Thanks for the help, Rob. That second auction looks like a pretty good deal but I think I'm going to find a pipe locally just so I can save on shipping. I've also found someone who does CF laminations professionally so I'm hoping he can fit me in somewhere in his busy schedule, who knows? As for the couplers and clamps, they'll be pretty easy to get a hold of so I'm not too worried about them but I appreciate the offer.

I actually haven't ordered the Basic's yet, Gary. I'll be getting them after I replace the rear brakes first. A local shop gave me a quote of $1200 for the Basic's. I'll most likely be picking up a set of Eibach front and rear sways at the same time. One thing that worries me is whether or not my wheels will clear the CO's but we'll just have to wait and see. What kind of set up will you be running with your CO's? Oh, and I ordered a Mattig grille so I'll most likely be painting it Brilliant Silver. I like the way the lower grills are now so I think I'm just going to leave them. Gives a better contrast, you know?

Michael, I was considering getting some tint on all 5 windows after the AVIC but I don't like the cut off line when the windows are half open and I track my car, so... maybe later.
