stretches
http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/PleasantsValley.htm
I got lost in vacaville. I drove over the freeway and didn't even know it(hand).
I almost hit a boulder in the middle of the road. It was about 100 lbs and on my way back when I moved it to the side of the road it took about five minutes
