[QUOTE=ЯX-8;2469692]I've been thinking about getting a R Magic lip for now, what you guys think? I already have some R Magic eyelids, and Seibon TSII hood which is a R Magic replica. Might look good..

This kinda bugs me....

I like it, it's pretty simple front lip kit.. Here is a better picture:

I don't think you'd offend anyone, if anything you'll make them go blind! J/K But, it's good to hear that you feeling better..

The lip looks great, definitely interested in maybe getting it. Haven't decided 100% yet, but we'll see what happens..

As far as my car goes, it runs. It has a brand new motor in it with only 4,000 miles on it. I got 2 of my wheels mounted and balanced on the new wheels, I just have to wait until Fri-Sat. to get 2 more tires and get those mounted on the new wheels. Besides that, I just gotta get my alignment done, register and insure the car & I'm done! I need to get all this done by end of the month.

Which B-Pillar's did you guys order? The all piano black or the one with the little chrome rotary logo? As soon as I'm done fixing my 8, I wanna order the all piano black B-Pillar.. It's like $50 plus $5 for S&H, right?

Welcome!
Thats B.S. man, get the fan mod, run some premix, use 5-W30 oil and keep an eye on your oil. Cant go wrong.
Hope to see you at the In N Out meet.

Sigh... nothing fun to do here in SoCal besides running canyons... but I'm not down for that anymore ever since I wore down my first set of tires in only 6 months after I bought the car.
