I do everything. Airbrush and Body. My website is just now getting up and running but it will have a gallery of some of my projects I have done. The coolest one is a 2009 fatboy I did for a green beret. KJRH did a story on it but since he was in special forces he said he couldn't do it. They are really strict about that. Plus he is a very private person. doesn't like a lot of attention like that.

Sweet! Well I got a old truck. A 79 ford courier that I'm fixin up. I gotta get some rust spots fixed then ill be ready for paint. I want it black. And the exact same black they put on the rx8s. Its a small truck. A lil smaller than rangers. Single cab short bed. About how much would somthing like that cost? I know you can't pin point me a price but a round about is ok. Idk what paint jobs go for any more.

Race roots kei replica eyelids or check eBay. You will want to have them painted here so that they can match the paint.

Looks like I'm sending my engine to BHR to have Charles do the rebuild. We just have to finish the details. Will let you know what we decide to do. Carlos will be doing the un/install for me.

Oh and one more thing. I am working on getting some affiliates on my stie for parts for imports. We can get some free shipping discounts stuff like that. I already have tirerack.com so we can get tires cheaper and usually get good shipping rates if not free shipping. Before you buy tires be sure to drop me a line so I check and see if they ave anything special going on that i can can hook you up with!!! Also if you guys and gal :-) would like to have a tulsa club website I can set one up at my site. Do what ever you all want to do on it. My only rule is it must be PG rated.

The eyelids are usually carbon fiber or fiberglass. You would take them to a body shop and have them painted to match your car. Then they are applied with double sided 3m tape to the headlight. A cheaper route would be to lay some black vinyl on the headlight and trim to shape it the way you want it.

Looks like Charles and I have decided to use NRS ceramic apex seals, mild exhaust port, and a sohn. Engine will also be painted blue. Let's hope everything goes smoothly. I'm having to take a loan out to get this done right the first time. I also will be adding Racing beat header and guages with a mishimoto radiator. WIth a good tune from MM (glad I bought that in March) I should be happy w/o boost for awhile. We hope

hey WWJD how is the 8 shopping going? Please, please, please go thru Autotrader instead of just going out to a dealership, or at least if you find one at a dealership you like write down the vin # and then go to autotrader and look it up on there thru that dealership to see what they're bottom dollar is on it. That way they don't weasle you out of more $ than you need to be paying. Anyways happy hunting and let us know what you find!

Woogie I may need to take you up on the tire thing soon. ND noticed that one of my rear tires is getting pretty bald in the center. Plus i am wanting to look into getting some winter tires for my 8 but won't do that until the fall.

Not a problem let me know when because they are always sending out new deals and discounts. Walmart will put them on for $7 a tire also. If don't like them i can get you a list of tirerack certified installers and they will do it also.

You can buy them prepainted but it probably isn't going to match with sun having already faded the paint on your 8 a little. It's just easier to match that way.

I ordered my NRS ceramic apexs seals today. $950 plus shipping. They won't be ready for 4-6 weeks. I got the last set available from this batch. I'll start a thread for my build as soon as my seals get here.

Hey, found a car, but got a question.

Pushing the right dash button changes your speedo from mph to km/h. Does it also change your odometer and trip computer? The car im looking at shows 63,000 on the clock, but is in km/h mode and i need to know if that changes. It's in dallas or i would check myself.
