    Ya the law's pretty tight up here. don't think you can have it at all under the car. but it might be different now.

    I would definitely recommend the block heater, she gets pretty chilly out here, especially in cow town so i hear from rival hockey fans down south.

    Hmm...I'll have to look into that. I'm not gonna take the underglow off, it was expensive and a PITA to put on! :lol:

    Calgary can get cold, but there's also those chinooks that warm it up sometimes!

    Thanks boys

    Karan: They're the V2, but keep in mind my subs are in the bakc and pretty heavy so it's lower than it should be in the back.

    Talon: Ya i been there my man, (ChokinChikin). Do any of you guys go to the friday meets at united cycle, I'm thinkin about goin this week.

    (I'm not actually in edmonton, I'm in Leduc. Probably why you haven't seen me)

    Ya that's the one, i'll probbly be able to make it out for friday nights, and some saturdays..

    That really suck that's this weekend. I gotta work all weekend.

    But Talon, if you're ever in leduc, stop by the Canadian Tire, my car's always parked in the lot at the far end, cuz i'm a manager there.

    Or you guys should swing your cruise by there saturday morning lol

    By the way Karan, I'm way jealous of that photo shoot you took out at the airport. That pic on your sig is some kind of gorgeous.

    We'll have to get together for a shoot sometime, find a good spot

    Thanks Talon_66. I'll try to swing by there one of these Friday evenings.

    Yeah CC thats a pretty nice spot on the weekend evenings, when the Fedex office is closed. Its actually their loading bay, but on the weekends its empty. I was pretty pumped when I saw that jet parked right behind the fence! I was like, Oh man I gotta do a photoshoot here, got a perfect backround

    Update!

    Another quick thing i forgot about was this small addition. I had some extra Mystify paint lying arounds from when i did the engine compartment so i secided to paint the horn that sits right behind the grille.

    This is how it turned out

    [​IMG]

    I might paint it red later on to give it a little more contrast... gotta figure out if i like it yet

    Nice touch man. Do you do any highway driving or on gravel roads? Our paint is really really prone to chipping, you should consider putting some 3M on if you do. I work in Nisku so I have to drive on the highway and beaten gravel roads everyday. It sucks bad :( :( :(

    fortunately i live in a brand new part of leduc, so my roads are perfect. and i live about 45 seconds from work so not too much highway, and i really try to avoid gravel.

    i know about the chipping tho, my skirts are startin to look sandblasted.

    not only that, last week some buttplug decided to ram a walmart cart into my rear fender and rim, so i got a big dent in the fender and the rim... which blows cuz that's the first blemish to my rims. I was really proud of how perfect they still were, no scuffs at all :evil:
