Talking Aero Kit Being Installed

If you guys remembered a few weeks ago I solicited your opinions on the aero kit. I wanted to do some mods but didnt want it to look like something from pimp my ride. Well, I brought my baby in tot he dealer yesterday to get the Aero kit installed. They said it should take approximately three days. besides the aero kit, I am getting the aluminium foot pedals and the chrome tailpipe trim installed also. I wanted to get the aluminium side board but my advisor and the accessory book said that its incompatible with the aero kit (though everyone on the board seem to think otherwise). I have 18" wheels on now with snow tyres but will order a set of style 87 20" wheels in a few weeks when the threat of snow is gone. I honestly do not know much about tyres, so if anyone has an opinion as to what the best ones are I would greatly appreciate your help.

By the way, thank you all for your suggestions which hepled me in making my decision.

Cheers

I did take some before pictures on my digital camera and I will take some after the mods are finished. Now anyone who knows me knows that I am like a magpie, I like bright new shiny things, unfortunately sometimes I dont know how to operate my new shiny toys. I guess what I am saying is that I have never been able to figure out how to upload pics from my camera to my PC and I am too lazy to figure it out. Not to worry I will find some poor sod who will do it.

Cheers

I've managed to get them into the computer - Still have not figured out how to post/attach them - Glad to know I'm not the only one technically challenged

It's actually easier than it looks at first. When you are writing your post, look at the top of the "Message:" part. In about the middle, there's a paperclip with a down arrow to the right of it. Click on the down arrow. That will bring up a popup window. Now all you have to do is hit "Browse" and select the location of, and the file(s) of the pictures you want to post. You will, of course, have to know where the are on your hard drive...
After you've selected all the pictures, hit "upload" and you're done!

i think the question is though, how do they get them
from the camera to the PC. most cameras and
such come w/ a USB cable. attach that to the camera,
attach the other end to the PC and then turn the camera
on. u might have to change the mode on the camera though.

I totally forgot - after you upload your pics, then you put the cursor in your post where you want the picture, and then hit the paperclip again. Now it will list all your photos that you just uploaded, and you can choose which one you want to put in the message at the point where the cursor is. Sorry for only giving half the info!
