The Opti-coat package was inexpensive, but in order to get free shipping (can't pass on that) had to place minimum $125 order. Of course, once I started thinking; looking over the detailing products, it was easy to find lots of nice extra things. I am not a shopper, in a bad way. Also making a tint deal - if it is right/good I will pass on the contact (mobile service that does import dealer subs).

I can't speak for Justin, but I'm not sure If I'll be able to make the drive with you guys. Just got back from working the Wicked Big Meet out east this weekend and I'm totally fried! I'll definitely stick around to at least meet you guys and hang out for a bit before you head out, though.

Alrighty Bruce, I'll post up tomorrow where Alan and I are if you wanted to meet a little earlier and that goes for anyone else who wants to cruise a little earlier than 5:30

I'm not positive but I think Mobile 1 and Amsoil are still the only true synthetics out there. I could be wrong, haven't researched it in years. *True* meaning Group IV (4) dont need Viscosity additives like type III(3) petroleum based "Synthetics".

I know they definitely have the oem synthetic there. I have a couple Subaru master-tech friends. I'll ask them what they think.

I probably wouldn't recommend running Royal Purple unless you're racing.

I also would stick to either Mobil 1 or OEM oil if you're daily driving.

Needing to get radio head install 2 p.m. @ Luther/Minnetonka, probably an hour or so, then checking a couple stations for non-oxy 93, thence on to Grimm - need to be in Medina by 6 p.m.
