wow thats sickkkk like always

I wanna see pics of 32% tint, that seems kinda odd but it could look really nice (and not so dark that you get pulled over)


Do you think someone will give you trouble for the Euro Plate?

if you are running around with just the Euro plate you definitely get pulled over. You can put the CA plate over it however since there isn't a law saying there can't be something behind the CA plate.

Frank lemme know if you have trouble with the US plate install.

You get my email? Since you have the black frame, should be really easy, since the frame flexes.

rofl...that's still a funny pic to me...

I just did mine. I got it on, but met up with MJ earlier...his method learned from Drex is different than how I did it from the instruction Drex sent me...LOL

but it shouldn't come off either way. will see when we have a small meet soon.

brake lines are cheap and good investment tommy. you should get'em too.

anyway, just Dynamat the trunk/spare tire area. hopefully it'll be enough to block the exhaust noise from entering the cabin.
