Well the alphabet guys, JPM and DDM arrive late Thursday night so it depends when they get up I suppose, but JPM is supposed to start on my car at 7 (yeah like that's gonna happen) so I would say sometime after 7 most likely.

Hey goat, how did your pride and joy turn out with JPM's install.  Shoot a picture if you get time.  What else did you have done by DDM?  Didn't think there was anything else to do.

Wow I am still tired, worked for 3 and 1/2 days, and got stuff by JPM that is such a huge improvement, a gauge pod for my new boost gauge from DDM, and a ton of sounddeadening, thanks to all who helped especially the plumber. New rear speakers with bass blockers work! They add so much it is surprising, the new sub still needs some tweaking but much deeper and lower bass and it is tight and clean. Low level outs from the factory system are pretty low, may have to switch them to the high level. I had a great time. It was great to get to hang out with everyone, Spicy you and Simone rock and so does that damn car even if it does have bad juju. Jason you were killing me, and stay the heck out of those Babies are Us dressing rooms.

Along with everyone else thanks to Joe and Dee!

Great Crepe's JPM!

It was a fun weekend, sorry I had to cut it short.  I was there Friday and Saturday getting work done and left some stuff there to do another time.  JPM did an excellent job on my dash and console, DDM added some lights, and talked me into rotors :).

Everyone there was a great help, Joe and Dee you guys rock making this (your house) available for these meets.  Thanks,

It's not Spiky it's Spicy for pete's sake, that front plate is very cool! Even if it did kill poor Spicy's battery from you guys playing with it. Spicette was not pleased.

Well, I can post that MM6 is officially over.  We left Joe's house this morning at 8am.  Lots of cool mods including a new targa top for Dee's coupe which was a cool project.

I know it's been said a million times but thanks sooo much to Joe and Dee for hosting the event and having us over again.  Also, thanks to Joe for giving us the best laugh this year with his amusing Ruby Tuesday stories :D.

Good food, good friends, and good times.  Definitely a trip we look forward to all year long.  Thanks to all our customers that keep us coming back.  We're already planning for the next one starting with Spikey's seats done with pink stripes ;)

Thanks Joe & Dee for the hospitality!  I was not doing any mods, but it sure gave me lots of ideas - now I have to decide which ones to lay down $ for.

Midlife, thanks for the Tiki bar, Hightest was the best, but Jane had her own delights as well.  Goat loved the pork-shoulder, just enough bite to make it interesting, and all the food was great.  Elff, glad to meet another Solstice-MINI household....maybe we'll see you in Philly.   Joe Jr., was helping out lots of people on just about everything. Smartin, prob. run into you in Arlington again before long.  Critter, loved what I saw of your JPM dash.

It was neat seeing the DDM and JPM crews doing things hands-on.

Gotta thank Joe & Dee for the Slingbox UF-LSU game work too!  That, along with the outcome of the game, made for one happy sunnygator.......

Good Cars, Good Friends, Good Food and Good Football---------that adds up to a GREAT WEEKEND!  GO GATORS & GO PHINS!

What a fantastic time.  Lil Goat arrived Thursday afternoon with some awsome steaks for dinner.  I've never seen steaks that thick.  JPM arrived late Thursday and DDM Friday morning.  By the end of Friday there were about 12 cars there.  Goat's car was a "Queen Bee"  as she was yellow and set up in her palace.  There is a photo in this thread.  Goat brought biscuits, eggs, grits and bacon.  We had an awesome breakfast everyday and left over bacon to make BLTs. 

A huge THANKS to Goat for the all the food.  BBQ Mexican style also.  AWESOME. 

It was quite and interesting Sound Deadening showdown as 5 cars were completely ripped apart to add some dead weight. 

NolanB installed his new projector headlights with halo rings. 

TomatoSoup assisted me in the installation of my retrosolutions CCFL 125mm Halo rings.  I finally finished wiring them up Monday night.  Thanks

So much to try to remember, I'll add more later. 

More photos here

Thanks to all that came and helped out.  I've never seen so many work so well together.

Deep - those halos look great!  Nice and bright.  So, now you've got them in, what's your opinion of what it does to the headlight throw?  Especially, does it mess up the low beam pattern/cut-off at all?

Goat - note the double ring effect from the reflection of the one ring.  If you put two concentric rings in you'd have FOUR rings  :devil:

It doesn't appear to have any degrading affects.  I'll check tonight.  Thanks for your help.
