Hmmmm, not a bad idea.....Can't you get those things made at a copy store like Kinkos. Anybody know the going rate for those?

Maybe we could all find our favorite pics and grab a month...maybe by birth month or something (I get June)

Damn, but then again, maybe I'll just make a 12-month calendar all of myself

Spiceboy, here's the pic I was talking about, with the stock rims powder coated the dark grey color that matches the lower lip on the MS kit.



Cesar, I need that info when you have the chance. (just a reminder cause I don't know what you remember after that Logan's tea)

Maybe a small grouping on each page, depending on whether that jacks the prices up or not, since the add said "starting at 19.99. Yah, I agree it would be hard, especially finding one that is current and good. I know I have a lot of pics I love, like my raceway shot, most of my malibu shots, and the famouse Twin Peaks fog shot.....but all of these are without my rimzos..... But I do have a couple good ones with my rims, mostly from our Crestline cruises.

I know Speed and Cesar may have a difficult time choosing as well, since the autocross event alone had several to choose from, and then there are those snow shots from last year.

If 12 people were interested, then maybe we could set a date, and this would give people a chance to get their rides out with their digital cameras. I know I have lots of pics of other people's rides as well, maybe I could post a couple of my favorites of their ride.

Or, maybe after Christmas, when we all have a chance to get on, maybe we could have a day devoted to one person, and everyone could search their files and post their favorites. Like Monday would be speed day, Tuesday, big boy day, wednesday snow day....and so on. We could all vote on our favorite, have the person vote on their favorite of their own car...or we could even invite some of the forum thugs in...and we could make a poll for each page. That might be fun...and it may give others ideas to do the same. (but we all know that our group is the best)

Exectlant idea i concur...I got dibbs on March..we will have to do a 16 or 18 month calander with the number in our group and then try to still throw in a few group shots. Maybe like you said we should set up a set of days to do voting, seperate thread as well. and if we are that quick have it ready for the auto cross event.

Nice to meet the the whole Zoo Family.
Nice to see Chol again.
Nice to see another sticker kit looks great, gives your interior more color!

I will get my pictures up later...if they are worthy.

It was great meeting you all. What a nice group of people. And you were right Krazie, no one bit. But I did see some kissing going on.

I'm looking forward to next month. Hopefully I get to race soon, I'd love that. Although, I hope I don't become the new cone killer. Actually I love that picture Speeddemon. Anyway, thank you all for making me feel so welcomed. It was a lot of fun.

dash kits

nice dash kit install speed...

one thing that comes to mind though, now having seen all you guys get these dash kits installed... i think i would've first taken some time to study the color coordination of different make & model high-end luxury sports cars with 2-tone interiors. (ex: bmw z's & m's etc.) reason being- a LOT of thought goes into those designs. and, by looking at them u can see how the right amount and placement of color elegantly enhances the look, without the "rice" factor... don't get me wrong, the dash kits u guys bought look great. but, objectively- to some degree- it's color overload. i think from a design-standpoint, sometimes less is more. and if u guys selectively chose which portions to put the stikers, it would've looked even better- rather than just installing the entire thing.

looks good though...

well the 3 of us did choose BOLD colors. We didn't use ALL pieces. Snow, and Kwescott both did not use the center radio parts, (and other pieces to). I chose to use the radio part, but did not use the glove box part like they did.... so its really up to you on how BOLD or mild you want it. I personally am a bold, look at me type of person. some people want to make you look to see there mods, some people dont like ANY mods whatso ever. but yeah like you said, you can choose what parts to put on to meet your style

also need to add that you need to see them in person. the pictures give you an idea, but when you see it in person, it really makes a big differance.

If you are interested in a LESS BOLD kit, Kwescott has the samples for you.

l


ike everyone else said Zoo, it was nice putting a face with a name. and your Family is very nice and plesant to be around. ........ and who did you see kissing?!?!?!?!?!?!? was it Kwescott and Lesper4? man those two never stop!



Krazie, your nice!

Takers....for going back to Beryl park and getting some pictures of your rides below the lit tree.....

Lesper, those Black and whites are awseom. Are those submissions for the calendar? I know that one of Speed is awsome, but I think it is going to be hard to beat the snow pic he took when we were up in Big bear...or maybe an autocross pic. Oh man, I'm so fricken excited about a calendar...more so to see everyone's submissions when we get around to doing it.

Who's in on the calendar.
