Gentleman Jack & DickW: I got infested by the KP flu "i will post pictures later"  :rofl:
The process is not 100% completed, besides that when I almost finished it was 11:30pm = pictures would be useless.
I will do a new topic for this mod hopefully today I will finish everything about this mod and post the thread tonight.

Drove my car to work with the top down :D Only to be hit by a Gixxer in the butt.....then have it take off.... So now I'm using the opportunity, since the body shop has to match the paint to my car's arse anyways, to paint the boomerang and maybe even order a spoiler to have painted at the same time O.o
I'll throw pics up of the incident when I get batteries for my camera.
Gotta find the good in the bad  :thumbs:
Bummer, what a way to start your day.  Did you get his tag? 

Show pics of the Boomerang too, when done.

I like it Sky 5
We have similar yet different Chrome elimination strategies on our white Sky's

Well Done!!

I unfortunately had my driver door handle break, so today I took apart the door, removed the panel and have it ready to be wrapped with Black Vinyl.

Pat (aka GXPsy Rose) is working feverishly to get GXPsy ready for SMMM7...or should I say, she has me working feverishly! Anyway, a couple of things that she won't let me post...you'll have to be there to see for yourselves. Yes...she is a tease.

Rogue is getting a few touchups, but nothing major...yet...anyway. See you all soon. Is it Thursday yet?

I see I'm not the only one who forgets to take out the garage door opener, and I see the guys I race with aren't the only ones who don't catch that fact during tech.

What tires shab?
That was on the stock tires, didn't run the 275 gsd3's since my spacers didn't come in yet. Surprisingly i think i was the 2nd fastest, although this was more of a test and tune rather than an official event.
I fishtailed a couple times on the street going around corners with the stock tires today, can't believe how terrible they are in the rain.

I see I'm not the only one who forgets to take out the garage door opener, and I see the guys I race with aren't the only ones who don't catch that fact during tech.
Ya i forget about it too, but no one noticed it yet... except for you :)

I haven't done a damn thing to mine in over a month.  I have lighted doors sills and a new WR to install, paint over spray all over the hood and front of the car from a building that was getting sprayed WHITE and a new scratch on the left side.    :mad:

What I have been doing (and Dee) is preparing for MM7.

Work on shed, cut grass and trim at the cabin, work on shed, clean garage (not done), move stuff into shed, move freezer to garage, work on shed, turn on water and water heater and clean cabin, work on shed, change brakes pads on G6 with my son, too tired to work on shed.

Pulled out all DickW wiring for the new stereo and put it in a pile. 

Oh I did run/build/install a long LAN drop from my house to the cabin's garage and setup the wireless access point, wireless internet is now available in the cabin.

Anyone think about murdering their Kappa? I think the Solstice might look ok with the muted look.
