Donovan,
Please don't take this personal, but I won't be able to make it either!
I was climbing around in my used parts warehouse today and fell and twisted my knee! Not too bad (I don't think!
), but enough that it is swollen pretty bad! I have bum knees anyway, so it doesn't take too much to hurt them! I have it elevated with ice, but it hurts like heck!! I was all ready to help, PLUS I had Emily excited about going! I just don't think it would be a good idea to take any chances. Already had surgery on the other one!! Sorry man!!!

Everything went together well.
The brake lines and pistons are easy.
The DRM ducts took a little trimming to the wheel well but thats what power tools are for
I need about a cup of brake fluid to finish bleeding the brakes
A big thanks to Donovan for all of his help

right!
Well, I think the part I have to come up with is a mold for the special air induction hood and various styling effects you guys have. I think the next time we meet up I want to take some really good photos of all the non-OEM parts. Sounds like a challenge.

A)When a car is parked so often you can really have a chance to get the details.
and
B)It's much harder to see the detail on a car that is actually moving rapidly
