Tag renewal sticker and a quick scrub. Waiting on my spoiler(rear lip I suppose) and new personalized tag.

Does California count as foreign soil?

Only at your house.

No but it will probably cause cancer, hell just about everything causes cancer in California. Now if someone could just explain why the rest of us that aren't in California always have to have warning labels on all of the things we buy telling us about California's problems.

Tried readjusting my trunk lid since there is more gap on one side then the other and no matter what tweaking i did (hinge to trunk bolts, side bumpers, the two little height screws at each corner) and when it was all tightened back up, it reverted back to the way it was before i messed with it.

I gave up after 45min when I read it takes less than 15.

Put new plates on.

Took pics then removed them and put 'em on my truck where they belong.

Norms GXP front spoiler is costing me a bundle. I just sent out a money order for a used GXP front fascia because I prefer Norms GXP front spoiler over the NA style. Luckily it's the same color as the car and has the turning/driving grills and intercooler grill included. But knowing me I'll probably end up having it re-painted.

Went that route last month, make sure you get all the bracking and duck work behind it as well as it is all different.

You were telling me about that yesterday on the phone. Very cool.

Oh and thanks for the invite to stay at the lodge.

It sounds amazing.

Thanks Critter, I've read conflicting post about that, I understand the impact cushion (can't think of the correct term) can be shaved to make it fit, but I'm still clueless about the correct brackets. I printed off the GXP front fascia diagram that was posted somewhere on here. This thread is so friggin long that's it's impossible to keep track of where you read something.

Course I always could just pull the fascia off our GXP to check what's all involved but that seems more labor intensive than I'm inclined to do (read; lazy)

I don't think I have to be concerned with the brake duct work as this is strictly for cosmetic reasons and so I can buy Norms GXP spoiler.

What?

Watched it rain on SLY this morning.

This is for a NASSM 2012, 2012 Summer Solstice in The Land of SKY theme run Kelu based on the Robert Mitchum movie Thunder Road.

"One Thunder Road scene was filmed in Transylvania County NC near Toxaway Falls was where the moonshine revenuer's car tumbles over and explodes. Another Transylvania County scene is near the end of the movie as Mitchum rides toward his death. One of the sets of cars waiting to ambush him is waiting near where Reid Siding road runs into US64 in the Quebec section of the County.
The car crash scene at the electrical substation also set in Transylvania County, is still there and was recycled into the 1965 cult Science Fiction cult B Movie classic They Saved Hitler's Brain

We hope to have a local production company set up a drive in movie set at the main Hotel.

So,

I don't have much time for SLY t'dey.

There are two brackets that support the bottom of the GXP nose that are crutial. Let me see if I can find the thread Joe posted when he did my nose.

Here you go, I know part number 40 in the picture is one, I think 24 is the other.

Got my pro beam unpacked. Ready for install in the morning! Also, a new, used, rear facia!

Yeah!

Kelu · « **Reply #4348 on:** June 18, 2011, 04:09:33 AM »

Do you know how to install the pro beam? Or you need somebody to do it for you?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #4349 on:** June 18, 2011, 04:29:54 AM »

Do you want to install it for him?
