Post by: Screaming M42 on June 23, 2008, 10:02:04 AM: from the dealer? no kidding. i never even though to check there.. as for the fogs, i have been watching ebay like a hawk. they seem to be going for 50-70 bucks. (:

hey preston, i am a mechanic on personal aircraft. we service some commercial planes, but only piston propeller planes. no turboprops or jets ):

i just started there 7 or 8 months ago, but every once in a while, my boss lets me certify that it is safe to fly! spooky huh.

Ya I bet its spooky for you! Are you interested in getting your pilots license?

Oh here is probably the best price for an IS lip

All the prices are shipped! Check parts yards for fog lights. (I used a piece of plexiglas and painted it black but it doesn't look as "Finished") -Preston

Post by: Screaming M42 on June 24, 2008, 09:49:59 PM: yeah. i will starting lessons to get my license here pretty soon. luckily im pretty good friends with some cfi's so i get free fly time. but i cant afford the fuel. it seems like they will foot the bill because it is free time for them too. (: how about you? do you fly?

Post by: 318kid on June 24, 2008, 10:42:18 PM: Ya, Gas is expensive! I fly a little, I soloed last August, and I'm (hopefully) going to start on getting my Pilots license. My dad was my cfi, which made it nice. I think there are a few pilots on this board. -Preston

Post by: phillipk on June 24, 2008, 11:50:55 PM: Nice e30! The Bereyesa Pick and Pull will have e30's, but I'm not sure if I've spotted any fog lights there.

Do you work on the smaller airport off Coleman Ave?

And I've been interested in getting my PPL too (license suspended might as well right!), do they do that over there?

Post by: Jimmy Lewis on June 27, 2008, 09:33:26 PM: You're car looks exactly like mine, except I painted the iS spoiler black and took off my centercaps, mine screams too, haha. Those are some sweet pictures, the second one from the bottom would make an awesome sig with some cropping. After editing a typo, I realized I just reached "Advanced Member" status, sorry carry on.
