Very nice Saturn, certainly one of the nicest I have seen. Exeon and brdhouse live in Burnsville. Honda4Life works at Walser Honda in Burnsville too. Most of the guys have fairly stock cars except for maybe a CAI, wheels and HFP kit. Mine is a work in progress.

Spotted a TW coupe on 169 headed north. I passed you, you passed me, I followed you onto 494 and then 100. I wasn't really following you, that's just how it worked out. Again, I passed you and you passed me a couple times.

Car looks nice. I like the fogs and the sunroof visor. too bad about the door ding on your drivers side rear quarter panel.

Thanks man! Yeah, I actually had them tinted at Street Scenes in Coon Rapids last winter. How are things going for you? Enjoying that black beauty (FA5) of yours?

I am thinking about tinting, but it has to be high quality or I will not do it at all. Yours look good.

Let's see, since I saw you I put on some red JDM Honda emblems, looks sweet on black. I put in a machined dead-pedal to match the other pedals. I also got the JDM civic type r shirt boot and knob. I love it. I almost bought some new wheels, but then our oven took a dump and I had to replace it instead. Maybe in the spring.

No engine mods yet, but I think I will let you pave the way so i can see how the k20 responds to NA mods. I keep getting mixed signals, alot of time and money and not alot of returns.

Sweet! Red H's really look good on black like you said. I just ordered the EDM FD2 Type R shift boot myself, lol. Hopefully get it in sometime this week. As far as NA goes, I think eventually I am just going to go reflash because I am getting custom leather seats instead of doing an engine build and JDM conversion.

If you want high quality, then you need to check out DarkDan. He did my car in full metal film. He uses only the best. And he does it cheap. He did my FA5 for $160. And he does the back windows in ONE PIECE. most places won't even try that. He even has a special little tool for doing the tiny windows by the mirrors.

Is that near Minnetonka? Queens? Really now. You from Manhatten or something?

Jon, go to AutoVisions in Eden Prairie. They did my G35 and my FA5. Fantastic job on both cars. Never had a problem and everything is copacetic.

Exactly! That's where I've always had all my tints done. They are the best in the twin cities IMO. My family has had about 6 cars done there, and always satisfied 100%.
