Well can you take a look at it tomorrow. I don't know if I should do it, or leave it to professionals, lol. Since its an exterior pieces, i'm a little more cautious, than I am with my engine bay, lol.

Oh yea, and the xbox 360 does support RCA.
If they didn't they would lose tons of business.

Thanks. Yeah I just called them up. Miami, florida woot.
They said about $150, and turn around time of 2-3days. Which sounds great to me.

Depending on what you guys think of the curb rash on my wheels, I may or may not take it there.

taking the 360 might not be too great of an idea cuz of all the ppl that are going to be there at the show, right? besides, it would be kind of hard to play inside of the car, lol

We could always turn denny's car into a convertible again, and we would have tons of extra space ^^

Cool. Any place local I can pick it. I'd like to at least have them cleaned by sunday. Even though it won't help the curb rash. Well at least it'll be a clean curb rash

Ok so this is my first set of aftermarket rims. So here are some n00b questions, that I need answered, with as little sarcasm/bashing as possible, lol.

The lugs on set of rims I got, are they called Tuner Lugs?

Where can I get Silver/Chrome, maybe gold, lugs?

Any brand name in particular? and does it matter?

When I lower the car with the coilovers, will I need to get something to fix the camber/angle on the wheels?

For a smoother ride, are chunkier tires preferred (not the width, the distance between rim and the edge of the tire)?

Also, the dude who sold me the rims, said I need a 60 Torxs/torques tool to screw/unscrew the lugs. It looks like a Hexagon, when I look at the lug. Is that the correct name of the tool? I need to pick this up as well I'm guessing at sears.

I tried searching, but no one, seems to give a straight answer. I have to weed through all the BS posts. Blah, lol.

hey guys i'll have a DME engine torque damper for sale soon, its only a few days old.

its pretty badass....i love the product and how nice it feels but seeing as i live in my car for work, i just cant take the added vibration/noise, its driving me nuts. i COULD put some rubber washers and dynamat the strut brace but honestly if im gonna take all that ____ apart again i'm gonna just take it off and spend the money on something more useful for me (like new shocks/struts). this is more suited for you guys with boost and that dont drive 200 miles a day.

like i said, a few days old, practically brand new.. im looking to get $120 for it ($160 brand new from NST). PM me or post here if interested you guys can check it out at the meet tomorrow since its still installed on the car.

Ok guys, i bought the Forge Splitter and its installed. I had a few runs with it and it seems to be holding boost good but its hard to tell because of where the boost gauge is so im gona need someone elses help. I may switch back to the 007 IDK yet.

But it does sound Niiiice. If i put back the 007 the Splitter will be up for sale.

The ingalls stiffy has the same issue. I still have the sound, but it has definitely diminished a looooot over time. I think after I broke it in =)

There is a thread on how to eliminate the majority of that annoying sound. Let me see if I can find it.

The problem with the megan c-pillar, is that I messed up the threads, where the bolt is supposed to go on the frame of the car. Which has officially initiated me into the Stipper Club, as Pete and Johnny have so nicely pointed out to me.
