Gotta finish making the custom grille for the front bumper... got 1 of 3 pieces in. Custom-cutting and mounting material I ordered from The Grille Guy - looks pretty good so far. I don't need a rock hitting anything vital back there and have something crazy happen... like losing my A/C during the state meet!
Got white LEDs in the parking lights on corners last night... those parking lights are pretty easy - I don't see what the big fuss was all about for the passenger side. It's a tight squeeze, but after like three 10mm bolts, you're in there.

Also, I'm not exactly sure what you are making, but you can protect the grill all you want and the condenser is still going to be unprotected unless you fashion something for the space between the under tray and the grill.

Check it - www.grilleguy.com... I think I got the link suggestion from our heavenly father, Lord ET
I didn't get the reflective aluminum stuff you see, click the "upgrade material" link in the bottom left... I got the black powder-coated "RAZR" material.
So what are you saying about protecting the radiator? The grill installed should be enough as far as I can see ... I don't see any way of rocks getting in there now with the grille and the stock plastic on the underside.

Basically what Lord ET said. The old one was worn, it felt, for lack of a better term, spongey. And I liked it that way. It felt like there was pressure on the pedal when I pushed it in and the engage point was wider. Now I slightly put my foot on the thing and it goes straight to the floor. There is no pressure on it at all. Its like I kicked a feather. Then the engage point is not only narrower, but its feels like a huge lump. I know it sounds stupid but thats the best way I can describe it.

Pretty tame. Waitresses were kinda lame this time, none of them stayed to chat like the last one we had. She was so frickin awesome. Brandon, as usual, got razzed alot for being a kid and poor driver, there were remarks that I should take a shower at the meet this year and a bit of discussions about last years meet and the over route we would be using on Sat. Other than that not much else. Oh yeah and there was lots of talk about Joes wreck.

I couldn't blame you the first year... the bathrooms at The Witten Inn were freggin scary (at least, ours was). But last year, the place was nice and clean.
