Did you at least get a comp'd calendar?

Nice, brotha, very nice.

I really wish we were able to get up to the top of your parking structures for pics. Even the old pic you took on top of the DTLA structure was dope. And the ones in Vegas.

Impressive. But, the real question, is did they ask your permission to use that picture in a calendar they are profiting from?

yup, both of them did.

I know an IP attorney who wouldn't be too happy if they didn't

so for you guys that aren't on Facebook, here's a new mod...

I've been itching to do this for a looooong time. I originally wanted to paint the doorhandles (I hated how cheap the black plastic looked), but I figured this would be easier and more cost effective.

I got a 12"x36" sheet of 3M-DiNoc from eBay:



Then, with shears, a hair dryer and a box cutter:



It's not perfect, but it was a good first attempt:



I'll take some installed pics tomorrow, the rough edges don't show up as much b/c of where they are relative to the door.

thanks, John!

as for the steering, splinter and I are most likely going to meet up this weekend so we (most likely he) can diagnose what's going on.

Looks great, Phil.

Time to dig the extra set from the closet they've been in for the past 4 years and finally get to this mod.
