Are you doing the racing beat oil cooler screens? I just did them 2 weeks ago, before that tampa meet. I think they look awsome! Its a simple install, and you have to take the bumper off anyway so if you wanted to do that VFAD it would be a good time. I dont have anything replacing mine, but I know you had said you were thinking of just adding the racing beat ram air to the stock box, so maby just wait and do it all at once.

Did you also get the protector for the radiator/ac?

Yes, I got all three screens, but didn't get the ram air duct. Couldn't make up my mind on that. So your side skirts came in? Can't wait to see it.

yeah, we got the foglight installed in the MS front bumper last night, that was pretty simple.

we did all the prep work for the side skirts last night, and drilled all the piolt holes for the clips (8 damn holes on each side of the car, 4 under the car and 4 on the side both right and left, crazy) so tonight we are going to drill the actual holes after a test fit of the skirts, then install them, it was 4 hrs last night to take off the nose, do the fogs and put the nose on and then start the work on the sides (with a 30 min break for a snack) so I guess it should be about 3-4 hrs tonight to get it wraped up.

Then I want to let it sit over night so the 2 side-tape gets a good hold, then wash and wax for the big meet this weekend.

Only downside is that the body shop cant paint the hood this week, but its ok, ill rock the primer for the meet, no big deal. lol

Primer is the new fall color.

So guys, do we have any more people that want to go to this? We will be there all day, so you can always come later. I am looking forward to meeting everyone again and trying to remember names, mods etc.

2NDShift (my husband) is under his car right now installing A and B pipes with a new exhaust....new tires...he will be ready by Friday.

Did you see that post on the 2006 colors? The green is still in! No rush on a body kit!!! Er, maybe that is bad. I am looking forward to see your kit complete. Nothing on the back for that kit right? No bumber replacement?

I will be at the meet for a good part of the day, but due to some other things I have to do, I wont be there first thing and might have to leave a little early, but Ill be there for a good chunk of the day, and then later that night Ill go out with yall in town.

Right, I wont have the rear diffuser (bumper) or wing on, cause I dont have them yet, just the side skirts and front nose, with fog lights.

The tampa group will plan on arriving around 10am since they are saving us parking.

A few of us are staying overnight at a hotel near Pleasure Island so we can drink and walk back. If any Orlando people would like to join us, the more the merrier.
We want to miss the traffin on Sat night.
