NOTE: If I didn't mention it here, IT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO ME (braking, performance, acceleration, etc). I have the big V8 parked up if I wanted thrills.

Are you on Jersey Shore? j/k, ok maybe not. More power to ya. I'm not into the car makeup scene.
I love brakes. Acceleration comes in a close second but I do like to stop.

[QUOTE]X5X, see how much "love" you'll get if you ever proceed with that G-Power? LOL OMG haters have no shame man! LOL

Always going to be those who think they know it all, then there are those who will hate, those who will dislike, those who have no real opinion, then those who like. {shrug}

I agree with you 100% I will do what I want to my car and what I think looks best, not what some tastless poster thinks

[krnnerdboy]

OP you seem to be a stand up guy from the way your reacting and taking your time to respond.....

to KLOOGY...you really seem to be emphasizing what others think in your statements. If thats the case "where I'm from" your mustang is either driven by prostitutes or wetbacks, even if it's got a 1000 whp. Luckily I don't feel the same and I respect all aspects of car enthusiasts, even the ones I don't agree with. Having such strong opinions and feeling that they are facts only causes stereotypes, racism, ignorant behavior, and supremacy groups(as we see here)

To the OP, finish your car already so that I can see what works and what doesn't. Because I sure don't have the cash flow for R&D

[Kloogy]

Funny you mention wetbacks and racism in the same sentence. On some forums that kind of language would get you banned. I don't know where you hang out, but I've never seen a prostitute driving a Mustang. Maybe that's because I don't go out looking for those types of women.

Doesn't do much for me, particularly if the cost is considered, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like it, that's all that really counts. Enjoy it.

You are so disconnected form reality it is absurd.

Been waiting for over a month on simply stuff - Lumma carpet, gas/brake pedals and door entrance borders. I'm stuck on wheels right now - been conversing with goodroads, amortech powder coating, coast2coast and RM Customs. Deciding on wheels and what to do to match the rim with my window surround is the HARDEST thing thus far. Its frustrating.

The project isn't a major priority right now. I work a lot further away from my house now (highway driving now, and I'm starting to see knicks after 2 years of blemish free paint!), so I've been looking for a eco car. And, it turns out that the good ole wifey is up to her arse in debt. After some stern talking, I'm accruing that debt on myself to give her a "bail out" (all I can do is shake my head about it and laugh to keep from crying). So, family matters has to come first for now. But, I'm still doing the project bit by bit - just waiting on parts.

Dont mean to hate or disrespect, but there are SO much wrong in this post where you describe some aspects of your family matters.

But seriously, if you are getting so much negative responses from here, if I was you I would just stop posting and forge ahead with my project, why is there a need for you to post every step of the way and get blasted every time?

BRAGGING
Don't think you understand the term. If someone logs into a forum and says that they are buying a 600K house, is that "bragging", or are they simply happy about thier house (while happening to mention the price)? Bragging is when someone says they are doing something and COMPARING it with someone who cannot afford to do it. I don't do that. You enterpret it as bragging because of your own light weight pockets, not because of me comparing what I do to someone else.

In fact, I've been urgin X5X (I think) to go forward with the G-Power, which is more expensive, newer and includes tuning. Now, why would I do that if I were a braggart? I do it because I celebrate everything that is BMW, even the things I don't exactly like. While I personally do not like G-Power, I'd think it would be so SWEET to see him with the kit because he, like me, would then have a UNIQUE X5. Think before you type.

LACKING KNOWLEDGE
Is lacking automotive knowledge improtant to the vehicle OWNER? No. BODY SHOP REPAIRMEN are certified in thier trade so i don't need to be (duh). I'm the visionary. They are the laborers. This is like you saying that a man who knows how he wants his house designed must have painting, plumbing, electrical, and roofing knowledge in order for his dream to come to reality. That is just as absurb as your comment about me and my car. Concerning the tires - what? Should I know (or even care to know) what the numbers on tires means? When I GET TO THAT POINT, I'm sure the professionals will make thier suggestion. Do you think that my lacking knowledge on tires will prevent me for getting the right ones when it is time? LOL!!! You're a funny guy. Again, think before you type.

SPELLING
Is it knumb nuts, or numb nuts? I can never really remember. Grow up kiddo. I'll always jack up the spelling. Get over it.

PRICE DROPPING
Maybe you are the only one who fails to notice, but evey mod forum I'm in, I ALWAYS see people asking for the cost. I don't care if its V3 LUX, kits, OEM parts, wheels, etc. There is ALWAYS someone who asks for cost. I post cost for those individuals. sigh

INCOME/COST
Remember, YOU took it there, not me. So, let me set you straight. First, you can easily see the cost of the mods on estrictlyforiegn.com. Easily. So, this is no secrete. Hell, I spent about 2K on shaded tailights and tail lids and I don't even use them! LOL I decided to spend another $400 to get my stock ones blacked out instead. But if I actually volunteered that information, that's all some jackoff like you would focus on - what I did with MY $$. Why dont you go get some rather than b-ching on what the rest of us do with our own?

Secondly, LOL!!!! I haven't done telephony sales in over 2 years. And when I did, I was making 55K and another 30K in commission. Plus I was working part-time security, bellman and overnight bellman at a resort. Those positions included tips, and since it was a resort, you'd need to add another 20-30K on top of my main job (being part time gigs, there were no medical or dental deductions). LOL So, how much was I making per year prior to moving back to the USA? 80-120K per year. So, you think I give a rats ass about your concerns with MY money? LOL This is what you get for trying to evaluate an individual based on antiquated material that you read on a forum profile. Reload and try again.

NEXT!

thats a waste of money.

Let me get this straight, youre "stuck in florida" and youre trying to get your wife out of a mortgage. Why not work on paying that down?

damn, so much for the subprime mortgage crisis being over.

Get some priorities straight, i'm not hating on the car, its not my taste, but to each their own...

from a "friend" on the forums, dont waste money if you have other things that might be more important
