Tj, Scott

I have some real nice polishing compound for that wheel I'll see if I can find it. It looks like a big wax bar but its what the "pros" use to polish up very dull aluminum. Ones a cleaner and the other is a super high polish. I did a small piece that was white and it now looks like a mirror. Good s%*t

Ordered my leveling kit last night, according to Paypal the se;;er has printed a label to ship it out. I would imagine I should see it by Saturday (I hope....)

Rims are sitting out in the garage, waiting on Wiggs's "people" to send me the adapters & lugs, should have them by the 8th or so (I hope.....)

I can't wait to see them all bolted up.

tj i looked into converting my truck to a sport before.... new bumper cover and grille alone are 800, not including the rear bumper cover or paint... in the end ill stick with the chrome. but since you are repainting and stuff, why not do a sport front end.

I have a rather large turbo...its only 66mm with a 4" outlet...that thing is huge at 75mm, a 5" outlet and not sure what footprint that exhaust flange is, but it like like a T-6 maybe?

Angry No more flying for me

I am back in MD finally, got in at around 10 PM last night. After these last two trips home there will be no more flying for me. Last time I got out of the airport (Indy) less than a hour before it was shut down. This time flying into Chicago I was one of the last flights in before it was shut down due to fog. Leaving Chicago we were delayed because our plane was coming from Houston and was delayed due to weather. Once we boarded almost 45 minutes late we were again delayed due to a scale error/computer error. I barely made my connecting flight from Philly to BWI. I had to sprint through the airport to catch my flight and I was literally the last one on the plane, I got in and they shut the door right behind me, barely made the flight. Got into BWI and then to get my auto out of the long term parking it cost $48. By the time you add up the cost of the tickets, the parking, my time, time in the airport since you have to get there so early to get through security, travel time to my house in IL, time someone has to come get me at whatever airport I fly into (can not rent a rental car, too young ), fuel cost for them, it comes out to more expensive to fly and more time consuming also. When I go home the first weekend in January there is no way you are going to catch me on a plane, as a matter of fact I highly doubt that you ever catch me on another domestic flight, the only time I will fly again is if it is Internationally or to the west coast. I am really a laid back person but this got my blood pressure boiling, had to vent.
