lol Chris has a really good DIY for the projector headlights. That's really all his work. I just followed his instructions, so I can't take credit for the projector headlights. As for fender rolling, I got the instructions from youtube! lol except youtube didn't mention how much you should heat the fender lip to prevent paint cracking (it should be hot enough to where you wouldn't want to lay your finger on the surface for more than two second).
And yes, painting is like my worse fear. I keep thinking, "what if they mess up" or "What if I didn't prep it good enough" or "What if the paint job turns out horrible" or "what if it doesn't last." Only place I can go to is Maaco and I have no idea what paint package I should go with.

haha, well my paint jobs always look horrible, but I rock em! My lip kit is currently painted by me... it looks fine and all, it's just not got any shine. I've never had trouble with prep going bad... just don't paint too thick or it will run. And my fender paints cracked off completely, so I'm gonna have to fix that cause it's just now starting to rust. But I had to push my fenders out wider in addition to just rolling them.

Kenny, mad respect bro, I know how yhou feel man, I've been single to for the most part of 2011. And I spent most of my time helping others. Not that anything wrong with that...but I've neglected myself almost. But def make God #1...the rest will fall into place after Him. I know this for a fact. This year I'm going hard with an FX bumper, and some other upgrades. Also I've met someone but wer just met...who knows. You can't ever tell, but I realized I had to get things straight with me first before I try to make a lasting relationship. And that's been my focus. I'm really workin hard on self inprovememnt this year so I can be ready for a good relationship and not some crappy lame ass bitch from a bar or some drugged up atheist lol. Yea,...I've had some crazy bitches, but I realize it's my own stupidity for even getting involved with them to begin with, jus so I wouldn't be alone. Stupid! So that's about it until 2013.
And I don't wanna hear no crap about the world ending this year. And if it does, y'all better be ready and be right with God so we can all be chillin in heaven. Don't make me come to Florida and start preaching to y'all fools lol!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Means a lot. ;D Speaking my mind again (again, I really don't expect anyone to read. It just helps me think when I type it out): Grades were finally released and I got a D+ in my Anthropology class at college. Need a C- to earn credit. Friggin sucks. Not the end of the world but man, do I feel like a friken failure. Stupid 4 page essay was for nothing. This is the second class I failed. Other one last semester was a Government class. Maybe college isn't for me. But finding a good job is so hard here in Cali without the right connections. Thoughts about moving back to Oklahoma where I'm guaranteed to get a job with my old man. I just gotta learn to step it up and get out of my comfort zone.

can you take the class again, so that it would be easier the second time? And I'm not sure if there are other details, but if you feel like your heart is back home in OK, then maybe move back?

Thanks man, good luck at the interview at carmaxx! Let us know how it goes.
And Chris, I will have to retake it again to get my GPA up. I just feel like it's a huge waste of time. As for Oklahoma, I really do want to move back. But I can't just up and leave my mom and siblings... yet. I'm just gonna have to deal with this issue like a man lol.

That is correct. Hmmm you know what I sort of dislike? When you compliment someone's car and they don't say thank you... they're just like, " Yeah I know." lol I don't know, I just kinda dislike it. Just speaking my mind here.

I like the Yaris model. I don't feel they are getting the attention they deserve. I think theres a lot of potential in those.
