Took the plunge
After my wife told me that I should go for it I decided to drop the car off at the paint shop this morning for a complete color change from Antique bronze mica to Spectra blue mica plus they are going to shave my rear fenders for me, I kept putting it off because I would not have my car for 5 days but wifey said do it.After it is painted I got to call Luis at Carson and order my wald kit ,RMM grill, and some other goodies to take back to the shop to get painted.I took recent pics of what Ive done so far in the gallery Im not sure on how to link them to my post and yea she needs a drop my nf210 and kyb shocks should be in next week. So far my list of mods this month are paint, suspension,ordered SRT intake w/ecu,Wald kit,Pioneer z2 with Boston acoustics 5 channel amp,Boston acoustics component speakers,JL Audio ib124 sub. I love my wife but if she only knew that Im spending so far $6,000-$7,000 on mods and I not even finished so SHHH dont tell!!!!!

The reason is Im on vacation for 3 weeks and I could not wait any longer for fresh paint ,at first I was going to do a Rod Millen kit but Luis at Carson told me that there is a backorder on the front bumper from RMM so I figure order the Wald kit which Luis has in stock on monday and have it shipped to the shop because my car will be done next friday and Im cool with shop owner because my mother was his baby sitter when he was a child ,Im cool with his whole family, the father and the sons each own their own shop so the owner is willing to store my car if needed until the kit arrives then he can finish it all at once
