Haha, k good. I'm just messing with you Pete. You obviously should do what you feel is the right thing. Just caught me by surprise is all.

Sounds like you want to buy an Evo X!

Warranty - check
Navi - check
Leather - check (MR ed.)
Heated seats - maybe not, but it's over rated anyway...

You might need a few more pennies, but it's still a good time to buy!

Too much coin to spend right now... would have done it at 0%.
I think I just got wrapped up in looking at the the G's. I'm over it.

im starting to think there isnt. so much for my plan..

it just seems like waste of money to paint a carbon fiber lip. but i dont thnk carbon will look good since there is no other carbon onmy car and the wheels are going to be dark red.

The link I posted is the only one I've seen. I think GReddy makes one as well, but I don't know that your gonna like the looks of it. I've never seen the do-luck style in anything but carbon.

You can always put in on carbon and if you dont like it take it off and paint it. Did you find somebody to shave the emblem out?

Matt, I'm all for shaving that triangle on the front bumper. I'm in the process of looking for an VIII bumper to do the same thing. I also agree with Jeff, try the lip out and see what it looks like before you decide to paint it. With your car being white, I think the red will look bad****, and set the colors off nicely.

Chu, I'll be in Bala Cynwood this afternoon. Not sure what your schedule is, but I could bring along the perrin filter and maf adapter. If not, no worries, we can meet up another time. I have an interview at 2:30.
