Of course I do. But you callled me out, rem?! Wait- I think I recall you saying you could beat me bc I'm a girl driver, or something to that nature. How 'bout we swap cars and I beat you that way also? ~sticks out tongue again~

Mine looks that way- lower in the rear. I guess that's due to the lower profile of the wider tires. I've actually been asked if I lowered the rear. Roger does it not feel kinda funky w/diff springs in the front & rear. How does it feel turning, etc. Bouncier?

I wasn't talking to you. I'll still win. You drive like a girl.

I'll let you take it for a spin. Every car handles different when your not used to it.

Taking the bumper cover off was simple (I had never taken one off before, so this was a great learning experience). I'd be more than happy to help.

Wait...haven't you already done some performance mods?

The oil cooler screens were so simple to install it's not funny and look soooooooo much better than the cooler fins.

I can't really tell a difference, but your pictures are at different angles. Hopefully we can get a chance to check it out tomorrow.

Yeah, I'll definitely be out there tomorrow. I really hate my UNO school parking decal. It throws my car off sooo much.

Toeknee,

I must have missed it somewhere, but what suspension set up are you using? The drop (and car) looks nice.

Rodger...think good thoughts for me. I have a line on a part that I want at a really great price. If it comes through, part of my part is yours. And that's all I'm sayin!!!
