I guess I could drive the Jetta (rental) down to the meet, but I can guarantee you the exhaust will NOT sound the same
Take the Jetta! just come to kick it!

AHH, you screwed me Frank! I wanted to hear your exhaust since we have the same engines....man, I won't forgive you unless your car is getting a V10 engine dropped in it, or one hell of a supercharger!!
Its ok, you still get to hear my exhaust!

Damn I wanted to see your ride in person so I could figure out if I just want to buy the mtech front bumper with rieger bumper or the whole mtech kit.
I love the Rieger front. To be honest, I'd take a Reiger front over a regular M-tech front. IMHO, I think the M-tech front bumper looks better with either Hamann or Hartge splitters.

If you're just going for M-tech front with no splitter, I say get the Rieger, but if you're planning on putting the splitter with the M-tech, then either one works for me

Have fun guys!

It was alot of fun, wish you could have come. We are already thinking of the next meet for Thanksgiving break.

It was badass rolling 8 E60's deep

Phil(texphil) took better pics and I think we got some video coming too.

Stay tuned.

Today was a lot of fun. It was greating meeting the guys who have been posting about coming to the meet. It was fun to see everyone's cars and what people have done to them. Good Taste. It was cool to see everyone cruising along behind me in their 5 series. We were getting alot of looks. Cant wait to see the rest of the pics.

Hope everyone made it home safely and have a good rest of the Labor Day Weekend. Wish I wasn't Laboring though.
