Didn't realize how cheap everybody here is. Nevermind I guess lol
I don't mind paying to get into charity car events and seeing more than just the same 10 people all the time. Figured it would be cool to have a little group, but guess not! Lol

I see I'm actually dealing with oc transpo currently for autocross purposes so I will see if they actually asked to use the lot.

Will there be food/drink vendors on site for that meet?

My first lighting mod - Diode Dynamics "Tail as Turn + Backup Module"
http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/c...category/1441/

The kit makes the tail lights function as turn lights and converts the stock turn lights into extra backup lights, with bright white LEDs replacing the amber turn bulbs.

I wanted brighter backup lighting (for increased visibility when backing out of parking spaces with my vision obscured by minivans with tinted windows and pickup trucks).

I also have brighter LED bulbs on order to replace the stock bulbs in the stock center lower backup light.

Does anyone have recommendations on an affordable upgrade for better headlights (without blinding oncoming drivers)?

Looks good! I bought the same kit a couple weeks ago but haven't gotten around to installing them yet. We should have combined to save shipping hahaha

Looks good Norm!

I finally gave into peer pressure and got some fancy wheels. 18"x8" 30 offset Enkei Kojin with 225/40 Bridgestone RE-71R's.

They aren't as light as, say, the Enkei PF01's, but I'm a sucker for 5-spoke designs. Combined weight of wheel + tire = 43.5 lbs, about 4.5 lbs heavier than the stock 17" wheel with winters on it. Such is the price I'm paying for style.

A big thanks to @Slick -- great price, great service, what more could you want? Free beer? Grid girls?
