Nice. Your main grille is a direct swap, but are the fogs?

You're still going to have to buy a lower grille... or are you going to do something custom?

3 days is too long, sir.

Main grille is a direct swap and so is the fog lights themselves. I have to to purchase new fog light grilles, fog light bezels, and a new lower center grille, specifically one that has a cutout for ICC.

Just realized timing for this meetup, timing too tough for me (work + school), will be interested during summer if things start popping, (at least cars & coffee))

Once you get that down, everything else is a breeze.
True, since I barely drive I keep having to re-learn
Been driving manual for a while, but IMO the G has a tricky clutch, might just be me...

no it's not just You... the G does have a tricky clutch... in May it will be a year since I got my car, since then I have replaced the clutch spring to the bit softer one and I still sometimes get a little weird with my clutch, like I am used to it but sometimes I'm not, it's just weird I can't describe it

Swapping out the clutch return spring solved the tricky clutch for me. It's a cheap and easy mod.

If you want something much, much better, but still uniquely Rochester, go to the Dinosaur BBQ. Granted it started in Syracuse, but still... incredible ribs.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que - Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
Dino is awesome too. I was going to head there while in Buffalo but went to Duff's instead. The garbage plate is ratty nasty but it's a rite of passage no? At least that's what they told me when I went... If you want ribs though... I am in Memphis. Truth be told, I usually skip the BBQ here unless I have visitors. Gus' fried chicken though... I'm all in!

Williamsport or Scranton is close to family for me at least though I'm not crazy about Scranton, other than Dunder Mifflin, but I'd be game for that most likely. Wherever you guys wind up deciding on I'll make if I can. Just got several additional projects thrown at me today that I'm trying to spec out.

Nice. Does google earth/maps let you pin multiple locations on the same map? Curious what that would look like. I suspect a Northern PA destination makes more sense than Albany.

The KY and TN members could probably connect for the drive up.

I suspect most of us are 9 to 5 , M - F. So it's likely we're looking at a Saturday event. And this many people, we should maybe target a public park destination for the day, then dinner.

Just because I'm clueless, why would you need new bezels? ICC?

I so hate admitted I'm lost...
