    Since it's a month long event, I hope you'll supply some of the beer :

    700 miles is a little far for me. Does APR have plans to come to any events in Texas?

    So I am thinking about going from Stock straight to 2+ with the free installs and sale pricing! Should I call to setup an appointment time?

    Arin,

    Any chance your sale extends to those customers who cannot attend the event?

    I've got a small list of items i'd like to buy (intercooler/hpfp).

    If not, when can your west coast customers expect to see your next online sale?

    Thanks!

    I'd come to this event if I could, but oddly enough I'll be nearby for a different event that I'm already committed to on two wheels.

    Still dreaming of APR II+ performance for my R though...
