LOL I knew people were going to say something about the GF but so far it's been pretty tame... have we all grown up?

on another note how is your Di-Noc holding up in the heat? some of my hard edges are starting to come up even though I used the primer on them.

Wow, the engine bay looks freakin stellar. I love it.

And if you are looking for SRT-4 seats, there's someone on my friend's list on FB that is selling his out of his 1gn. He lives in NC though, so not sure what kinda possibility that is.
