What type of filter? On a side note...unless one of my buddies is being an April fools d1ck, He posted on his FB that he's going to be getting an '11 Nismo 370Z next week! Hopefully I can get him to come out with us next month! And I might be having my other buddy with an BO G coupe coming with us next month as well if he's not working.

Peng, just a stock one. Seems like I need a new one every 15k. And that 370 would be SICK.

Tevi, GOD DAM THAT LOOKS GOOD. just loving the CF and white contrast. that's a good job man.

It does look nice Tevi, but I think you're going to have to go with a CF hood now too to make it really match your theme!

Thanks Hossam. My goal is to have sprinkles of CF all over the car without taking it over the top.

Peng_ Don't think I ll add a CF hood because that would be too aggressive for my taste. The spoiler will get toned down and whenever I get some spare cash I'll get the front resprayed to obtain this look (more likely to be next year)

Stoof's car will be legend on here 4sho. Sad to see it go...

Tevi you know i'm loving the spoiler. I hope that guy hooks you up w/ the molding. If it helps or has ANY pull, let him know I'll have him respray my front and have him paint my grille.

Ugh! I was driving down 94 yesterday, and I saw what looked to be a dirty chunk of snow in my lane. I moved over a bit to avoid it, but it looks like I didn't move over enough.

I ran over a softball sized chunk of asphalt just chillin in the road. My tire kicked it up, it made a deafening noise under my car, and then jumped into the air about 6-8 feet behind me. Good thing I had no followers.

I'm definately thankful it didn't put a big ol' gouge in my door or right under the side. Unfortunately, the plastic bottom of the car has a big hole in it now. Not sure what that really is though. Assuming it's some sort of aerodynamic "splitter" of sorts?

Grrrr... that's twice that I've run over particularly large objects in a week. I had to drive to Milaca last week during that snow storm and I totally rocked a huge chunk of ice that a plow had scooped up for me. That damn near threw me out of my seat when I hit that, and i never even saw it.

That's why the G isn't coming out officially until street sleepers have gone thru n cleaned up most of the junk.

It ain't just crap and sand on the roads but the craters too that you have to be mindful of. On a sidenote...C&C was a pretty good showing. All I know is, unless they plan to secure a spot for us, we better be going early to stay together. by 8:30 the "Jap" section was full. There were other areas that weren't as filled though. Saw an F430 there today though

I like Fords.

I wonder how many exitics are actually around here? See a couple Ferraris from time to time but nothing really that blows me away.
