[scans007]

Yeah, funny thing was.....the swifts were the first thing I actually purchased....for some reason I HATE installing springs.....I make no sense, Turbo swap....no problems.......springs, avoid it like a plague....:dunno:

THANX man.......

[scans007]

100% Until I got this a few months ago.......whats a legacy? :lol: FSXT is the perfect fit for my needs, and my addiction to mod'n

The swifts will go on once I get my ars in gear installing the audio, then I'll have the trunk pealed apart and access won't take any extra effort. :D

[jonny-rockets]

[2mprzya]

Thanx man!

You ever play ladderball or monkeyball......(they are the same thing). We are putting together a huge tourney at my parents house down there, I am creating a website and we are getting all the details outta the way. It's gonna be huge.....I'll fire you the info, gonna be a blast, food, booze, prizes, raffles...open tourney so bring as many teams (of two) as you want, can stir up. Still working on team costs entry will be less $20 per team.

[RobE]

that sounds pretty sweet. LMK when.

[scans007]

^ Date is gonna be June 21st, teams of 2 we think entry will be about $10 bucks per team so it's hella cheap.

All are welcome! I'll post up a thread once we nail everything down.

and Thanx all.....=)

Stereo and such are go'n in this weekend, plus a skid plate and radiator shroud :D

[scans007]

Well I had a little time on my hands yesterday and finally got to it and spray painted plasti-dip all over the ugly stock crap.......it looks SOOOO much better.......enough boring stuff.....

[2mprzya]

sooo hot! much better! any plans for the headliner?

[Kevin]

looks way better. I want to do this. let me know how it holds up.

[2mprzya]

i've heard awesome things with this using plasti-dip. i just have to find a weekend i can pull everything apart and then leave it out to dry.

[unsakred]

same here, i would love to do that.

[scans007]

Yeah it's amazing, honestly I only let it dry for a 40 mins, 2nd coat....1 hour and starting installing it. I knicked a few almost completely dry areas.....but just shot them again.

Stuff is amazing, and super easy to spray on, dries really quick

I thought about the headliner, but really your eyes never make it up there....if I find a cheap-o solution, I might entertain it.

[2mprzya]

fabric dye

[jonny-rockets]

permanent marker.

:lol:

[scans007]

Subtle-solutions (http://www.subtle-solutions.com/1.html) - Radiator Shroud and Alt cover......This stuff is just so nice, so well made, not even a millimeter off anywhere...it really is impressive......best quality I've seen for parts like this in a long time. And Brad is an amazing guy.

Anywho....I have plasti-dipped my caps also
