I'm in for a plane ride! Ganseng, did you put your car up for sale? There's an 05 on craigslist with KW3's and 5Zigen wheels. My buddy that works at Hopkins Honda has also seen this car a few times when the guy has been looking to trade in.

I couldnt tell you if the rear bumper is still avaliable or not, i know that there were only 25ish front bumpers left in primered, none in the pre-painted ones.

Hello Guys,

I just wanted to take the time to let everyone know that we are operating out of our new manufacturing facility in Plymouth and that we can now do installs of our products.

If you guys are planning a meet please PM me the info, we'd love to show. Also, we have a huge sale going on right now in honor of tax returns, go to our vendor section or page for more info.

Let me know if anyone has any questions.

PM or call 612-605-9845(main)

Best regards,

Chris

Are you guys ever going to have an open house at the new facility? It would be great to see your products up close, plus it would gain you some more interest!!

We won't be going on any plane rides, but the guard base has a couple of F-103's and an f-16, a P-51. As well as a couple of other planes.

My normal days off are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, so any of those days would work best for me.

And, I am getting married in a little under two months, which means at this moment I am in the final stages of wedding planning and such. But if we pan it for 3 weeks out, I would be able iron out a plan.

PM me or shoot me an e-mail, as well as post what days would work best for all, I realize not everyone will be able to have the same few days off. Hopefully we can get Drayke (photographer) out so he can take a few pictures.

Let me know what's up! Take care!

Weather is getting nicer and I can't wait to drive around for a little bit. I have a photographer buddy who would like to start getting into auotmotive photography. SO, here starts a list for good photo spots!

MOA Parking ramp (empty level possibly top floor)
Thompson Park (West St. Paul)
Como Park
I could even possibly get us scheduled to take our cars on the Air National Guard base for some photos by the air museum (I'm in the reserves, I can get us into the gate after some forms.)
Bad news... No more Fudderucker's... they closed down in MN... We are gonna need to find a new place to meet and eat.

Also Cars and Coffee is starting around this time.. This Sat isn't it? or May?

That is actually a great idea. I will set it up and announce it on this thread. We will have special deals for that day.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Best regards,

Good news, the Fudderucker's in Bloomington in NOT closed, I JUST got off the phone with them, and they are "Not going anywhere!"

Here is their Location, it's about 15-20 minutes from the other one we used to meet at off of 394:

3801 Minnesota Dr
Bloomington, MN 55435-5861
(952) 835-3833

SO, if we are still set on Fudderucker's, That is the LAST one in MN.

I would like to do it on a Sunday, MAY FIRST? Does that sound good to everyone? Meet for lunch at, let's say 1:00 PM? If anyone has ideas for where to go after that post them, I will look into getting us to that Air museum and chat with my Photographer Buddy for him to come along.

Sunday, MAY FIRST, I will be at the Fuddruckers in Bloomington (last one in MN) at 1:00 PM

Anybody who is interested can meet me there. I will see if my dad (350Z owner) can come too.

Post ideas for places to go for Photos! I will see what I need to do for the Air Museum at the Air National Guard base.

EDIT...
I called Fudderuckers in Bloomington to give them a heads up, the manager's brother owns an 8!! They are delighted to be having us!
...END EDIT

Thanks for the Catch, I know I want to spend Easter with family...How could I have forgot??
