I think I'm still going the night before. Need to get the stickers to hand out from my friend and clean the car up. Pretty sure they will be 7x1.5' and just say "STLRX" in dark silver.

Is it just the three of us that you know of coming down?

You guys are welcome to come by before the meet.

I am pretty sure I won't be able to make it, but I'd still like to get one of the stickers from you AJ.

I wish I could skip the tourney but I'm the captain and that usually isn't good. lol

Adam, did you get a tracking number when you ordered the appearance lip from that ebay store? I paid for one on sunday and haven't got one.

^ I know right. How many people are planning on cruising with you to Columbia Adam? I kind of want to head down early to see if my air dam arrived.

Btw does anyone know what size the bolts are that attach the air dam to the bumper. Need to drill some holes for the air dam but I'm not sure what size.

I think Im leaving around 11. So be there around 1 I would guess for sure.

Im not sure what size they are but I know they are fairly small. Maybe an 1/8 inch or so. Make sure you get them in the right place but if you dont they will be covered anyway.

I think I will be having another photoshoot with the car this Friday. Hopefully it all works out, you guys will be sure to like the pictures.

Finally got those last bolts put in for the coilovers today lol!

My 8 never had the holes drilled for the appearance lip so I will be drilling those on friday, pending that the lip even arrives.

I will be there all day Saturday until about 2:30 so just call when you get close, I'll pm you the address.

AJ, the meet doesnt even really start until 3, so youre leaving before it starts? Lots of people seem to be coming down early idk why.

Never have had that problem with the glove compartment.

I ordered my new lugs and strut bar the other day, hopefully it all looks good.

Just keep in mind that the stock suspension wasn't made for that spring and drop. It will wear the stock struts out faster but if it is only temporary then you should be fine.
