      Aaron planned his shit nicely, but I guess it does seem pretty fast for a swap.

      We are still smoothing everything out though: wire cleanup, tranny bracket perfection, car clean-up, etc etc.

      I want my s50 now... BAD.

                      Already thinking of that or black. White would be probably better, as its close to body color and the black paint would make my trim look grey. Hmmmmmm....

                        If you paint them white, it would look more like plastics.

                              lol. im so strapped though =o. I would need to actually paint them real bodycolor too. I might tuck anyway for the whole little while I have them before plastics. Lemme know on AIM. ;P

                              I came back to say though that it appears that I have the right tools, but I dont have the paint yet. Shit, guess I have to go anyway to get something. I always end up buying more than I intended to get there anyway too...

                                A new version of duck duck duck duck duck... duck duck goose!

                                tuck tuck delete! ROFL



                                By the time I got done looking through the whole store at OSH, it was getting dark out so I couldnt paint the bumpers white. I'll do that tomorrow but since I have to drive to work, and perhaps SF tomorrow, I wanted to be almost legal. I found a nice spot for my turn signals in a couple holes that were exposed after the bumper got ousted.

                                Dunno how long I'll keep them tucked even if I do buy the plastics from Cary (likely at this point), but I'll probably want to keep them that way for at least a little while to make my effort kinda worth while.

                                Negative bucktooth FTW!? :grin:
