But what the city doesn't know won't hurt them...as long as your neighbors are cool with it and don't report you.
True......i walked into down town grand prairie construction office and inquired all i needed to know........

I even found out that i can have up to a 450 square foot cemented permanent foundation additional garage to my yard if i wanted to........electricity is fine, but no water or sewage (they are trying to make sure your not making a single family zoned home into a multiple).

thought about it, but not sure at this point...

I was pretty skeptical at first, but I saw them on Tony's (Jotech) car and I was convinced lol. They look a little better in person. Its hard to get the light right lol. I use a longer shutter speed the light is too intense, but if I use a shorter the car is too dark.

They aren't as bright as they look in the picture. The light from the headlights is actually the parking light not the low beam so you can kind of gauge the brightness off that. It's actually pretty hard to photograph a picture of a light and still get some detail out of the car lol. As far as I know they are legal. I know a few people that have had them years and haven't had any problems.

The gap was left there intentionally as the next sign im getting is a "Texas State Parking only" since i have the A&M one at the end, my wife wanted her school also. That sign is only sold in San Marcos, so im getting it the next time we travel to San Antonio.

Check it out:

tony's car is just sick as is, either way, I'm considering this, but did yours use individual LED's, or a strip of somekind? my only complaint with individual bulbs is that they can be seen individually and that kinda turns me off about 'em.

So how does one that worships Tanner Foust as a driver, write a thank you letter to him without sounding gay?

They do use individual led's which I totally get where you're coming from I feel the same way. There aren't very spread out like the ones with like 3 led's. So you can see the individual led's up close, but at a distance it looks like a single strip. I will be at the meet next wednesday so you can check them out for yourself

No no, you can add white or amber lights and reflectors to the front all day long. It's the other colors that will get you in trouble.

This issue of DSport with his Scion on it, a post, a program from one of the formula D events, and another poster. I would hook you up but this was a surprise from my lady friend at the time, and she went out and got everything framed etc.

gay or not... i wouldnt mind being tanner foust... besides the fact that i heard he is really short. I have my neb question of the day though... any help would be appreciated. Here it goes.. My car is out of alignment pretty bad, the camber is really whats off bc of the drop. I did have it aligned after the drop, they couldnt get it to factory spec obviously. So my question is, I know that they make adjustable camber arms, but would i also need to purchase toe bolts aswell? or can i get back to factory spec with just the camber arms? Im assuming they are an easy install so i may just grab some to do at the tech day.
