Like Ice Cube said, "Today was a good day"

[el Vato]

I went out for lunch. I was driving over to First Wok in Sunnyvale for some Chinese food. I was waiting to make a left turn from El Camino Real onto Bernardo. I could see a group of construction guys all huddled up like they always are, 5 surrounding 1 or 2 who are really doing the real work of digging. One of those guys turns around and stares at me or my car, I hadn't made the distinction yet. The light turns green and I'm turning towards them. As I'm getting closer the guy staring yells out, "that is sick!" I nod my head as a thanks since that was my first instinct. He caught me off guard. I didn't expect a yell that loud. Before startling me, I thought ok he must like my car and he's just going to give it a look. However the yell threw me off. I had my windows down and I could've said thanks but the surprise sort of embarrassed me. All in all, the event lifted my spirits. I wasn't exactly in a happy mood. The guy that yelled doesn't know how good that made me feel. Now it's time to Pay-it-Forward.

Any of you gone through something similar lately?

Is that the lowest setting on the GC's?

[GTFan712]

Somewhat. I was at the dealer for my oil change, and when I handed the car over to the Service Specialist, he gave me a nice comment about my interior lights. He asked where I had them installed. I told them I did them myself, and he seemed surprised.

Maybe it's the fact that half the people who see them call them rice, but having a compliment come from a guy who works for Honda, from something that only cost $60 and a few hours of labor was pretty neat.

No but the stock shocks lose their dampening force the lower you go. I can easily tuck my wheels in the wells.

I actually went to Caesar over at lightwerkz...I didn't get a retrofit, I really wanted too but couldn't afford it at the time.
I just added the 4 halos and hid to the stock projectors

Everytime I go to the dealer they always make a comment on how my car looks better than new... it has 16X,XXX miles on it! Not a swirl to be found. Engine compartment, door jambs, interior carpet.. clean as a whistle - They also comment on how nice the 8th gen wheels look on my 7th gen.

I went to a autobody repair shop looking for a small scrap panel to do some peoduct testing on and the guy saw my car and said "damn that's shiny, looks like you have multiple layers of clear on that bad boy"... I !
