I'm going to be replacing my exhaust as well, except I'm keeping stock cats, I'm tired of my pipes rattling!

Painted sides on a track in the wet, death traps.

Aaron, I had the same problems when my mortgage got sold to Citibank. I never had problems with my first mortgage, but these fools are terrible. Tara kept great notes and records on everything. Didn't help us much, though. I even went to an attorney. He said it was a good case, but the money we would have spent and the time for litigation would have been too much and too late before a foreclosure action.

Anyway, I have no TV so I didn't see any of the race.

Is that the right material to do side mirrors, front lip, and canards?

yea, the 1080 scotch-print works well with curves and non linear structures and whatever else you want for the ride. I like the Di-Noc carbon fiber better though, but its hard to work with if you are doing something with a lot of curves and structural changes. Its definitely more detailed and last longer than the 1080p, but I would only use it on roofs, bonnets, and boots.

Should have called me. I was doing nothing in the afternoon. I ended up biking to DQ with the boys for lunch while Tara was in Hudson. Then I got the boys to weed the gardens with me. Came inside to cool off for a few hours, then went back outside to spend 2 hours mowing the yard. I'm spent!

Do it yoooo; BTW anyone used/know about the Armorall Coating. Its supposed to be a spray on bra ...found out about it in my superstreet magazine. Can be used on wheels and front bumper etc to protect paint and help reduce brake dust; colors are black, white, and clear.

I've only heard about the 3m, orange peel seems to be its draw back but since you have silver I'd imagine it would be hard to see.

Forgot my funny story of the day.

I went to Subway for dinner (love their meatball sub for some odd reason) and when I got there it was completely empty inside. Well the girl working came up from the back and took my order and while she was making my sammitch here was our convo.

Sammich girl: Is that your car right there?

Me: Yeah.

Sammich girl: Ugh, I love those.

Me: Thanks

Sammich girl: How fast is it?

Me: It's alright, its quick but that's about it.

Sammich girl: It would be fast enough for me.

Me: Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

Sammich girl: Well I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one, thats a lot of
money for one of those.

Me: Oh they're not that expensive these days, you can get a used one for less than a lot of new cars.

Sammich girl: Really? I better start saving then, still probably take me 10 years.

Me: Well just save what ya can and don't waste money on stupid crap and you'll get there in no time.

Sammich girl: (laughs) I hope so.
Sammich girl: Would you like some bacon on your sammich....... for freeeeeee???

Me:
Me: sure!

Sammich girl: Here you go, your total is yada yada yada
Sammich girl: Have a nice night and come back soon.

Me: Thanks, nice talking with ya.

Sammich girl: You too, I gotta tell my brother about you.

Me: Oh yeah, why's that????

Sammich girl: He says only jerks drive Porsches, but you seem like a really nice guy.

Me:
Me: Yeah, Us Nissan 350z guys aren't to bad either.
Me: exits stage left.

I wanna put cf vinyl on my cf hood... now before you give me this look
My hood needs to be painted, i checked on re clearing it, but the clear is SHOT, and i don't want a black hood... so i'm thinking of using vinyl instead.... so i am looking for some that is big enough to do the whole hood...

I love going to the gym or working out, but I try not to go that late. IMHO, sleep is more important, and the my body can always use the rest. I just get a better workout that way.
