I will give my cheap brother credit for one thing.
When we all threw my parents a 50th wedding anniversary party somehow I ended up being the one to handle all the buying of things. I kept a detailed spreadsheet of the entire deal and even provided photocopies of receipts. No purchase decisions were made without everyone being in agreement. After the party my brother asked what he owed on his part, I showed it to him and he wrote me a check right there. That was first class.
My other brother whom I didn't talk about yet took the papers from me, said he didn't have a wallet on him and he'd get it to me. I followed up on it telling him I hadn't forgotten and still need it. It's been 14 months and I still don't have it. Now will I ever see it. He was never going to pay me. The money I have is only because I'm given special treatment. So its OK for him to cheat me out of it.

especially considering I've remember to check it twice since we started
Sounds like the same thing we used to go through. I call ours a gathering of the in-laws and outlaws. We finally put an end to it. Got everybody together, and agreed that none of the adults would exchange gifts. Only buy presents for the kids under 16, and if any of the adults wanted to get a gift for someone, do it in private. No expectations, saves everyone some money and aggravation, and we don't end up with a bunch of crap that we will never use. Buy stuff within your own family and do it at home, but don't expect anything but gifts for the kids at Christmas dinner.

I've always liked the Saleen kit, especially the front bumper. Really the only one I ever liked, would be the only pieces I would add to an LX.

Oh man. I just deleted it all.
I liked the Saleen kit too. I don't really want to distract from the car too much. Sometimes you can quickly over do it.
I loved the rear valance. And the front too. The stock front bumper just isn't low enough. Looks too much like a passenger car.
Now I really don't know what to do.
The stock hood weighs a metric *** ton. I'd like to get a fiberglass if only yo save weight alone.

stock is cool too, especially if your daughters are going to be driving it. just leave it stock, and let them enjoy it

Let's try this again with random internet photos instead of Cervini website photos
^This one looks money to me. Plus I'll be doing the Cobra grille insert too. I love this front valance alot!
disregard the WING
Only look at the front, back, and side skirts. Forget the paint jobs and decals.

I do love this car. I'm afraid though. I could do a Saleen clone.
How about a competition orange Saleen clone with charcoal 10th anniversary Cobra wheels and a cervini wing like Nathans instead of the whale tail.

It's been years! I haven't seen a car like this in years. Not since they were new.
I did like the white Saleen hatchbacks back then.
They weren't so over the top. Simple little fender strip. Yellow and grey I think.
