Pic 4 - On the tint violation stop, he also gave me a warning for no front plate. His wife must have made him sleep on the couch the night before or something. What a waste of his time and mine. Oh well.....

Before photos - When she was just a baby. No front mud guards, no exhaust finishers, no strakes, no clear corners, no tint, no clear bra and no exhaust. She's come such a long way. :D

Last baby pic. Thanks for checking out my photos. Hope that you liked them! Please ignore the mess in the garage. I was getting ready to put out all my x-mas stuff that afternoon.

Absolutely beautiful... love the yellow!

Much appreciated everyone!

Sean - Nothing special on the grill, just soap, water and the spray on wax at the car wash.

L&L - That would be fantastic! Think I could squeeze my 8 into my carry on. :D

Xdeed - Hopefully, if I can get a hold of Jason, I'll be heading back over to the RX8Store to finish the dyno runs this weekend. We'll post the results then. Until then, the RX8Stores' Magnaflows are a rumblin'! :D
