i've thought about that... but if i did, i'd want the entire kit... then i'd want wheels and of course an exhaust. then i'd need to get it lowered.

what better cause then ones self?
craig - that statement in your signature "America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed. -Eleanor Roosevelt, 1936". It can't be a direct quote, I seriously doubt that she used the word "badass" in 1936.

HAHAHA. it is from the opening sequence of "Talladega Nights". it appears on the scrren before the opening credits. i was watching it on TBS the other day and thought it was hilarious that they opened the movie with a fake eleanor roosevelt quote . I am supprised it took this long for someone to mention it.

plan would be the front and sides first....then the mtech with a black diffuser.
That will look good. The M Tech rear definitely completed the look on Roy's car.

So i just paid some bills and checked my balance. Higher then its been in atleast 6 months. I am trying to resist the urge to buy the front bumper and side skirts from umnitza. Please help me hold my ground and save my money
This is like someone walking into a bar full of drunks and asking if they'll help you stay on the 12 steps. Good luck.
