why have someone else install it for you. You need to bleed on your car. Just save the money in a savings account and get some interest built up. That way you can get everything at once and probably get a better discount.

Very true. I didn't think of that... I'm sure if I spend 5-6K at one store they'd be more willing to give me a discount, espcially if I "flash" a copy of my orders to show I just came back from war.

I'm really tempted to get the interior LED lights. Someone over here had some pictures of their SI with them, it's really clean and good accents.

I really do miss my car! I drove a 5 speed Ford Ranger the other day and when I looked at the Tach, I was at 4500 and it sounded like the engine was gonna go boom... The passenger was like SHIFT DUMBASS! no VTEC for me

I will vtec soon for you. wait....no i cant. I have surgery tomorrow and will be installing the s/c over the next few days. i also have to ship the ecu to be reflashed.

If you drop 6k somewhere they will give you a bad ass discount and maybe free shipping. Also we can help you install. you will have much more pride in the car if you do it yourself.

All I have is the Skunk2 70MM and a fujita SRI. I am required to get my hearing checked each year, and they will give me a hard time if I start going def... I have to keep it under 3K or my hair starts to stand up, lol

No, its a small town and I don't want to disturb the townspeople. They might hang me or something. I hit VTEC at least once per day leaving work (our plant it outside city limits).

Now, I really have no idea how my car sounds passing by someone. All I hear when I get on it is this loud deep groan. I can't seem to believe it sounds like all the you-tube video's I see of skunk2 exhaust.

That's why I'm married to Lisa. Her mod list on paper is as long as mine.
