$1600? That's how how much my freakin' Amuse was! I'll be on the look out though. So it sounds like your gonna paint your car matte white? That will be sick! Ever thought of doing matte vinyl?

you mean like a vinyl wrap? i don't know if anyone in Louisiana can even do that for me. it's not very popular there so it would end up costing more than repainting. then there is the risk of it not coming out too great, pealing, fading, and everything else that goes with it.

Anyways yes I was talking about vinyl wrap. If you get a good professional installer to do it and you get some good material, it will turn out great. Many exotics car back in the states and here in Korea vinyl wrap their car. I've seen matte red, black, blue and other colors. It all depends on the installer and material. You might be right saying it might be expensive but I'm not sure how much... I was told you could strip the clear coat off your original paint and spray a matte finish. My friend said he is gonna do that on his new M5. I can give you more details about that when he actually does it though.

Put it this way: if I wasn't married, I'd be in trouble. It's like that... especially the further south you go. Up here in area 1 there ain't too much (except some women's college not too far away and a bunch of juicy bars). Seoul is off the ****ing hook and I've heard nothing but good about Daegu. Onlt thing I don't like is the places where a lot of military guys end up. We start too many fights over nothing.
PS: My Evo should be here in like 60 days. Definitely looking to roll out with some people. Gotta find the tracks out here.

Nope, I'm currently in Korea right now scoping out places and seeing how it is. I'm probably going to teach Engish over here in Korea and stay over at my Aunt and Uncles pad in Bundang. If I do move to Korea, I'm probably going to stay for over a year + so I'm trying to bring my Z over. It's only been like 3 weeks without the Z, and I miss it oh so much hahaha

If its only roughly a year, I would probably save the Z from all of the door dings, hit and runs, keyings that normally occur in the metro.

not a GIANT car scene in korea but if you search hard enough you will find them. J use to hook us up with all the local happenings but he's back in the states now. search back a few pages and check out the pics of us at the DDGT a few months ago. NSX's, Sylvias, GTR's, Gen coups, and J's 350Z. they had a little bit of everything.
We were with his friends in Group-R/Team Super Drift.
I was going to bring my Z but the little beater car I just bought has already been hit and run so my Z will be staying in the garage at my house, where it is safe. I still have to buy a new front bumper.... lol

Question for the Military guys here. How much wrestling/submission fighting do you guys train? My Judo school back in WA was near Fort Lewis and we had A LOT of Military guys in our class. Hate to say it but most of the guys were terrible minus one. He always busted up my ***. Anyways, I was just curious on how much self defense training you guys do, I would imagine A LOT!
