Some are on top... I think mine is that white sticker you can see on top of it.
I would bet that it's TJF1. Although Mike's in FL, his build is older than ours. We're all within a month.

Hey, the worst that can happen is it'll go into fail safe mode.
Then, Doug will e-mail you the other cal code tune and all is good.

No way to make out those characters from that crappy pic, sorry.

That other place you showed us, Leo, is still cheaper than 10% off American Muscle's clear corner lights.

"I resemble that remark" is a nifty way of saying "I resent that".
Mine's on top also.

Did you look all around the PCM just to make sure, or even near the floor pan incase it's still there? (hey, it's possible!)

I've been referred to alot of things, but never nifty.

Bill- After looking at some pics of your car I'd like to recommend so future mods for you. I think you should paint your brake calipers, Get a silverhorse decklid emblem to match your gas cap and maybe a ducktail of some sort. Just giving you some ideas since you future mod list needs a little help.

Eh, I'm still on the fence on the whole corners thing. Maybe I'll see a TR with clears with black housing at the QM show this weekend. I'll make my decision when I see it in person (That's my best authoritative response ).

I do see in the pics that it was curling up... how could I NOT pull it off??

If your not blowing smoke up my ace. Then I guess I've learned something today.

I thought about some of that..

brake calipers: If I do, I'll paint them red using the G2 kit.

SHR decklid emblem: I'll have to look into this closer, haven't really looked at theirs yet.

ducktail: On yours , not too sure on mine. I personally like the factory spoiler.

I need to complete my future mod list... where's my X-Mas bonus?

I sent the wife pics of the taillight overlays and she liked them.
Bill you still haven't given me your opinion on them. Ahh I see you also like to go by the if I haven't seen it on a car like mine then I won't buy it mentality.

Don't you just wish there was a store that sold all these mods locally and that they'd allow you to borrow them for a test fit and return with no probs if you didn't like it.

"I resemble that remark!" is a classic comedy line.

From the The Three Stooges. The joke proceeds like this:

(Snooty Rich Lady): "Murphy, who are those slovenly creatures at the door?"

(Murphy the butler): "The plumbers, Madam."

(Snooty Rich Lady): "Well, send them to the servant's entrance. We can't allow rifraff in the front door."

(Curly): "I resemble that remark!"

My initial reaction was that I liked them. I think they're perfect if you're going after the 'blackout' look. I'd like to see the 30% tint on them, maybe that's all it needs, just to take the edge off of it.

Not true on the 'see it first' mentality. It's only the clears that I want to see in person. I've been known to be a Pioneer more than a follower! (not the chicken kind either!).

I just didn't think I had anything constructive to add to the conversation since I don't even know what a "Tuner" is (thought it was fish - or was that Chicken? - my Feeble attempt at Jessica Simpson humor) and I'm not doing the overlays right now. I did put window film on our bathroom windows last weekend and now I'm an expert at that, so maybe I'll just do my own window tinting this next time!

Have you ever thought this smiley looks kind of scary when he has his mouth open? He appears to have the teeth of a K-9

It's a good thing he's limited to TMS only, otherwise...

I just called my grandmothers and had my cousin check if there was any damage to the H-pipe. He opens it and tells me everything looks good no dents anywhere but then says he has silver paint on his hands. WTF? Do they paint them or is he crazy?

(sorry!)

I do recall some some stuff coming off the pipes when I was handling them and had to wipe my hands off with a rag.

I guess you're H-Pipe is fresh right out of the oven!

Y'all...I HAVE to lower my car. And I really want the exhaust upgrade. But I can't do anything until we have a decent driveway and a way for me to get into the garage. My poor baby's been parked outside at night since Sept 2 while we wait for the concrete apron to be poured at the garage. Right now, there's about an 18" drop. No way my car can get in there Also, the driveway is just "roadbed" for now, so it's quite bumpy and I'm already worried about driving the car on it. I would DIE if it were lowered.

Not to mention it's time for new Zaino and the bumper has never been zaino'd. I can't wait for my garage!!!

On the bright side, I'm leaving in 1 week for Vegas Baby!

(I don't know why that made me think of this, but...where's Daryl?)

So is it actually paint or is my cousin having problems expressing himself? Well now that were on the h-pipe topic I have a question for you. How does it sound on the freeway when your going with the flow of traffic? Is it annoyingly loud in the cabin? Just wondering since every so often I drive it from San Diego to LA I don't want a trumpet in my ear for 2 hours. I remember how your's sounded on the street but let's just say you weren't doing everyday driving then. Just wondering how it sounds when your not accelerating.
