So tempting to say something but I'm excercising some serious restraint. Its not towards Ben in the least either.

Updated Mod's List.
Also, installed the J-Pipe & Strut Bar. Hood has been ordered and I am working on something extra special for that rear bumper I bought.

I recall Scott telling you that a few years ago when we were at Skippy's. You're never gonna clean that shit.

Hahaha Tim I do recall that as well. Needless to say a lot has changed since that day. Since I really don't show my engine off all that frequently I haven't really seen the need to clean it. I may just wait until I do my motor swap and then overhaul the entire engine bay. Not sure yet.

Nothing really, just something I started awhile ago. Mainly they are all people or companies who have helped me out in the past with parts, installs, deal, etc. I have no problem supporting people who support me and my hobby. I know they aren't for everyone.

Ah. So long as there was support behind it, I have no beef with it. Although, it does let would be thieves know what you have. Sort of.

Looking good there Ben. I've been looking at those DRs but I don't think they come with a red stripe. I may be going with the DR-19 or 34

I do believe that there was a red stripe version? Check it out:
