Sooooo. Last night as I left Native and got to Glendale Blvd a Ford F-250 and a very new Benz decided to flip a bitch right in front of me. If you didn't hear the screech marks from my tires and then my accelerating to get myself out of trouble then good.

My point is two things...First, we go out and meet up to have a good time and we drink. I had a few last night and it would have taken just this simple moment to change my life. Let's all of us be careful out there. Ollis had the right idea when he said, "I may be calling a cab tonight."

Secondly, If you heard the tires and the ruthless sound of my highly tuned machine then I don't want anyone to think I am disrespecting the scene. I am the last person to do that and the first to knock the shit out of someone for being an asshole.

Stay safe, because I said so.

Looking to get in on the headlight modding. I did the oven trick about 10 years ago on my Civic and loved how it turned out. Used black bbq grill paint and it worked perfect. Sanding the chrome off the non reflector surfaces was the most difficult part.
Is there more details i overlooked on this tech day?

We can do that. I've done prob close to 30 sets of headlights. I'll post up a flyer with my address etc later today. It starts when the 1st person shows up. Prob between 7-8am till projects are done.

Hey,

I know that Kavanaugh and Myself are doing ours on Sunday. I am going to space age today to pick up paint, and LEDs from gethid.com (local store). If your using an asphalt paint or have an asphalt car, I am willing to share.

Are you using just a heat gun or an oven? Using the same silicon to reseal it? Total project time? I'd ask these questions in person tonight but a root canal this afternoon says I won't be in the mood for a drive later
