Damn man, I was gonna ask you if you wanted to meet up for lunch or something today... but I just dropped off my car at BHBenz to have them do the recall and check the coloring of my bix's (they were saying that they were going to charge me if they find aftermarket components etc... 
)
Next week or even Sat we should meet up for a bit and take some pics, I want to see it in person!

Nah, my cuz's car is a pretty out of hand looking Galant. One of the nicest looking Galants around (if not "the" nicest in L.A.). I'll probably have collective pics of all our cars (EVO, Galant and My car) pretty soon. Just waiting for Reelax's car to get completely finished and out of the shop.

and i'm going to visit my car tomorow for final inspections. it better look nice since it cost almost as much as an AMG! i should have been smart and just bought a benz like you... costs about the same to mod for crying out loud (at least the route i took).
o yeah and OZ's are gay! and i wish i never gave you the idea to color rnatch them (cuz now i wanna color match my wheels, jerk). i should have tried to convince you to get chrome!

After that, most likely body kit.

Since it's been a while since I've posted in my car thread, I thought I'd post a couple pics in here to see how my car has changed a little from 1.5 years ago.

A lot. In order of what I plan to do:
1) Headers - not Kleeman or Supersprint (already paid for, just a matter of timing)
2) Body Kit - It's in my "future mods" yahoo page (Just depends on how soon I have the extra cash to use)
Other mods may come in between (depending on cost), which is why I'm considering what you pm'd me rlee. Only problem is, I have other things to deal with that I need to put the cash toward.

New performance product for my m271...
So I haven't had a chance to share this with all of you, cuz I haven't had time to post a thread. I installed a new part that showed gains on my car (I have the dynos to prove it). This is the only one I know of in existance and the only one made for the m271 (w203). For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a bored throttle body.
