Sounds good to me. I'm going to be doing a TB this year, but will probably wait until fall.

FYI: I plan to have a heated garage this winter. :thumbsup:

Let me know what shop you go to JR, because I need to start pricing polaces out for a re front shoot on my wagon and a re-shoot on my bug. I'd be up for a garage day, I have a lot of stuff I need to do, unless it is an Audi only day. :D

I'm going to a place run by the auto auction...talk to Ben at Griffen's detail...he'll tell you where to go..the body shop's not public.

I got my bumper parts in this week so I'm going to start getting that fixed tonight and get the car in next week hopefully.

Ordered some new Aero wipers and a new rear ring badge for the back. Tried to find the interior light switch on ECS but couldn't :/ So I'm going to hit up my buddy at Avalon Motorsports.

Cool thanks, I was going to talk to him. Hisa dad owns the auto auction, I have heard they do good work as far as detailing goes.

Dropped the car of this morning. Got the USP lip mounted over the weekend, fixed the broken rebar mount and installed it CORRECTLY.

Got a new airfilter on it's way as well as new pads and rotors for the front.

When the car gets back to me, I'm taking it down to the Metric Wrench to get the A/C comp replaced. He quoted me a price just a tad cheaper than the dealership in Bozeman...and I don't have to drive.

I also have a Vibrant ultra-quiet resonator on it's way. Going to have that welded in so my car is mas quieter whilst cruising down the highways and byways.

Then I think I need to lay off the pretty "by now" buttons at online stores.

If you have any problems with Jerry.(I know some people have.) Let me know I can get you a quote on the ac pump installed all by an ASE Tech. He charges me and my customers 50 an hour. Just so you know you have options :)
