Houston Newb

Just thought I would stop by and introduce myself. I am moving to Houston in about a month and figured I would look around to check out the 8 scene in the area. I haven't done much recently except for have some punk teenager stomp on my buddy club bumper and destroy it. So I'd like to come hang some day once I have settled in. I troll the forums oftern, but if you guys are going to be out and around in the Katy, Cinco Ranch area, give me a shout and I will come out.
I may also need some help in the near future to install my MS kit that I will be ordering after Xmas from Andysautosport.com. If anyone has any tips on installing the authentic kit I welcome them. Hope to see you guys around.

I will be on the west side in the Katy/cinco ranch area. Fortunately my office is right off the 10 outside the loop soctraffic shouldn't be too bad.

I won't be able to do anything until the end of January, but after that, I plan on coming out frequently.

Sweet, hope to see ya at a meet.

I just looked up the pricing for the MS kit from Andy's and that is way overpriced.

If figured 2900 for the whole kit was pretty good. That's almost 1k cheaper than from Mazda. If you know a place cheaper than that please let me know.

2900 isnt too bad at all really for authentic, if there are cheaper places than it's probably pretty minimal anyway
