At that point you tell here that she can be replaced.

When I get something in the mail, my wife asks how much more power will the car have once I install it..

lol, the car and my bikes were a huge issue for me and the ex. We were supposed to get married last month actually. Split up 2 weeks before.

I was a pro stunt rider so bikes are huge for me. I build engines for a race team, so again, huge into bikes.

The car was just something else. she hated it because when i had free time that's what i did. It bothered her that i didn't sit on my *** like a standard american and watch tv or play all those moronic video games. I haven't touched a video gaming system since ps1 and even then it was just every now and then. I have a ps2 and guitar hero for holiday fun with teh family only.

so anyways, we split. between my hobbies she hated and my lack of time due to being on teh route to being a doctor, she was done. sucks but oh well.

well, my license isn't current. I made it halfway through 2005 season then had a bad mishap causing a fracture at L4 vertebra and my right ala of my pelvis. I was down for 6 months then had to relearn to walk for 6 months and then get coordinated again. whole ordeal took a little over a year of normal life from me.

I still practice and do photoshoots though. sometimes small shows. i love the life but i just can't get to crazy competition levels anymore. Few more years of bodybuilding and hopefully i'll get my national pro card (never gonna make IFBB pro though). so ya, i'm a busy guy...

oh and it was mutal with us. We both love each other but we wanted different things. She coudln't be happy with the life i'm choosing (doctor and all) and i wasn't happy with her not respecting my life and requiring all of my time for her things.

I was the first one to get this kit so I got hooked up good! sickest deal ever. and the quality is OEM ( test fitted them and everything ) I dont want to talk about exterior much on this thread so look for this review in the future, like I said ^.

Vas, I hope you don't have fitment issues with that massive bumper.

The FMIC is large (27" wide), and just barely fits behind the OEM bumper.

Ok, just thought I throw that out there. The driver side (fmic in/out ports) is where it is tight, and the FMIC sits about 2" from the radiator.

good looking stuff.... be carefully jacking the car up in your driveway. We didnt have to do it for the vortech install. But you might wanna invest in some ramps instead. Your driveway is not perfectly flat where we were working.
