Just download VLC (http://www.videolan.org). They have a Mac version and it plays practically everything.

The fist song is by J. Ralph titled "One million miles away". His prob one of my favorite artists right now but isn't really well known so it might be hard to get ahold of his music online. Another good track is "The 6th Day". All of the music I used is listed at the end in order.

Getting a new bumper, whooohoo. Which bumper do you like better, the Auto-bahn or the Auto-ex? I'm leaning toward auto-ex which I think flowes better and looks really clean, while auto-bahn looks good from the front but from an angle the nose looks awkwardly long.

I love the autobahn but I haven't seen too many Auto-ex bumpers. Post some pics and we'll help you decide...

how in the heck do u guys drive in the canyons and still manage to keep your cars so freaking smooth & clean & chip-free?

guess i'll have to get my hood & bumper re-painted if i ever want it to look like that again... <sob> 2700 miles and my car is no longer new-looking anymore... well, only if i put a nose mask on it...

ehhehehehehe, Detrich, you obviously have never actually looked at my hood or front bumper. It is obvious that I have over 50,000 freeway miles on my car.

Chips will happen, but they happen less when you lead

at Xped, the two things I dont like about that bumper is that the buumper rebar is exposed, and over time, will look really bad from rock chips. The other thing is the cut out on the sides of the bumper, below the corner markers. The front view is nice, especially on black though. What was the other one you were looking at?

That pic you posted is from Ebay, correct? The company that is selling that bumper is right next to RaceOn USA...they do a lot of knock-offs.

Just got home and watched the video. Looked like fun stuff with the exception to x-ped wipe. Great job on the video X-Ped.

thanks jimmy. i've tried it a long time ago, but earlier versions didn't work too well- ie either needing a serial or so forth. i'll give it another spin and see how it works nowadays.

EDIT: seems to work for the moment. thanks.

Yep, shineautoproject is a vendor over at rx7club.com and I actually stopped by to look at their work and the quality and fitment is superb, I'd say better than the actual kit.

If I do get the auto-ex bumper I would cover up the openings with black mesh so that won't be a prob. I was thinking about the autobahn also but looks like I will get this instead and save $300 and use that toward painting the bumper.

a little over an hour from there. Put it to you this way: It's almost the exact drive that I make everytime I go out to Malibu...

It'll be totally worth it!
