Well, I finally installed the carbon side grills that I ordered. A little scary cutting the hole, but after a lot of thinking and letting my B's grow really big, I did it. I used a small air saw but found that i still needed to trim a little more and so I had to switch over to the dremel tool.

Not hard, the saw worked great on straight sides but did not want to turn at all. Maybe a smaller baled might help. The dremmel did the trick but you have to go slow and be careful because the dremmel will can have a mind of it's own!

I will get some wheels soon, I just can't decide which ones. Another member here has a simiar color scheme and with the black wheels and all I just can't seem to get it out of my head that my finger nails should also be painted black. that car looks possessed to me...
