No stay in the safe confines of the parking lots!!!

In all seriousness I'm with you, I admittedly have a bit more to learn about the car but I expect by the end of the year mine will at least look pretty cool

For me drilled and slotted is a bit too much bling, I like mine just slotted

$200 (for all 4) for the ones I got (so ******* sexy!) u dont even know ask DOZER and RENESIS , and $145 for the E-Line ones that JAY AR has. I have the premium ones from R1concepts.com! Let me know if you are interested and Ill call him when you are ready!

Edit: they have just slotted/ or just drilled or even OEM style.

With regards to the bushings issue the BEST solution is water in a spray bottle mixed with dishwashing soap! I can do a full 2 car exhaust swap in 30 minutes with a 14mm socket, 10/11mm socket, 2 jack stands, and an oe jack :D

IMO not many 8's here are *show worthy* A few years back there were some socal 8s that did show (laz1, Sam, perhaps a couple more?) and there are a couple norcal 8's that currently show (Carson, T-Rex) but currently the pickings are slim for socal show 8s. You guys should sign up for Nisei, a friend of mine should be showing his s2k and I may grab a spot. I'm still undecided though

lol @ tilt

Honestly though - i do agree with you - but have you been to some of these shows recently?? i mean...holy crap...there's people with unpainted kits showing up to HIN and Spocom for gawd's sake...it's terrible - i once saw a BONE STOCK 88honda hatch showcasing his sound system...which STILL SUCKED.

what we believe is show worthy and what's ACTUALLY getting into these shows seem to be completely different.
