Loredo will be on the high side for the labor because they will paint more than usual to assure it matches perfectly and that is hard to do on a black car with flake (not that we ever see your flake , J/K).

Last time I checked BB didn't have flake lol. I figured laredo would be a little bit more, but that price difference just doesn't make sense. The fact that they said it was a "preliminary" estimate makes it seem like things might be fine. I'm guessing they at least missed the unibody damage which is a fairly significant cost.

Ok so I spoke with the owner of AmeriSigns.... I have an appt in the morning with him to go over some fonts and what not for the decals. I need to know how many of you are seriously interested in buying one.

So far we have come up with 2" by 12" in metallic silver, if you dont like the color let me know now. I am going to get a quote for atleast 10 of these made, if we need more I need to know soon. So please post up if you want one

so I think you and JIM from OK. are going to be the only people that are more modded than me performance wise... You got me beat on the Rotors, BHR ignition, Cobb AP tuned by MM, fuel pump(not exactly sure if it helps too much as the OEM can fully handle fuel needs until FI, assuming theres not a problem with it and fuel starvation), Fluidyne Oil cooler (does it cool much better than the 2 OEM oil coolers?) Koyo Radiator and the Endlinks... I gotcha beat though for the Intake and Rear strut bar, plus that cooling from my Seibon hood helps a decent/somewhat amount

And I suppose exhaust because you only have the Magnaflow tips... Jeeze though id love to get the BHR ignition kit and cobb AP tuned by MM soon... whew... not enough funds though, I got a major speeding ticket that im waiting to see how much it costs... :/

Yeah man I get help from the DFW crew, it seems the SA crew is a nice tight group as well, that's good to see as there's not many people out there that love rotaries like us

As far as mods I don't trust dealerships as who knows if the guy that's installing the mod did it right or half ***, plus I like doing it as I can make sure it's done correctly while saving some major bank. I've saved over $2000 installing my mods with help. Doing the mods myself puts my mind at ease that's it's done the right way, it helps you learn about the 8 and I've learned something new every time I've installed mods.
