Mid-Atlantic Chat Thread

[clevrname]

Figured we could start up a thread to keep us entertained during the day. My name is Josh, I'm from the VB Area and actually sling Toyotas and Scions for a living while going to school.

The previous car I owned, there was a MidAtl Chat Thread and 8-10 of us chatted in it daily and began to become a little family. Lets see how it goes.

Hows it going. My names Will and I am frequently bored at work during the day so hopefully this will give me something to do!

I work at a car audio shop in tysons corner, you can see our website and some of our work in my sig. If anyone needs some work or has some questions about car audio stuff I would be glad to share my input.

Let's see where this thread goes.

Sounds cool. I'm Mark, and I work as an IT Specialist for the World Bank in DC.

It's off to a start! On a brighter note, It seems the FRS is becoming a little more plentiful. I actually managed to get a Raven AT last allocation and still haven't been able to sell it, should be here tomorrow. This will be the first one I have coming in that is not pre sold.

You guys done anything to your cars yet?

Got 4300k HID bulbs in, led plates, waiting for Grimspeed relocation plate in the mail. getting clear bra this weekend and opti coated.

Thinking about getting a get together in the next week or two for the first official big frs meet.

Question for you guys. Did you guys mount your front plates? I'm seriously thinking about taking mine off.. I've heard multiple ppl say that front plates are rarely enforced around MD.

[MVJ1975]

Yes, I've got mine mounted. It's down in the grille area, so the bumper itself is undrilled/unmarked.

I've got the Beatsonic antenna on mine, and will eventually have a FiveAxis spoiler (whenever it feels like showing up, that is)....

I've got the grimspeed kit but I haven't installed it yet. I'm going to wait until it becomes an issue before I put it on.

I had a car for two years that didn't have a front plate and I got pulled over twice for it. Actually twice in the same week. Once I got a ticket and the second time I got a warning. Neither time did they actually give me a repair order though so I never bothered to put it on.

Ive been pulled over a few times for no front plate in my last car but it also had A LOT of stuff done to it so I think they just liked harassing me. For my BRZ I just zip tied mine to the grills below the mouth guard. No holes drilled and I can remove it easily if I want to.

So far I have a Red Perrin Crank pulley, oil change, back-up camera connected to the factory NAV, NAV/DVD bypass, and new door speakers. Ill be doing the dash speakers and an amp pretty soon.

Vary Nice.

And now begins my 9 hours of awesomeness at work.

I've got the Grimmspeed relocator and I'm on the list for that special edition oil cap. My Nameless exhaust will be here tomorrow, I get off at 6 and cannot WAIT to install it. I really want the 5Axis Spoiler I just don't feel like waiting for it. I'm entirely too impatient for that. Hell, waiting the three weeks for the Nameless has all but killed me. Signed up for AutoX Sunday, this will be my second time running it, so I hope to do well....

Hey guys I'm in Leesburg working in Ashburn @ Verizon as a IT Auditor...I'm going to try and come up to the meets (Chick-Fila I think) someday...

I am also looking for a viable option for the front license plates...i really don't want to drill any holes but my bigger complaint is how I just don't want plates in the front..really messes up the look. I am currently running no plates but hopefully I don't get pulled over...

IT Manager in Richmond. My nameless exhaust should be here either today or tomorrow. Already have the Visconti Stage 1 ecutek reflash.

stoked for the exhaust.

BTW- in addition to working right around the corner from you I've passed your car parked at a house just off 123 in Vienna. GREAT looking STI in the driveway.
