....THEN I GUESS ITS MY JOB TO BRING IT ALL BACK TOGETHER!!!!! I'LL TAKE THAT PERSONALLY 
1. I'll have my G...he// I ALREADY HAVE PARTS FOR IT
2. I'll have the spot for MOD MEETS all ready
3. 0 meets for an entire summer? AIN'T HAPPENIN'!!!!!!!!!!!
...If I can pull it off, I'm actually planning to organize a meet out in Cali too neXt spring in possibly May. I'm planning to take some of my bachelor party, which you are ALL invited to, but we may be doing A HUUUUUUGE cruise and spending a few nights in Vegas, then out to Cali for a huge meet. Been working with a few of the guys out in Cali to organize...and Janik i may have to use you for some of your connections. This may be far fetched, but I liked the idea. The thought of driving almost 30 hrs isn't the part I like to think about, so that may veto that idea...
Also, I have a ? about tires. I've looked into Tirerack for tires for the FX. Just for the save in cost for mounting and balancing, I may go through Tiresplus, not to mention they have lifetime warranty on their tires? hmmmm?? thoughts?

Josh... I'm might be interested in both the tint and LED! How much did the whole setup cost ya with shipping and everything?
And Lance, I'm still kicking the idea around for a while now! It might be too late to sell a car like the G tho! Winter is around the coner! I might try one more time but if I don't sell it now, I might have to keep it for ever! It just won't sell for what I want after this fall!!!

Hossam, I've already come to the conclusion that I probably can't get what I want for my car. This year was brutal for resale on our cars!
Josh can you post some pics of it installed and lit at night from the side? It's kind of hard to tell from your pics. I wouldn't need it tinted since I have a silver/chrome theme going so it was 45 total with return shipping too?
Okay, come one guys...We should plan something and just chill somewhere?! Food/bowling/something...

Lance, have you looked at http://www.tireseasy.com/ I know when I was in the market, they were the cheapest I could find on prices. And if anything, use them as leverage to get it for cheaper locally. That's what I did with my Falkens...went to discount tire and showed them the price and then quoted what pep boys would have charged for mounting and balancing. They ended up matching that and I saved 80 bucks on my rears. Also, I think Sam's Club has really cheap mounting and balancing costs for members so check into that too.
One thing I've noticed is that tire places are pretty flexible with their prices...I've never walked into a tire place and walked out with them not offering me a better deal than advertised if they knew I was a serious buyer and willing to walk without a good deal. Those places make mad money on markup...believe that!

I should get them on Wednesday along with my new tail lights. I'll post some night pictures when I get the corner lights. For now, here is a picture of a guy's G sedan with the same clear corner setup as me:http://i43.tinypic.com/2vsgtnt.jpg

Yeah the guy can run two sets of LED's in each corner light. Top LED would blink with the turn signal, and the bottom LED would illuminate as normal. Do you wanna do it? I'll tell the guy to hold a set of LED's aside for you. Once he runs out of LED's, he will no longer offer the service. It's a good price considering the price other people charge.
SUmmer time rubber i assume?
Yeah $45 including shipping. He does an awesome job. He did my buddy's lights, so I had him do mine too. I don't have my corner lights yet, those pics were sent to me by the guy who did them. I should get them on Wednesday along with my new tail lights. I'll post some night pictures when I get the corner lights.
