I think I'm going to go get some stuff to debadge the car. Fishing line and adhesive remover? Eh, I'll give it a shot. I have a hair dryer that my ex left here. lol.

I used a heat gun on my car and it worked great. Just be careful not to get things too hot or you might bubble your paint. Heat and flaws or some kinda string works best imo.

I haven't seen a hood strut mount like that before from the pics it looks kinda cheapy, but it works I would like to see in person.

Yes! Someone just debadged the 'evolution' from my car and I think they used a foking razor blade and a screwdriver, its scraped to shit. :(

The mynes ones we gave away at the dyno day last year (and several of us have them on our cars) look identical, except for the CF finish on the strut. They're very reliable, and one of mine even survived the barrel roll :)

I'm not trying to talk shit, so don't take me wrong but teh way it mounts looks too universal (if that makes sense) I'm sure it looks better in person.

I need to do this, my hood blows up when I fart.

What!? No way. I put a few scratches on the trunk lid getting that black grommet-thing out of the trunk. Luckily that's covered by the wing mount.

I also found a door ding today. I'd hoped I could go a while longer before that happened, but I guess not. Assholes are everywhere.

It's definitely universal. So is the wing I just bought, excepting the mounts. Same sort of deal. They'd never make enough money doing something custom just for an Evo X.

LOL, I wasn't kidding when I dubbed it 'beaterX.' When you see it in person, its filled with dings and scratches.

I'm going to drop the car off with Shane for a few days next week...he's going to find some time for the tune. Awesome!

I sent Jeff an email for an appointment.

I'm going to pull the fuel pump tonight to get the suction line back in there. It'll be nice to reinstall the back seat, anyway, since it does keep some noise out of the car.

No appointment yet. May 24th is my first HPDE @BIR so I'll try to get everything done by then.

Hope you went through track time to save a few bucks. If you didn't, maybe you can change your date if you already paid and re-register through track time. All track time does is make it slightly cheaper to run the same events.
