Thanks! I like the BOP xBs. My dealer had 2 BCP xBs and one BOP, and the BOP had a STUPID graphic on the side and it looked horrible. It was my 1st test drive and I was embarrassed, heh. Neon green and BOP = not so hot together on factory graphics.

Good job on not going homicidal.

Yah, it was really hard NOT to kill the last person who said "kathy, ur car's so ghett0h fobish....it's got nothing"and then kept suggesting 390284 types of rims for my car. well, our last patients for the day rescheduled so i got off work early. it's so much fun hearing all the weird excuses that people would give u just so they won't have to come in to get their teeth cleaned, or a cavity filled....haha. i can write a whole book on it.. so since we got off work early today, one of the girls from work said she'd go with me to shop around for some rims. JUST window shopping, i swore on my dead goldfish's life that there won't be any impulse purchases done by me today. so we'll see if i find any that are good.

See if you can have the dealer NOT install the front license plate.

They just screw it on-with giant ugly screws-right into the plastic of the bumper. I tried, but it was too late. You guys still have a chance!

Thanks for the tip Tanaka, I'll call his cell tomorrow morning and see what I can do. I HATE the front license plate law in CA. I got in an accident in my '98 truck a long time ago and they replaced it with an OEM front bumper that had no front plate attachment, so I no longer have to have one. I don't know how my rep will treat that request though, he's kind of an ___.

Kat- impulse buys are great! Something I'm good at, unfotunately. Be strong.. be strong!

Get the lowering springs FIRST!

Damnit, Kat! I blame you for bringing up impulse buys.

I just bought the Progress spring/sway kit from PartShippers.com.

I HOPE I didn't make a mistake with this buy, but from what I've read, both parts are excellent.

But damn.. I'm nervous.

I should pick my car up a few days before the kit gets here.. already bought Silverstars, too (had good experiences with them and love the output/brightness).

I think I caught the sickness..
Or it's the nervousness of spending $330 -/+ on something I've never ridden on, seen, or experienced for a car I've yet to bring home.

Good times.
