There were two dents that were really bad. I actually had to get a small rubber mallet and pop them back out from the inside. The scratches are only noticeable from up close. As for the License plate, you're totally right. Once I go get my registration done, I'm going to get new ones. As far as the cover or the film, it's pretty common in texas to get harrased by the police for it.They had a big problem last year w/people using reflectors to cheat the toll roads, so they passed a law prohibiting anything from covering the plates. It would look pretty awesome w/some smoke or tint though.

Well I managed to beat the rain and get my Torque Damper installed today. So far I think it is my favorite MOD. The added vibration is only noticeable when idling, but it's a worthwhile trade for the Acceleration increase I'm getting. The difference in accel and shifting is very noticeable and the install is fairly easy. The only difficult part is holding the lower control arm in place while reinserting the bolt that holds it. If I couldve had a friend help, it would've been much easier. Anyhow, Here's a couple of pics of it installed.

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything, but thats mostly because I havent had any time to do anything. I don't think I mentioned this before, but i'm getting married in Oct, which is taking up a lot of my free time. I took today off of work though and did a few things that i've been wanting to do.

First, I fixed the short in my gauge wires and now they are working great. I also changed my CEL and Empty Gas lights to blue.

I did get my blue LEDs for my AC controls, but havent had a chance to do that yet.. maybe tommorrow.

Second, I installed my lower rear Tie Bar. This was a b****, because the bolts were so tight andI had to removethemwith just hand strength. Unfortunately I took the car off the jack stands before I thought to get a picture.

Lastly, I finally got around to painting my calipers, and here are the pics:

I think I did a pretty good job, there was only a little drippage onto the ground, but it's an apt complex and I know they don't care.

Hopefully I'll get the blue AC lights in this weekend. I'm still waiting for my AEM V2, so i'll post some more once it gets here
