I know right where that place is. In fact, there are quite a few places just like it here in our area.

Now you know why I feel like such a laggard sometimes in my glorified soccer-mom sedan.

It's the opposite for me, Sean. There's money here, but it's old money and rarely spent on flashy sportscars. However, in my immediate township, I'm decidedly in the more blue-collar area. So while it's still almost-urban (meaning not an overabundance of trucks), most of the cars around me are bread & butter sedans. Camry's, Accords, Altimas, Impalas, Sonatas, Fusions, etc. In a broad generalization, there are more domestic family cars west of the river, and more imports east of the river. Every town has a "river" per se. For most, it's the railroad, or the highway.

The curious thing is that my G blends right in with that crowd... if only at first glance. Obviously it's a couple notches better than average, or so I like to tell myself. But you wouldn't know that unless you knew cars.

Um, or unless you heard it first.

This is the same situation for me. I am proud of my G and find it just the right amount of flashy without being obnoxious like those other cars. I love the performance of a super car but don't think I could take the stigmata attached to it. I've gotten complimented on my car several times by people who know cars and don't but in the end I really enjoy my car because its fun to drive.

Is that Competizione in Gaithersburg?

Yeah. I literally live a half mile from there, and never knew that place was there until like a week ago lmao.

I was going to Finishmaster to get some paint for something, and it was right next to it.

the93owner

Great stuff. I'm down that alley pretty often, but never bothered to stop by to take a look. Maybe one day when I have to get some work done on the car and need to kill time

I was eyeing that! We rent out to a body shop and he hooks me up with paint though. He mixes it all in house and then gives it to me and I just spray it on / clear it at home. But this would be the first time having to match paint so idk how that would work. So I did find that site when I was looking to paint the outer edges of my grille. The only thing I'm worried about is the black back up camera sticking out like a sore thumb lmao looks like I'm going to have to photo shop it.

I think it looks great. My spoiler is not a 100% paint match. But, in this shade, it looks fine. I was planning to re-paint the spoiler but I may go a different route all together.

It appears that A sub f is the term they are using for the outer area (in mm²) of the front sway bar and the A sub i is the inner area (also in mm²) since it is a tube and not a solid bar), so the actual calculated area = Af - Ai. Same goes for the rear (A = Ar - Ai).

Awesome! I love finding places like that. My wife and I were out driving around one day and ran across this little shop that had several old Mercedes (including a Gullwing), a couple of Jaguar E-Types, a couple of old Aston's, and several other absolutely beautiful classic cars. Just a crazy amount of money in garages like these!

The equipment alone is probably worth a ton. Im sure they use all the high end tools.

Awe, what a cute pic. I love Rotties (makes me miss my Dobbie), and that Pit/Lab mix is absolutely adorable! Thinking we need to start a dog thread on here. We have one over on the Jeep forum. LOL

Finally got started on my wire tuck over the weekend. Got the passenger's side finished. WooHoo!








The finished product! Just need to do the driver's side now.




Also added nutserts and 6mm SST bolts in place of the cheap OEM plastic bumper clips while I had the front bumper loose.

OMG, you're brave! I've been wanting to do that for years, but can't screw up the courage. Got any details or advice on the project?

How the heck did you remove your headlights without dropping the bumper? Granted, I've not done either, so maybe I'm under a misconception about all that.

Impressed, man.
