PUAHAHAHHA.... I'm laughing over something unfortunate that happened to me! Thanks Jeffie for confusing me some more.

I'll send you a text or something during the day to confirm. I might have to eat at the gf's parent's since that's like the usual Monday night then. I do want some more pho though!!!

You can do both. we don't eat til around 10:00 since she gets home late.

Pho was made by her mother. We've got extra meat so you get tons of tripe and tendon.

Meh, you ain't sexy when the same 20+ people show up wearing the exact same outfit. Just driving down Rt1 to College Park I passed like 3 other black Zs [and sadly nobody waved--]
Need something new to set myself apart from the heard.

You're totally right. That's why you need to be FI'ed and some custom body kit to distinguish yourself from the other 20+ people!

Yeah, yeah, I know. I just like to take my time [procrastinate] when it comes to car stuff. I don't want to be "that guy" whose car gets pointed at and clowned at meets [ugly body kits, jigsaw paint, blinged out wheels, etc...]

LOL 90% of Zero Gravity don't even drive Z's anymore.

I found a set of shocks and springs from Greg (The guy that helped me fix my fuel leak issue). Thanks though!

Question: My car has paint damage, door dings, scratches, etc. If I add a new front, rear and side skirts should I just have the whole damn car repainted or just the new parts?

And I'm guessing a full new paint job/clear coat is gonna cost me a buttload of cash won't it?

I went through the same dilemma. I had my car for like 2 years untouched. I didn't start modding until I paid off my car. By the time the car was all scratched up here and there. I was deciding if I should go full paint job or just paint the parts. If you really think about it, you'll be more pissed if you get a brand new paint job THEN you get dings and scratches! Unless you're planning on garaging your car for the next 100 years, don't bother with a full body paint job.
