looks good, can you post a closeup of your front bumper, it really looks clean with the removal of all the slats!

Thank you thank you. Yeah for real you need to come down here sometime! We do have an annual big multi-car meet usually in July but we had it last weekend actually. And our next big venture will be Sept 17-18 for NOPI. We usually have a huge group of Lexi going to that. You should bring it down if you get it in time! But of course the NE won't be going anywhere anytime soon like you said.

aliga - The car should be here in about 10days, I'll get some more close up pics of the front bumper

Looks like the concenses is to put on some '97+ side skirts eh? Guess i'll have to track down a set...what do they go for? Hopefully, not too much

thanks again to everyone...

Jay

Daaaaaaaaaaaayem.... looking real slick!

Those GT-C's finish off the car real nice. How does it ride with the HKS coilovers? I'm guessing Hipermax II?

Hmmm...how'd you know about the winter testing incident?! I've been all about more sane activity since that day!! I'm pretty excited at the idea of being able to enjoy a car with alittle bit of performance without the attention of the Supra!!

got_trd - thanks man...and thanks for all your tips and advice along the way. Def give me a shout if/when you get back up North.

8/26 12noon: Car is in Chesterfield, MO....getting here...finally...geez!
