Those wheels look great, James! I'm so glad you and Justine found a local shop that can bore them out for you. I knew it wouldn't be a problem. I'm looking forward to seeing them in person sometime!

Steve and Levi, you guys suck. Come on, share! What are you guys getting!?

I'm a little jealous... I want some new toys to install. (sadbanana)

 

[thejeans]

evan, you should get that spoiler lip you asked me about way back in the day.... lol

and the only reason steve knows what im doing is cause he saw my post in another thread... he only has a small idea of what im doing...

evan youll more than likely get to see it in a couple of nights haha

My lips are sealed. Might want to delete that post, tho. lol

Have any of you guys worked much w/ vinyl before? I need to install blue batmobile reverse light overlays & that black roof vinyl. But I've never worked with vinyl before. If you guys have expertise, I'll bring them up with me to the cook out... It seems easy, just a matter of being patient. I just need to get a squeegee & some fresh razor blades. (dance)

Evan, did you see that GB going on the under body braces for MZ6, MZ3 & Proteges? I would swoop some of those pieces up for sure! I'm gonna try to get the ladder brace & lower tie bar, for sure!

 

[thejeans]

bring it, ive done tail light overlays and some interior pieces as well...

 

[Lewis7789]

Yeah, I'm still on the fence about that spoiler lip. I'd have to paint it to match or else it would look silly. And I can't justify spending $50 on something that doesn't really do anything... But yours looks so damn cool it always sways me to buy it.

Hope you come out thursday then, hopefully some drunken RockBand will be in order some night as well.

Steve, I've got razor blades and a squeegee at work, plus Phens heat gun and I've got buckets of patience. Just make sure Levi is sober before he starts on it... Ooooh, burn!

Lol, cool. I may attempt them before I come, but my extra time is few & far between for the next 3 weeks... So I'll probably bring them with me.

ive read it too. lol. levi is just going to have to find a new interior scheme.

or deal with not being the only 1.

you will have to change every week, because someone will just copy you anyways. i liked the plaid.

I've got 4 yds of blue plaid, flannel fabric awaiting some free time (probably this fall/winter). I'm roughly 80% copying Levi, lol.

 

[o0n8]

alot cheaper than the gt spec gb, but it all looks the same to me

 

[Rockin03mp5]

be different and carpet your new wheels in plaid!

i liked the plaid but it got old seeing it day after day....


and im still doing it, i did too much work last night to turn around and tear it out today just cause someone else has it... i just liked the thought of being unique... but if you think about it i still am... black car, olive drab wheels and then that will look really good....

Yeah- I saw that in the P5 thread too. Good prices indeed. I might pick up a front strut tower bar but I don't really see it adding a noticable difference than the stock bar. That 4 point chasis bar thang is sexy but I just know it would hit my exhaust and rattle and drive me coo-coo-banana-crackers. I LOVE having a rattle free car right now.

Why don't you pick up some pieces, bring them to the cookout and let me test fit them on my car. Haha! Just kidding, mang.

I'm interested to know what "that" is, although I have an idea of my own.... Can't wait to see it!

i get a rattle w/ the gt spec 4 point chasis bar but it's not too bad. got my eye on the rear strut bar for the sedan but not sure it would really do much. the base of it is just has the one bolt and it wouldn't be seen anyway or would take away the cover for the rear shelf.
