That sucks, did they give you a good reason, although I don't know what that could be?

no but they agreed to send me another set with a return label for these. they are supposed to be powder coated and it looks like they packed them before they "cured"

4theride1's install was pretty uneventful. Car looks good (except for the plate ) !

exhaust does look great!

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here but before i make my own thread i thought i'd ask. my gf's mazda 3 is in desperate need for springs and struts. buying them is enough, i'd like to save the $300-400 by installing them myself. I installed konis on my 8, but by that i mean i watched my brother-in-law do it! if anyone with a lot of experience is interested in the coming weeks/months to help out...i'd of course treat to all-you-can-drink cheap beer and pizza!

well since you are saving up for it..... my honest opinion would be to wait till the months arent so hot

with it heating up like it is lately, our modding efforts will start to decline .... more bbqing than modding lol



oh yeah and strippers, gotta have the strippers

ha ha awesome. i'm sure my gf would like you, and her daughter needs some friends. how old is yours? i can tell you though, i don't think she'll be too happy with me posting all these "you're hot" comments!! might have to go deleting!!!

sounds like a great group, i'll look forward to it.

cella is gonna be 9 next month, but she and i are exact same, we get along with everyone we meet immediatly. lmfao @ deleting, do what you gotta do :P
your gf will feel right at home, we can do food/beer runs while you boys sweat, and we can take the girls for ice cream or something. cant wait!!!
and if you guys end up wanting to stay i will offer up my apt, we have a pool, apt not huge but we can make it work for an overnight, if my sitter is available and your gf is comfy with it we can leave the girls at my apt with sitter and the whole group can go out or something fun after

lol u gotta ask 9k or grungepup on that, i dont know the city very well. i am on northeast side, (closest to heading to austin/new braunfels location-wise). 9k and grunge are roomies and they live northwest side, we are all kinda scattered but not terribly far. it takes me like 20 min to drive to them when there is no traffic.

oh ok, that helps. north-side is better than south-side as far as proximity to austin!!

in 20 minutes you'd drive through austin twice, lulz
