Default Tomorrow is the big day

Seriously... Could this day drag on any longer? Tomorrow i get to slap on most of everything i've been collecting for my car. It's gonna have a fresh feel and look im effin stoked. I really wanted to get the led mirrors on at the same time but i'll take a drive to vallejo and let CL member 77i9 teach me a couple tricks in the proccess.

I dont know how u guys with boost, paint, body mods could maintain while waiting... I was fine till the moment i called to set the appointment.

I know the feeling, this is the time of year I start getting the car ready for summer, waiting on my led mirrors to get painted and a couple parts to show up in the mail, patience is a virtue!

There is no way i could sit on stuff for a year without puttin um on. I'll def update with pics later today. After all this is done im getting the medallion exhaust then try not to touch it for awhile. Im prob gonna have um shave the rear just incase. And Kyle... I timed it so that i'd have everything in order before just before spring. I put on the depo led tails the other day without the resistors... I know they'll last longer with maybe i'll plug um in today.

Why didn't you just get coilovers instead of the $$ you spent on springs and shocks?

I've always had coilovers in all my rides except the mercedes ... And once they were set i never changed the settings. So for me coils are pointless cause i dont change the height ever... Thats since 1997. I am going for the exact ride that this combo will give me.

... She's up in the air right now wait till u guys see the original caster arms lol
