so I would imagine the way the car is designed to take impact is affected, and frankly, for visual effects im not willing to risk that

I hear if you get into a front end crash in a 335 all you have to do is yell "PROCEEEEEEEED" during the accident and your car automatically repairs itself

Vudoo4u2 · 04-06-2009, 11:36 PM

hahahahaha

its real amazing how well that battlecry works

I was racing this dude on the highway and i rolled down my window as I was about to pass him and yelled it at the top of my lungs

if he had done that I think his car would have magically grown wings and taken off above the other car.... then he'd swing back around to do a 'fly by'

Durkin... we missed ya man. The meet on the 25th is gonna be in Lemont (its actually an Acura meet we have been invited to). We're gonna try to do another photo shoot on the 24th (or maybe just the morning of the 25th) since our 1st attempt was cut short by the cops.

Like Paul said, the new lights are the LCI halogens w/ CCFL angel eyes on them.

Hope you can make it dude.

CubanJJ09 · 04-07-2009, 02:28 PM

ha u did wrap like 80 pieces.

dude if you don't wrap it, you'll probably get some kind of VD from Carlos

CubanJJ09 · 04-07-2009, 02:34 PM

at least HIV maybe herpies, depending on the day of the month

What?

IL X5 M60i · 04-07-2009, 03:06 PM

Well I assumed you were getting paid for it! Had I know you were doing it for free last weekend I would have dumped my gf and her stupid family party and made it out...

Those lights are sick seth...

UdubBadger · 04-07-2009, 04:49 PM

thanks buddy... have you done anything else to your ride yet? Get that SSTT? You should look into the stage 1 tune from CStuning. Go hit the last page or 2 in the Chicagoland chat thread, JBone has the info for it and Tony (the guy who does it) is offering a pretty night group buy discount. Best thing of all its just a reflash so no screwing with installs on your ECU.

Vudoo4u2 · 04-07-2009, 07:48 PM

heres my question about the CS tune

if you have their flash, how can you go to your dealer for any warranty work??...you would have to drive to CS to get the car flashed back to stock before the dealer visit, then again after??

Nebster · 04-07-2009, 07:49 PM

no alex, its undetectable completely, so they'd have no idea if they drove it, and even then they probably wouldn't know the difference. at least thats my understanding

BTW you need to sign up for that dyno day. i wanna see how much your car throws down

kyleb350 · 04-07-2009, 07:51 PM

Undetectable until they take it for a test drive, lol.

That is the only problem. They are going to have a tool that you can buy so you can flash your car back and forth. Not sure on price yet? Would be a PITA for some of us who live far away

Nebster · 04-07-2009, 07:53 PM

but even at that point, some of them have no idea
