Message	I've found that it is ALWAYS a good idea to double check the machine shop's work, no matter how good their reputation. And, yes, this board is full of haters. Get used to it. A large proportion of members on this board are well educated and more conservative in their opinions of aesthetics. In other words, we basically think that body kits which destroy the lines of the car and purple neon brake caliper accents are fucking stupid. Posted by: Z U N L on December 09, 2003 at 7:09 PM
