wow, helping the team out with guaranteed flack from the wifey! nice, AJ! (although, mine let me come to your place on our anniversary...guess we have understanding partners!)
the time doesn't matter to me, so long as i can sleep in until 8 or 9. i can brew coffee while we wait for lee's car to cool down (shouldn't take long in this weather). and.... we'll have to pray that there isn't a ton of snow!
should we make it the 29th? no big deal to me at all.

I decided against the HFCs for now. I've heard some nasty reports of noise/drone/hissing so I decided to hold off until I hear it with the stock cats.

28th works for me actually. I already told Jess and she is cool so long as I am back by a certain time. I can do the work myself in that amount of time.
I say we meet at 10am..Lee needs to get there at 9:30 though to let the car cool down and get it in the air....
Wow no HFC's OR TP's its going to sound pretty much the same I bet...
Quiet nonetheless...
Young-thats a nice front there, you are going to match the paint, or go black front???
Either way I bet a black body kit and fron would look good...then again I like multi colored cars if its done right.

Young Jee(Z): That's bad a$$ looking! Are you going to have the emblem area filled in? I have the Nismo V2 and the emblem indent is filled in.
Congrats on the nose. Look forward to the final results in the Spring.

Some people are complaining about it being too loud with 18" resonators and stock cats.

that looks SWEEEEEEET! not overdone at all!
have you thought of a carbon fiber roof overlay? that would look sick too, and you wouldn't have to get the roof painted (then again, i'm a carbon phreak! lol)

looked into the overlay, but backed out becuase they wanted $400. Plus the front lip will be painted black so it will flow nicely with the matched roof. thinking about re-powdercoating the wheels some sort of black or darker color as well.

That will look money
Personally though I would swap out to black wheels if you are going to do that, but hey thats just me.
Lee-most peolpe definition of too loud and MY definition are too entirely different things... If it does sound that good I might have to buy one myslef...thanks for being the Ginny pig for me..
I will be there, but we should have the guys we are working on show at 9:00 so the cars can cool down.

Hey Scott, Toss me some directions for Monday. I'm headed out of town tomorrow but I should be able to check the thread. I kind-of forgot I have a conference call at 9:00 but for the most part I won't have to really participate.
If you need to get ahold of me for some reason 248.721.4861 is my google voice number.

ok guys.... lee's 370 now sounds BAD-***. he, AJ and i had a little install party at my place, and were able to put his new fast intentions catback system on... we were going to install new front and rear sways too, but a stupid stripped out bold on one of the toe-links kept us from finishing.
lee - give the dealership hell... that's a bunch of BS on a brand-spanking new $35k+ car.
AJ - love the cube. i think that's on my wish list before it gets cold next winter.

I started writing up a long post and about half way through Chrome crashed. I guess I'll just post the link to the pics/videos.
Pics and videos
AJ the cab video really didn't turn out at all. You couldn't hear the exhaust at for most of it.

Nice Cube AJ. It's hip to be square.

Scott, glad you like the cube man.
Let me know if you are going to get one I will have Jess get you her discount. Its not that much on such a cheap car but hey everything helps!
Sorry I had to bail on you guys but had other engagements to go to.
Lee-give the dealer hell man...that was some serious BS
