Haha, what all are you wanting to put on your car that you want help with? I can't believe you have never been to DM. Altoona where Adventureland is is like 30 mins north still. I have a garage at my house if you wanted to make a trip down I am pretty sure me and/or dan could help you out.

the seat slider broke off when they did the fix on the recall for the seat bushings, so it would not slide forwards or back.

the vents tilted all over the place where I did not want them to, and now they are so tight!!!! both up and down and side to side, they are great!!!! also, where the markings are for open and closed on the side vents it used to just be plain, and now it has white markings.... ooooo

I don't care for that, but I bought the Kaminari KTR2 CF wing and I loved it soooo much. I got it off of Samari and it was a peice with scratches and stuff so I sent it back. How much are you getting it for? You might want to find a shop that can do the paint first I took it to my shop and they said if painted it would leave a paint edge where the CF starts in the middle, if you want pics I have some real up close ones. Otherwise go for it, I am about to get some motegi M7's 17" from this guy in Flordia for $150 plus my SI rims.....My rents think I need new tires and they know I am broke from college, so they might help me out

I know a bunch of people have the altezza or RS grill, but I advise aginst them. thats what I had first and it got totally warped fromthe sun. it was so bad I can not eve explain it.

only other grills for out cars I have seen:
-simply taking out the grill, possible putting in mesh (loos like ***!!!)
-fiberglass openmouth grill like I had, vary rare and very hard to find
-other grill, I think from tusnami(sp?) looks like this, but not attached to the bumper

well, that sucks. I guess I won't be doing that, thanks for the advice also. About your car club, is there a joining fee or anything or what do you do besides meet on the loop? Can I get some details, I would like a group to drive around with sometimes....

its kinda complicated right now... I think it will be better in the spring. Im not really with them anymore since I cant drive. I hang out with the guys alot, but... I dunno.

we dont just "meet at the loop" all the racers(or ricers) meet down there to do some street racing. driving around in circles for hours is gay!
