when we call or email or whatever i think we'll have to be pretty specific about what we are looking for. I know paul needs an install, who else needs something done? I might be able to convince Alex to wait to install his exhaust there. I figure if we give them a few cars to work on they'd be much more interested in letting us sit in the lot and do our DIY stuff and use their bathrooms and all that.

5. Vudoo4u2 - possibly exhaust/secondaries, downpipes, IC (but thinking I might go to A&L for this....they have hooked me up with so much help in the past, I wouldnt feel right not giving them the biz...)

Here's a thought...

We could do the meet at someones house near the glen, get our trim wraps and vinyl window trims etc, and for those that need the heavier stuff, we could call A&L and maybe have them block out some time for us, and as a group, some of us could drop our cars off for work to be done, then help others do installs etc on their cars, and when we come back to pick up the cars...we could do the diy stuff for those peoples?

I feel like A&L would be more receptive to having a bunch of people needing installs in a single day, and would be willing to work with us in getting that scheduled, not to mention, theyve been nothing but helpful to I know a lot of people on here, and I would be more than happy to give them that business. I know they even have a guy who can come in and do the window vinyls maybe even in a batch if we had a few that needed doing....

anyone up for that? Since we would have to essentially leave our cars with a shop during part install anyways, what does it matter where? just someone close to the yardhouse so we can visit the taps, and seth and I can take pictures of the joy of 200 apple juices on tap

whos down for that? I could call anthony and ask him today

thats fine with me. I mean hell we could do it at my house or yours even, mine is kinda small but we could probably fit like 6-7 cars in the driveway since it goes behind the house... garage is out though, packed up with shit. The only thing is that 1. my mom is trying to rent it out so if for some crazy reason someone takes it then we couldn't do it. 2. A&L is in palatine and is probably a bit closer to alex in buffalo grove. so if we want to be closer to the shop maybe his is a better idea. or we could just see what fall line says and try for there 1st. I think I'd rather just do everything in the lot at the shop anyway, that way we can do some stuff, then whoever is having installs done, we can do theirs in the 2nd round and have some more experience and sets of hands helping.

that works as well, I'll say that theres a big lot in my neighborhood where a large amount of cars could park and we could do DIY's etc all day, and im about 10-15 mins drive from A&L, but I do not have tools, if thats even really important since the only thing we're doing is DIYs...

but yeah, shop lot works well too. Either way really

Scratch my install, going a different route. Also need some money to pay off the ticket I got today.
