Still undecided on the factory machined look vs the new color.

I was about to set off to the internet to find out what they were - they look fantastic in that color! I definitely prefer that to the stock finish!

There is truth to this I think. My eyes have a natural "sleepy" look to them...so basically I always look stoned. I was also suspected of being the leader of an acid trafficking ring when I was in High School. (From a very "reliable" source they said.) I think the deputy who searched me in high school must have added a note to pop up when they ran my license. After all, he told me that my lifestyle would eventually catch up with me and land me in prison or dead.

My lifestyle was a) hang out with friend at pizza shop and play pinball b) go to church every Wednesday and Sunday c) avoid all parties as I was and am pretty anti-social and don't really enjoy that scene at all. Yeah, I'm a pretty boring person. I guess that's illegal?

Edit: forgot d) play RPG video games in my parents basement. LOL. Not anymore...but back in those days...

That, plus your nickname "ditch weed" most likely contributed -

It never occurred to me at the time, but now that you mention it, it seems so obvious.

Drove to work and back, but really, this post is just a bait to get you to go to this thread:

In that color, they find me of Lexus rc350 wheels

Spent Independence Day with my friend and we worked on our cars. He had fun doing his tie rods wheel bearings, and I upgraded to a 2017+ intake manifold for my2016. It needed the 2017(manual) ECU bracket, throttle body gasket, and a new bolt that holds the sensor.

800105230 (Sensor bolt)
14047AB150 (ECU Bracket)
16175AA520 (gasket)

Next time...Oil pressure and Water Temp Gauges

humfrz · 07-06-2019, 12:01 AM

That's all fine and dandy - but, I'd rather have that 1956 Chevrolet there -

How much of a pain was it to install?

Put my front bumper back on and washed it! First time it's been washed since the valve spring garbage in December... Poor thing.
