I found Basic Power Plan 6 through Reliant on powertochose.org and am paying 7.6cents/kWh total, ~2cents of that is the provider service charge from Oncore. A huge improvement from the 11.6 cents/kWh I paid before. I'd definitely recommend that site and I chose to stay with a known provider for piece of mind.

Global Rally Cross stats again next month. They will be at Texas Motor Speedway on June 9th during the indycar race. Anybody want to go??

If I had buku money GRC would definitely be my racing of choice to get into.

There is only one guy running a evo this year.

Just over $3k, assuming you have the HIDs, all new OEM parts, and assuming blend to both the hood and the left front door. The fender does need to be replaced if it is buckled in the center. I also can't tell if the fender liner is damaged, so I did not include that.

I can't really tell from the pic if the light can be buffed, but if you're taking it to Trade Secret they won't buff it even if it is repairable.

Usually a repair like that would take 4-5 days. Assuming math from my experience with Trade Secret, you should expect 2 1/2 weeks from them.

if the headlight housing is replaced, thats half the bill. those bad boys run 1500 dollars from the dealer if i remember correctly...

fenders aren't to expensive and paint isnt terrible either.

That's $3k and change for everything, assuming they replace the light with OEM HID (those are around $1300, the Halogens are about $375). I'm also quoting OEM for the fender. I don't know what the labor rates are where you are, so I assumed rates for here in DFW.

IIRC last time I had to replace my HID lamp, there were two prices, $1200 for HID but it included the ballast, or $400 with out the ballast or bulb.
