Well.... I figured since i was ordering the Blitz, I saw the Joe Z was in stock so I figured I'd send that on the same order. Then I asked about the Lexon lip. They had a 10 week lead time on the piece but then he checked and he said he had 1 left. So I figured I'd order it even though I think I should wait. Anyways, here's what it will hopefully look like when I get it.


Here's cathafers car...

Thanks TripleL. Hopefully I get looks and a different feeling from the car. I'm looking forward to the Blitz controller. I think that will make a difference in terms of response.

the blitz will definitely make the car more responsive. i heard the JoeZ intake will make the intake sound a bit deeper which would be good.

the Lexon lip will compliment the car nicely and give it a different look. i think it's the nicest lip available right now for the IS-F. as always, clean car.

does anyone else hate the rain lately? i washed her saturday and now she's dirty again....come on this sucks.

Now I have to have it painted. I wish it came in carbon fiber! Yes I'm sick of this rain. my car is so dirty. JoeZ exhaust next... it's like $1500. Kind of pricey isn't it?? heheh

rain is just as bad as pollen, but now hopefully there wont be a dusting of pollen on the car every day. black is so sexy when clean, but shows everything when dirty ugh.

Yeah.... I'm up here in Andover MA and it's raining super hard out! I bought some the Turtle Wax Black Box. I figured I'd give that a try this weekend. Normally I use Meguiars NXT 2.0 wax. This wax supposedly is for black cars.

I'm with you guys, getting a little tired of all this rain. Just got back from ice cream with my son's cub scout den. I figured with the rain and the ice cream place begin outside, only a few would show... nope 100% attendance, they all showed up. LOL

Depending on the weather and if I finish using that black wax, I may go shoot Saturday afternoon at Goddard park. I couldn't believe how hard it was raining a while ago. I'm up here in Andover MA.

There are tons of great spots in Goddard Park for shots. Actually that would be a great place to end up when we have our cruise someday (soon I hope!). Althought I think someone mentioned Newport which is always an excellent choice. With a fresh coat of wax on your F if you take pics they should be great! please post em up after

Goddard park is nice. i may be around Saturday afternoon, will the car be clean i have no idea yet because i have to run to the bike shop in the morning and get some things done.

i haven't had tie to do a complete detailing on the paint. usually every spring i wheel out the car and apply layers of Klasse sealer on it and Danases wet glaze. the car looks like a mirror. hopefully in a few weeks! but for now every week after a wash i use the Meguires ultimate quick wax to give it a little protection for the week, i must say the stuff pretty damn good.

it Better not rain in Boston tonight or i'll be pissed because i'm going to the Redsox game tonight and i'm sitting 7 rows behind the first base line woot!
