New guy

Hey guys,

Thought I would introduce myself, I hope to join the club if you'll have me. I'm hoping to make it to the breakfast meeting on the 15th with my application, and could make it to Lowe's on the 26th. I live in Dallas (not Texas), just North of Gastonia.

Anyway, just got my 2003 MCS about 2 months ago and I'm loving it. I have been modding Japanese cars (mostly Hondas) for years, this is my first Euro. She came pretty much loaded, premium, cold weather, and sport packages, nav (that doesn't work), pano roof, etc. Being that I can't ever leave a car stock, these are the mods I have done so far:

Eibach springs
SPC Camber plates
TSW rear control arms
m7 strut brace
DDM works intake
one ball exhaust
aero grill
window tint
18x7.5 Momo Rev wheels in anthracite
couple of different stripe configurations (see pics)-first I had some 10" wide viper style, now I'm running just the stripes on the fender (stole that idea from the Corvette Grand Sport).

Here's a couple before and after pics:







Hope to meet you guys soon.

Mark

Nice!!!
The side stripe on the fender, where did you stop it at..

If you want some blackout vinyl for your fog light area I have some pre cut..

Here's a pic that show the fender stripes a little better, basically I stopped them at the top of the curve. I already tinted my parking and fog lights but I do want to tint the headlights and tails.
