Pretty bad, but FSU is starting to come back. Houston is doing a great job, though. Good team.

Good news, more parts came for my car. Bad news, this part is only partial of parts, so I can't install em til I get/buy rest of the parts

today has been so slow that I am now caught up on mighty car mods and went back through a bunch of engineering explained's youtube videos. I consider that pretty productive.

Once the new tailights are ready for purchase, think I'm done with the car. Have nothing else I want to do to it except for typical consumable upgrades such as pads, fluids, and tires. I did put my name in for the electric supercharger but the queue is very long... Probably another year or two when its my turn. By that time, I'm already looking at other life stuff lol

I'll keep working on driver mod at auto-x and track.

Quoting from an aftermarket business' website concerning a carbon fiber hood for the twins:

"Looking to shed some weight from your new Scion FRS? We carry a full selection of Scion FRS carbon fiber hoods from top manufacturers such as Carbon Creations and Seibon Carbon. Installing a carbon fiber hood on your Scion FRS will lighten the vehicle compared to the stock steel hood while also adding that infamous tuner style that has embraced the look of raw carbon fiber hoods for more than ten years now."

The underline is mine. Raise your hands if you think the stock hood is made of steel...

That's what I thought. This sort of mistake doesn't inspire my confidence in the vendor.

A lot of vendors don't rewrite the products. They usually replace the words & call it good.

I forgot which store on eBay I ordered from, but mine was a good match.
I unfortunately only have this 1 picture.

This is going to be a fun last work day of the year.

Typed my password in global chat, screwed up some tickets, things in general not going right.

Oh well, someone brought in the special juice so itll be relaxing at least.
