Default New to CL - Hello NELOC

Hello all. My name is Ryan - from Southern MD; I have recently purchased an 06 GS300 AWD. CL has been a great source of info for everything related to my car. I have met a few members at the Annapolis crab and rib shindig, which was an absolute blast - very nice people who were a lot of fun to hang out with. Looking forward to meeting everyone at future events. Hopefully I can figure out how to post pics....lol.

hey sojah - yes, we met in naptown. your LS is very nice - my wheels are growing on me....lol. i have BC coils waiting to get slapped on; my mechanic just doesn't have the time right now. i hope to have it done by mid august though. may do the LED mirror covers as well as a sub swap. need to catch up with beez to see how easy it went...
if you are interested, i have some LED DRL's that are very bright (at least as bright as the one's you have, and the same color) but do not take the place of your high beam. they are a little too blue for me. let me know...

mines are on a module so not just bulbs. r those ones just bulbs?? i'd like to see them first. u should keep them in ur car so next time we run into each other i could check em out. yeah should complete the package with the coilovers mirror covers (i been thinking about hitting up beez myself about this one we should see if he wants to maybe help us both out together ) plus a sub n some tint. i been thinking a lot about some wheels myself lately, but nothing to fancy this time around. i did the whole sub thing too, it was a must for me, a first and a must.

yeah, just bulbs. they are 1watt and very bright. i have a full boston pro series setup with dual g5 12 dvc's to install. trying to decide if i want to put in just one sub, or the whole system. i think that the ML sounds good, but is lacking in high volume. the sq on the bostons is phenomenal, which is why i still haven't decided. tint is in the works; the shop is right across the parking lot from where my coils will get installed, so i will most likely do one than the other on the same day. if i get the mirrors, it will be sometime late august or early september. we shall see. i'll give you those lights the next time i see you. let me know if you plan on doing the mirrors, coordinating with beez would be a great idea if he is willing...

if you can post the url into a new browser and the pic shows up then the link is good. make the sure link is a www. and not a c:/// desktop/.... link... if this is all good then click on the little picture and overwrite whats in there with your entire link and click post or submit or reply or whatever the button says.
