I feel the same way. But it is good motivation to get a lot done in a short amount of time, then you have all the rest of the year to enjoy driving the car.

In my opinion the front lip and feed side skirts should be black......they are overkill when they are colormatched with the car

i kinda agree. i think the feed skirts are def overkill in white but ill do it just to entertain everyone and see how they look. but i REALLY like the 99 spec lip in white... makes it look like an aggressive bumper vs just a lip...

ps the stance SUCKS. its so high because the 255's in the front rub. i really fcked up on that one.. one thing i HATE about the 99 spec front is the lip sits so high............. might make a splitter or something to make it appear lower...

next years mods.
REAL paint
fenders.

How is that a lame excuse? Yes there were other cars at the shop, and no I couldn't "borrow" one. I dont see your logic in this comment, even if there were, it is other customers cars... I think thats very unethical to be taking parts off a customers car so another customer could "borrow" it for a tune.... how would you feel if you left your car at a shop and they let other customers "borrow" a part off your car..... Thats a shaddy shop if they do that.
