RIght now I have tires on order thru my boy Nick @ Oakes Detailing. They should be arriving in the next day or two. I've got a place lined up to mount and shave them for me with only a couple hours notice, so it looks like if the stars align I might be able to make it this weekend.

Yes!, got myself working the novice tent at 7:30am on Saturday, and I'm out after the first. Should be home around noon to 1 maybe...

They rolled my fenders for my. He bragged about how easy it would be because the metal is a lot thinner than on BMW's. Then he managed to crack the paint on both sides and I needed a respray.

To tell you the truth I have no idea if they actually were cracked or if he just wanted to overcharge me. He had his buddy's body shop do the work and I never saw the car in between. It turned out to be three times more than it should have cost me.

Anybody interested in attending? https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/no...ugust-8th.html

Nobody here wants to go to ATCO on thursday? There is a nice size group of us going but it lacks dsm's and evo's.

when I get my rims I plan on having the fenders rolled/pulled or whatever is needed to make them fit. I'll be sure to goto someone or place that has worked on the aluminum EVO fenders before so I don't run into issues. Thanks for sharing Willie.

Thanks again for the hookup Nick!

Its a 7, I was thinking of going on Thursday with the vette just to do some "fun runs" and see what kinda MPH it would put down, but I might need to jockey these tires around the West Chester area that day now so I'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

That would be awesome to see the vette run. Hope you can make it out.

Here's a quick vid just outside of work that my buddy took with his Iphone. Just being stupid. It was cut short and videos were edited. Crappy quality but you get the point....haha.
