Just as bad here, and Ive spent the past two days moving. Ive probably lost like 10 pounds just in sweat.

Im officially a resident of Tampa...stealing a weak *** internet signal from the neighbor to get on the org until I get cable/internet of my own.

Ill be back on when I'm settled/unpacked/etc...hopefully one day my roommates can clear the rest of their **** out of the garage so I can have a place to work...

Dark amber ftw...I never realized how much I liked it in my dads old car, '90 525i, until i got my max which had the white GXE cluster, or the SE now with the white/blue.
Amber is a lot easier on the eyes even though it doesn't look as cool(read:ricey).
But maybe rice is what you want.


























asian joke anyone?

Amber/Red (when done properly) = win

Glad you made it ok!

Stealing internets FTW. We did it almost the entire first year were in our new house.

The garage situation sounds a lot like your old shop.

BTW...I have been looking for the endcaps for my SX400.2 for a few wks now w/ no luck. I had also tried multiple times to contact Kicker to see if they had any, and always got the same result...give us your phone # and we'll call back as soon as we find out if we have them. Well, after a wk w/ no phone call, I called back today and finally got to talk w/ someone who knew what they were doing. They said they had them, took my name and address and said "We'll get them shipped out to you."

Point of the story...Free endcaps from Kicker FTW

Keep it amber. I would think that green, if too light, would be harder on the eyes, and if too dark would be hard to see at night. Its not a coincidence that street lights are a light amber as well.

Thank god Elvito's thread got moved.

Changed my coils in the driveway yesterday. Good news is some of the boxes in the garage got cleared up, bad news is today my power steering started moaning at me. Fack. Hit 96k miles though, I guess I should expect some of this.
