Whats up guys!

So finally, I will be returning to the States on monday!
In celebration, I have bought a few extra parts while still continuing to gather the LS swap parts.

Bought a set of 06+ USDM Tails (my jdm ones never went thru with the vendor, CZP kept giving excuses so I gave up) - thanks spinna

And bought a new pair of these bad boys, that I'm hoping will match the Willow interior very well. I'm just hoping that it wont be too small (6-2, 185, waist 32 - if someone knows, let me know), but from what I'm read, I'll be okay!

Sparco Milano 2s!!!



Now I gotta get the right brackets for them, from what I've read, only the drivers side works well and the passenger one is an issue as it's made for the 350z.

In 2 weeks or so, Im taking some time off work, around until May 15th, so I'm hoping to get the swap completed by then!!!!

For sure guitarrocker I'll snap some pics of the new a$$ and the seats installed in prolly 10 days or so, but the real update will be when the LS is tucked in the bay

Teaser trololololol couldnt help it and threw on the Fast102 manifold (w/ 102 TBody and Billet fuel rails) and valve covers on top of the plenum before I put it away

No progress on G. Heading to California for a week, so none of the parts will be installed in the next few days. Currently waiting on my seat sliders to arrive to order the brackets.

First mod on the Benz! Clear corners. Tried to add LED bulbs but the dash told me I had the wrongg bulbs in there ( very impressive but annoying ) , so I just went with the oem ones, as they match the rest of the headlights bulbs during the day better anyways.

Yea my Audi was the same way.... It always threw bulb codes if I tried to mod things. We sold that about a week ago and got a Volvo, and it did the same thing... BUT I love Mercedes, Auid's, and Volvos. Cant touch them in the market IMO. BMW's I dont like what they are doing with their company... They have a sport model for EVERY car.... So does Audi, but its different.... Anywho Screw the Mercedes hurry up and finishe the Vette 35
