It is going to be in Coburg, about 2 miles north of Eugene. I will be there both days

Gonna have to pass Aaron just to damn busy and i am starting the planning phase to move into our new home so hopefully you can make it up to Whidbey on October 5th for the camping weekend planned?

I'm learning that the flexible polyurethane material is just a bugger to get things to stick to it. I'm glad I didn't attempt the painting myself, and if there are problems later, I know Center Collision will take care of it.

Trust me when i say the key to painting that kind of plastic is to bake it at high heat with a inhibitor first to remove all the oils in the plastic itself, then painting it should be a breeze!

They turned out great! There is a thread in the cosmetics & lighting forum for painted headlight housings so you should post some pictures in there too!

I just mounted it and it looks great!

I bought the splitter on Ebay through Xcess Motors. $145 and free shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/130713702263...84.m1423.l2649

Center Collision in Tacoma painted it. Turned out pretty good. They have a little cut and buff to do now that it's mounted. It took them a couple tries to paint it because there was release agent or some "out gassing" that caused issues in the oven. The third time they skipped the oven. About $180 for paint and clear.

Tomorrow Guardline is putting the Carbon Fiber vinyl on the roof and the bow ties. After three years, it's about time to do a little tweaking on the exterior.

I like it a lot Ken looks fantastic! Can't wait to meet up again. Are you folks going to make it to the final meet up of the year at Deception Pass State Park? You and the wife should come out at least for the cruise up Chuckanut Drive?

I would love to join sounds fun. About camping, I don't know how all that is set up, what's the camp site fee and is it all spread out? I don't have a trailer or anything like that. It would be me and my camaro. lol

Is this Tim Pham? If so you can camp on our site and Jen & Shawn have a campsite and i don't think they would mind if you pitched a tent on their site? Maybe they can chime in if their site even allows tents a long with their trailer? Mine does but some don't Tim. We are staying in Deception pass State Park.
