so, im torn. i have the cash, but im a cheap ***. debating on what dampers to order. tokico blues, kyb gr2s, or skunk2 streets. damnit, i cant decide. must order some by monday, any suggestions? really need some input from you guys. already have adj coilovers, and the skunk2 shocks come with a shorter rod for lowered cars, but the reviews on them suck, and they are more expensive than the tokicos. budget is no more than $350, and that is still too much. gonna put my brake MC on mon or tues. shocks on when they come in. new head unit when it comes in mon, tue, or weds. found my paint too, hot rod kustomz vanilla shake. gonna get a tiny bit of pearl from a website called www.paintwithpearl.com just to break up all the flatness. was gonna sticker bomb my center console, but may do my sunroof instead. i hate it, but that may jazz it up to tolerability. thx to everyone who is staying tuned, and now that im using google chrome, i should be able to upload pics easily (die internet explorer, you fukking communist). so, pics to come from my newly rooted droid soon. sorry for the lengthy update, just need to chillax cuz i got a lot on my mind with my baby girl being born soon. this is like a flippin support group lol. cheers everyone, gotta be up at 430 to be at the racetrack tomorrow. gonna sip on some sweetwater ale and hit the sack'ola. love u guys. i feel all lovey today lol.

attached are two pics of where the BMC is leaking and eating my engine bay paint, and also a pic of my dismal engine bay. hopefully, i will have the valve cover milled, painted, and some nice new adjustable cam gears soon. just gotta sell my paintball stuff.

edit: advice for all you beer drinkers; dont post while buzzed. you will be amazed at what poor grammar and spelling you use.
