Video and Pictures: HKS and Kuruma

Well, I drove home to Clearwater today after my class at UCF. On the way home, I was radared going 85 in a 70. So now I have a nice $185 ticket to pay. I arrived home with 3 large boxes in the garage. One box contained the Kuruma front bumper and the other two boxes were for the HKS exhaust.

I just got home maybe 30 minutes ago and cannot wait to go drive it again. I cannot keep the smile off my face . The HKS sounds F'ing fantastic. Yeah...I typed F'ing...that's how excited I am. My girlfriend's dad and I installed the exhaust in 2 hours. This was my first time doing something like this...I actually enjoyed it. Now I just have to take it easy after getting the damn ticket...it will be tough.

The Kuruma bumper looks sweet. I did not see any imperfections in the bumper. I'm taking it to Richard at All-Fleet Services on Monday after my classes.

Pictures and videos will be up sometime this weekend.

520 is bad. I take it everyday to and from work. There is always undercover cops. Was it the maroon car or the white mini van?

UPDATE:

I dropped off the bumper yesterday with Richard at All-Fleet Services. He said due to the cold weather yesterday and today, we would not be able to paint it until at least Wednesday. He said that I will be able to pick up the bumper by Friday at the latest...but with Wes' experience, I won't be too disappointed if it's not ready until next week.

Well, here are a few crappy pictures of the HKS and a video clip of the reving up. I will get a good video someday in the future....hopefully this weekend with my friend's video camera.
