What's tomorrow?

It's supposed to be ready tomorrow, but not 100% sure. Was supposed to be by today, but told them to take their time if it meant getting it as close to perfect as possible. Gonna place a call to the shop before end of business day.

Drex's secret project unveiled...

So, my car is finally finished (well, the body kit, at least). I have to say, MH-DEZENT FTMFW! Kit took forever to find somebody willing to get it for me. In the end, it was expensive as hell, but worth it to be the ONLY one in North America (that I'm aware of). Expression is the sister company, so the sideskirts and rear look similar.

Enjoy the pics! BTW, these were takin' from my new HTC Mogul. Thank God it has a 2 megapixel camera. Only problem is I haven't exactly figured out how to take good pics on it, so these will have to do for now. I'm sure there will be more pics to come.

This thread will eventually be merged into my "history" thread, so take a look now before I put it on there.

I was tryin' to figure out how to get these to my gmail, so I can upload them to my cousin's computer. Wiring isn't done yet, but came out a lot better than I thought it would. I'll check the text now.

How was the SD meet?

SD meet was good. u'll have to wait for mike or ling for the pics tho...didn't take any. also didn't get around to find photo spot since Ling said for whatever reason the usual spot (the beach he took pic at) was full of RVs and there was events and such.

i'll be holding jose's "CF cone" for ransom btw...

No worries. I figured Ling and Mike would have cameras with them. They always do. LOL

Didn't leave the shop until 2pm-ish. They were having trouble mounting the grille cuz of the top mounts (zip-tie special), so I re-mounted when I got there. And it was hot as hell, so we're not gonna do the wiring till later tonight. They lost the sideskirt grilles, so they had to cut new ones, which don't quite match, but they'll suffice for now.

LOL...That's Awesome. You should charge him handling fee!...HAHAHA...Free meal at The Hat!...LOL.

btw, didn't get your text
