My best friend/best man

i showed him the part i wanted on Yahoo auctions and he got his wife to order it for me. then i paypal'd him the moneys.

This specific transaction took abnormally long though (It was bought in February). The guy had a lil' Yahoo Auction scam type thing going. he'd put things up for sale that he didnt have. he'd get the money then go looking for it. this grille apparently took him an extra long time to find. So yahoo auctions had to get involved. any who he found it and my boy got it and shipped it to me.

I've decided to only get things from Yahoo Japan Auction STORES using the "Prompt Decision" option. to alleviate any hold ups in my future purchases of Japanese goods.

Man, don't know how I missed this thread for a fellow Georgia LS owner (oh, I know, it's the new screen name!!!). I saw your car at the Import Alliance meet, but you weren't around. I was thinking of bringing out the LS to the meet, but I brought out the GS instead. Oh well, there's always next time. Nice progress thus far. That new grill will really make the front end pop!!!

Wow, loving that new grill. Front really pops now. Can't wait til she gets a fresh coat of paint. I see you've started prepping her already. Who are you getting to do the paint job? I have a buddy that did my SC and LS. Lemme know if you already don't have someone lined up.
