Hopefully we all can meet up in June.

ok so far it's 6/20. Anybody not ok with that date? Billy would it be better for you if we made it on a Sunday or even Fri. night since I've heard you work Sat?
edit: There's an test n tune autox at the GM assembly plant on 6/20, and a autox at Belle Isle on 6/21. Why don't we all just meet at Belle Isle, and if the weather is as good as it was this past weekend, then it'd be an excellent opportunity for a photoshoot.

As for next event, so far it's looking like 6/21 at Belle Isle. We can have a bbq after everybody finishes their runs too!

Getting the mod bug again. Just bought a pair of Seibon CF sideskirts from Gruppe S for $150 shipped. (They have spider cracking in the clear coating but not into the fiber weave. ) I was planning to paint the top half and leave the bottom edge exposed CF which is in perfect condition. They were out of the box damaged parts.
Anyone know what needs to be done to prep CF for paint? I'd imagine some sanding down is needed esp in the spider crack marks. There's got to be a way to stop the spreading of the cracks.
Hard to pass up for $150. That's almost the shipping alone.
I'm also meeting up with another member who has a new Stillen Series I front bumper. He's going to bring it to ZDayZ. I'll end up leaving it with family in Tennessee and they will have it painted for me. Maybe I will be sporting this in July. For $235 on a bumper that retails full price at $600, it works for me.
Good God, I hope I can clear a piece of gravel after I'm done.

Man Brian you're off the chain!! Really nice pick-up on both those items! You're right, the $150 would have been the cost of shipping alone on the side skirts!
Man, I don't know how you find these deals! But if you ever find somebody selling a Nismo V2 Front, Amuse Sides, Ings Rear, or KW V2's for cheap, replica or authentic let me know haha!! (seriously!)
Also if you need clear corners for that bumper i can sell you mine for cheap. Too lazy to put them on.

As for finding the deals, they are here. You just have to take the risk and jump on it. Luck helps too. Almost everything I have has come from another user online here. (Wheels, tires, intake, plenum, trunk spoiler, sway bars, springs, CF pieces, the end links and camber arms (from a vendor here). Only three items came from vendors outside this forum. Much like the folks in Tennessee, "I keep it in the family."
As for the V2 front, you might want to get it from M1. They will ship it painted. They quoted me the Do Luck replica painted and shipped for about seven bills. Not bad at all. I imagine the V2 would be about the same. If I see stuff you're looking for, I'll try to get a hold of ya.
