Good luck, Corey.


So I'm thinking of our next meet. I'd like to cruise in and around Minnetonka, maybe go have lunch at Yumi's Sushi in Excelsior, just hang out and look for cool places around the area for pics.

Les do this. Had sushi for breakfast and dinner the other night and am in need of moar. The rhino liner lip is a solid idea though that **** will never chip and probably look pretty good. That or maybe wrap it in vinyl to protect it. you could prob just wrap yours up and it would look alright Dave.

Not the whole thing just on the lip would look nice a I've seen a civic that was completely rhino lined it was pretty hideous. As for sushi Fuji-ya happy hour is the best!

Yeah they say the price of the motorsports package is 299. But if you want to see what you are recording you have to buy the lcd bacpac which is 80 bucks. Then get a good 16gig sd card because the go pro wont do anything without a sd card in it and it doesnt come with one.... And that was another 60 bucks...... Sheesh.

We need to talk soon and discuss this in person. Can you send me a link via PM to what you've seen? I'm interested in this.

Parking isn't too bad usually on weekdays a bit later at night which is when their happy hour is.

Here is a pic of the s14 with the carbon fiber vinyl wrap and the rhino lined lip.

The hood being and hatch being wrapped that is not the lip but I'm sure if you wanted to vinyl wrap the lip it would be less expensive not sure how easy it would be though

well I FINALLY pulled the trigger on a set of wheels for my evo.

against my better judgement I went with 18's. I didn't get the CCWs. after much debate I decided I didn't like the look of the wheels in the lipsize/offset I wanted to get. I had to get pretty aggressive offsets to get the lips size/style I wanted.

Then I debated on some enkei's like I had on my Z and some RPF1's.... then some work emotions.....

Long story short, enkei RC-T4's became available. Decently rare wheel in the US, so I pulled the trigger.

This is not my car, but not many sets of these around and subsequently, not many pics availabe
