lol yeah agreed but that came with the car, and have not gotten the chance to remove it. but i will be removing it. I am not a big fan of midwing specially if they are not adding any value, since visually they do not stimulate me.

lol Android is a universal platform or OS that google is developing that will work on any gsm network. T-mobile was the first to sign up with them. So should be interesting

no none as of yet, any recommendations? where to start and what to do.

First thing I want to do is replace the passenger side low/high beam bulb i just noticed that its out today.

Any advice on type/kind of bulb to get?

[Mintdub]

honestly. i havent delt with any vr's before at all... but as for the headlight.. I would replace both of them.. so they match, its going to be difficult to find the exact match inless you remember what you bought last time.. so get 2 new ones... maybe some silverstars. your car takes H1's

Edit: if you replace one.. theother one is more likley to go out. and you will bee in the same boat, lol

I got the exhaust covered and it sounds amazing, its got a Techtonics 2.5" SS exhaust..charger would be something to consider down the line when money is more free flowing

No prob. im going to bed. im on all day. I st in front of a computer for my job. vortex is alway in my taskbar! ,

[one.8.tee]

yea Antone the bottlecaps are mint. Noel gave them to me (thanks again noel) and i completely stripped them to bare metal and painted them with like 7? coats of gold, and then 3-4 coats of clear. I just scuffed them last night, masked, and did 3 thick coats of white and like 3 coats of clear.
