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.

Chris, you have to let us know if the V8 is amazingly faster than the I6. Your little purchase has got me thinking.....

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...
