Well I picked her up 45 miles south from where I live so you bet the freeway ride taking her home I let her loose a little bit.

As for the repaint ... I am just color matching the cladding. Matching the paint together won't be a problem. Several of my friends have done theirs and has turned out okay.

Hey, I got those Brabus door pins for my initial bid of $19.99!

It's funny, at first I thought they looked cool, but $20 seemed pricey. Then I researched more and found the cheapest anyone else was selling them for was $60-$100. Now I'm happy to spend $20 on them. Funny how perspectives can change.

Chris, is that the car that was selling in San Diego?

that's what I mean, I had no idea what they were worth at first, like when I was trying to buy yours, now I feel pretty retarded about it. But hey, I got a killer deal! I also just bought the chrome surrounds from a member here, so I'm hooked up now.

Oh, It's DEFINITELY faster than the M103 motor. I just added some K&N filters today so it can breathe alittle better. The OEM paper filters suck!

After I detail it I'll post some more pictures. I'm still waiting for my blacked out avantegarde grill to be done.

By the way Matt, got the DVD. Thanks!

Trust me, I have no patience - well it's better described as no attention span and an inability to wait - but really, Brett's parents are the ones shipping them and he doesn't have much control over them so I'm cutting him some slack.

I am dying to get them...
