I'm curious to see Patrick, but it's telling me images and videos will continue to serve during this short maintenance. So, I have to wait..

na not really, thats just how it looks with the hood dampers... might try to space it up a little in the front so its atleast even looking. Got my exoticspeed exhaust on today! Does anyone know why when you transfer a video from the camera to the computer its all chopy with the sound? It acts like it is having a hard time buffering or something but plays fine on the camera.

What camera are you using? Most digital camera recording's are gonna sound choppy when you transfer it to the computer. It all depends on what camera you're using.. Besides that, got any updates for me? I sent a PM, but didn't get a responde back from you yet..

lol thats good... i mean, i am yoda... not much i can help about that

i had to do a lot of work on the stupid fenders because they were wavy and uneven as hell on the top parts... they look nice but almost not worth the price for all the work ive put into em.

here is the link to the exhaust stuff it turned out ok:
