I'm going to try to get them done this weekend before SEMA, so all we have to do is install your rebuild kit when I get back.

Sweet! Got any ideas for a red that is cooler than standard red, but doesn't look maroon from far away?

ahh that looks sick!. i thought you meant you were going with the red disk at the bottom. i didn't realize you could get the circle on top in red (or another color besides black) how did you get that? it looks amazing with the GTR button. btw, is the knob shorter or taller than stock or does the throw feel pretty much the same from a height perspective?

You can order a "color pack" from them that includes a bunch of different color washers including red. As far as the height, its about the same as stock, but I like it because you can grip it differently. Just a wierd personal preference, but I like grabbing the shaft rather than the head...

...but seriously I can't think of any way to explain it that doesn't sound ghey so might as well go all the way with it.

i see what you mean. hmm i'm more of a head grabber as of late

. when i shift into 5th and sixth i usually push it away instead of pulling it away.

The seals cold use a refreshing after 12 track days. They aren't that bad but figured as long as they are getting torn apart from powdercoating might as well put them back together with all new seals and dust boots.

What color is your shift knob? I can’t really tell on this crappy work monitor. It looks like a perfect match to the interior trim.

Not much going on here lately unfortunately, but I did recently get some FX Carbon Fiber film to try out. It's really pretty sweet stuff, its textured like real dry CF, reflects light the same as real dry CF, and looks flat out awesome. I only had enough to have my rear bumper valance done, but will be getting more soon to do some other small things like mirrors, front fangs, and maybe the roof.
