^you should wrap the scuttle... i managed to get the scuttle, gas cap, and door handles done...

i need to re-do my passenger side door handle because some idiot co-worker hit it with their car door. They told me about it and there was no damage other then the vinyl, but still.

Well, for the first time im some time, Las Vegas got some SERIOUS snow! In fact, I have no school tomorrow (school officials declared it a snow day)!

These were taken right after I got home from school, right as the snow started to fall. Later on in the night another 7-8 inches fell!!

Ill post pics of that later...

idk man, all the black out stuff was photo shopped, so was the tint, just giving myself an idea what it would look like. Does look really good though, i think paired with a nice set of black bbs wheels, the car would look really tight.

I would say do the blackout! Are you gonna lower it? H&Rs with some black BBSs would look ill.

Yea, it's awesome because I don't have to park the Mini sideways anymore.

He loves it and never stops talking about it haha.

I've never seen him so happy about a car (other than mine).

It was unexpected too because my dad just got rid of his A4 2.0T in October bought a Honda Fit to use during winter because the smart dealership told him that his car wasn't coming in until March then it got here Dec 10(guess he got bumped up on the waiting list haha).

He asked me if I could put an "air filter thing" (CAI) on it lol.

the snow is fun. it's awesome watching everyone get stuck and I go crusin on past 'em... I've been to work every day it's snowed. Although, portland did get 5-6 inches more then we did in seattle
fwd+snow tires = unstoppable.

I do not envy you. I've been in Seattle when it's snowed. If you guys get half an inch, people suddenly stop driving and start acting like complete bufoons.

I really believe that in climates like the NW, where snow is a way of life and BIG snow is a way of life almost every winter they should require special classes on winter driving before you can drive on the roads between the months of October and March.

Not knowing how to drive on this stuff is more dangerous than the snow itself.
