    Default The mods are stacking up!

    Just got home after a long overdue trip to Oregon for calibrations, fixits, etc. Wrote $2,585.00 in labor for 4 days work, but damn, I'm pooped.

    Got home last night and found about 4 of 6 packages had come in. Got the Magnaflow X pipe, Luminics Krypton bulbs, the zero clearance heat shield for the cutouts, and the new Colgan carbon fiber bra. Yeah, I know lots of G8'ers hate the bra, but I hate stone chips more. So far the PSM '09 is a virgin paint-wise and it's gonna stay that way. The New Era CAI that actually survived the wreck is on with the HSRK kit and waiting for the filter from Mike. Waiting for Crazy Pauls box-o-goodies for the Holden re-badge and VMS to send the Flash Xpress for ECM/TCM tune. Going with 50-30-30% TM this time. The 19" tires & wheels are on the '09 and 4 brand new 18" wheels and Goodyear Eagles on the wreck. What a waste!

    Good points, but every clear 3M bra I've seen looks like ass IMHO.

    I kinda have to agree. I think they look fine until you get to where they stopped. They are not nearly as noticeable on the lighter cars, but I'm still not a fan.

    Bras don't count as a mod unless it's a push-up Bra

    It also cannot be counted as a mod unless you can unsnap it with one hand in less than 3 seconds.

    Crazy Pauls goody box showed up today from Perth. Let the re-badging begin!
