    It almost looks like an extension of the stripes, wait till I take pics tomorrow, it will look even better.

    I should also mention that my buddy Hectour also installed a front support brace. I should've taken a pic of the 2 of them side by side. The stock one was rather thin and used 4 bolts to hold it in place. Then there's the aftermarket one, twice as thick and held in place with 2 bolts, plus powder coated in gloss red, too bad you can't see it but it's there now! This is going to firm things up producing less flex but has also created a slippery slope as there's more chassis bracing to buy, they go in the front wheel well and are produced by RRM and are tubular in shape. These will be bought and installed in the future but not too far into the future, before the Dragon run for sure Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts?

    Because I helped out a friend, Ted with that Ruby Red GT500, he took it upon himself to return the favor and I didn't see it coming because I just wanted to help out a friend with his dream car! I should also mention that my other buddy, Steve who owns Xtreme Graphics in Lombard Illinois, took it upon himself to stripe it like my car (a little different but that's ok) I can't remember this many random acts of kindness to come my way 😂

    Now this car...yes it's a MINI but for a 18 month old, well, it's close enough and has more options than my own car, including LED headlights even! It also has an aux port for playing music through the phone. Finally it has a remote control as well, unbelievable!

    My wife brought her Mazda 6 up there to pick it up but sadly it doesn't fit, so I'm going to ask my buddy Hectour's wife to pick up for us as she has an xB.

    It's been an awesome day, first the Iron Gate show and then going to my buddy's graphic shop and being presented with my daughters first car Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts? Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts?
