also, i may post more pics of my calipers tomorrow, like close-ups and stuff. or i might get lazy and not. whichever, it's not like half of you guys won't see them this weekend anyways. oh yeah, red vinyl is on the way. i guess i'll post pics of that as soon as i get that done.

Looks good man! I am hoping to get mine done this week some time now that I'll have a couple days off.

[skatamatic]

looks good. by the way, i'm really mad right now. on the way to school just now some car or truck (couldn't even see where it came from) decided to sling a huge rock at my winshield which has resulted in a nice sized chip that is really noticable. and also on the subject of annoying crap its gonna cost me at least $60 (maybe more depending on whether or not i need more piceces than just the wheel well one) to get those under car plastics replaced. and also my new crappy transmission is in and i'm not looking foward to having it. sorry for the complaints, i just figured i'd share all the fun i'm having right now.

[ShaffeRSX]

damn, cody. things just aren't going your way lately, are they? but hey, cheer up, i'll let you drive my car this weekend if you want. :) don't worry though, things can only get better from here.

[cbr600drm]

That sucks cody! I already have two little chips in my windshield, and I haven't washed my car in a month because I've been working so much. I'm going to wash it today because its getting embarassing. Michael, do you think the vinyl will come in before saturday? If so I can go ahead and meet you sometime to buy some from you. You can give me tips on painting my calipers too. I think I'll do that tomorrow.

Micheal your calipers look good, Wow Cody you have alot to complain about but I have good news, I was talking to a cop this morning and asked if Underbody neons were illegal he said they were legal infact he likes them he said the only lights that arent legal in Georgia are blue lights and Strobes, I think I am going to show at HIN and get a Yellow Neon kit for my car now that I know they are legal.

[ShaffeRSX]

thanks for the comliments mark and duncan. duncan, i'm pretty sure that the vinyl will be here before saturday. i'll post when it gets here. also, if you plan on meeting up with us on saturday why don't we all do another install day? we can all red out our turn signals and we'll all help you paint your calipers. mark, are you sure that red lights are legal? i always thought they weren't, that's weird.

[2kgtx]

Well red lights may be illegal but Neon's are all legal and my understanding was that if there under body color doesn't matter

[ShaffeRSX]

laws are stupid.

[skatamatic]

that's cool that those neons are legal, i still wanna get some. oh, and one better thing happened to my car today at least....i finally got that water out of my spoiler. haha...that was a very strange problem. i kept hearing this water sound from the wing whenever i closed it and noticed my trunk had gotten a little too heavy lately. so, i decided to drill a really small hole and out leaked a steady stream of water for a good 7 or 8 minutes. oh, and i also got my cool sparco shoes in today. they're pretty cool, i'll be sure to be rocking them out this weekend.

[J5ISALIVE]

When you all meeting at the Atlanta Car show. Maybe i can come :) I hear the Mclaren F1 will be showing its gold plated engine off :)

John

[ShaffeRSX]

i could take him.

[skatamatic]

i think we're halfway planning on friday afternoon, if enough of us can go. i know for sure me, barry, michael, and jerry will most likely be there. plus i have a coupon for $2 off on friday :). if enough other people wanna go on saturday instead i might go again then but i really wanna go to the andretti show and kill my tires on the skidpad.

[cbr600drm]

Cool. If I do anything Saturday it will have to be in the morning. I found out today we are leaving the shop at 3:00 to go to the airport.

Oh and from what I understand the only color lights you can have on the fron(forward facing) are amber or white. It would be good to know about the sides and rear.

[skatamatic]

speaking of colored bulbs, i managed to stumble across those chrome colored blinker bulbs that blink a different color (i think i was telling you about these a while back duncan). there's a bunch of them at http://www.xtremewhite.com./act_home-searchAction.cfm?search=visual
but here's an example of what the orange blinking ones look like (they also have red, clear, and blue).

[cbr600drm]

Now that I'm off for the rest of the week I may go with you all friday. I told my girlfriend I'd spend the day with her, but she may be interested in going to that. She wanted to go to Lenox Mall to do some shopping so maybe I can take her shoping early in the day and then go to the car show.

[2kgtx]

Those lights look sweet, I wouldn't mind getting a set for my Blinkers I hate the look of the Amber reflection

[2kgtx]

Duncan this GF you are talking about is this the same as the Ex you were talking about last week or so, or is it a new girl all together Just Curious

[cbr600drm]

Same girl. The one I dated for almost three years in highschool. Things seem to be going really well. We just havev a lot of fun together.

Cody, those bulbs look cool. I'm waiting on the clear corners I ordered so maybe I'll order them and get rid of all the amber on the front. Then the back will be redded out so the ugly amber will bo gone.

[cbr600drm]

I thinkn I am going to order some bulbs. I can't decide what color though. The red ones would be good for show, but they are illegal. I could get the amber or the clear ones and be legal. What do you think?

[2kgtx]

I go with Legal, I hate giving cops the ability to harass me

[skatamatic]

hmm...kinda tough choice. if they do actaully blink red that might be a little risky, however it would probably look cool. mine look blue but still blink clear, and i've only been told by 1 cop that i need to take them off (which obviously hasn't happened yet).

[cbr600drm]

I think I may just get some cheap clear ones for now and maybe get the red ones for show later when my car is more modded. It would be cool to turn the hazards on at a show and have them flashing red.

[2kgtx]

What size turn signals do we have anyway I looked it up and it says 1.4 not sure about that, I thought that was the Peanut size

[skatamatic]

they're 1156 single end
(here's the rest if you ever need them too: http://www.teamunison.com/cgi-bin/go.cgi?/tech/lights_external.html)

[2kgtx]

Cool thanks
I want everyone to know at 2:30 this morning I finished my last paper for this semester now all I need to do is study for my finals and it's back to work for 4 months :)

[Coolwheels00]

Thanks for the link Cody. Those are sweet.
Your calipers look sweet man. I need to do mine, my hubs on the rear are starting to rust. :(
