nice plan Charles....have you considered doing a UG strip in the grill instead of doing black? Matt did it, and it looks great. I would think having it black it would get lost and you wouldn't see it anymore.

:frown: the stripe has so much heritage.....

Yeah I've thought about it. I'm still not entirely sure yet. It might even stay red. It'll be one of the last things I do. (I really should updated the order that list)

Nice list you've got going.

I would love to buy a set of PSS10s too if they weren't so freaking expensive. You need to get some smoked or color matched side markers on there, ASAP.

Yeah its a pretty boring thread to be honest. I mean there isn't any conversation in here. But I just like to update it and keep my project on track.

As my car gets built up and more people see it I'm sure they'll start giving me advice. :)

I'm also more active in the PDX scene than I am in the WA scene so I don't really get to meet a lot of the people in this section.

I'd like to make a trip down to OR to meet some more of the Portland people.

Definitely go with a cat-back, you'll love the sound.
