I love the look of chrome too, but I don’t want to go overboard with too much chrome hehe. Here are the rims I am looking at. They have a mix of Chrome and Black in them.

That was the best part, I don't know how he is expecting someone not to take the exotic out for a test drive when he openly admits that it has problems

It was a guy trying to trade his girl friend for a street bike. He gave a very "automotive" description of how well she "runs", looks, and her "aftermarket add ons" Then at the very end he put Serious Inquiries only, no test drives

How was everyone's weekend? Did any of you get to see UFC100? It was by far the best set of fights I have seen in a while. Brock Lesner hits like a coal train colliding with a brick wall at 100mph. Henderson's knock out was the best knock out I have seen in a long long time, it will be talked about for a long time. And St Pierre destroyed Tiago even with a torn groin muscle he got in the 3rd of the 5rd fight.

I had my truck detailed on Saturday by a friend of mine. Clay, 3 different levels of Meguiars cutting pastes, finished with Color X and some NXT 2.0 paste. Got done about 8:30pm. So, no real good shots of after. I'll get some before pics some soon.

I had to work saturday....was very boring and slow. Not much going on. So I got my oil changed, washed her up, wiped down the interior. Then when I got home I played around with some pinstripe tape. Nothing fancy and by far nothing perfect, just a quick 20 minute flame job.

Can't wait to see pics Jeremy I am sure that it looks amazing.

Ty are you thinking you are going to want a certain color flames? Or were you just playing around because you were bored? Either way I am liking the way they are layed out look really good for a quick 20 min job.

I don't know that I would ever paint flames on permanently. Just thought I'd see how it looks. It would be kind've neat though........Not sure what color I'd do either. Maybe a pearl blue or something? Lamborghini Orange is a SWEET color too so is their tri-coat pearl yellow. Or could just do ghost flames in pearl white that barely even show up.......

I think the pearl white would be sweet and very subtle. Even some light gray/black airbrush to highlight them a tad would look pretty sweet I would think

Krohbar, can't wait to see pics of your detail. JD790, I would think some subtle flames would be cool. Maybe Steeda can throw some ideas up here.
I'll have to take some pics of my cheap bike rack mode. 2x4, and a couple of fork clamps. Bungee corded down to the tie downs in the bed. Quick, stable and easy to remove. I'm on vacation this week, so should have some time for that. 05Sprcrw, I'll get ahold of you for some planning for my console. Think I'll mount my Gryphon down there, then we'll see what kind of fun we can have after that.

Sounds good jumpn shouldn't be to hard to do. I will definitely have some pics coming from fiberglass mods soon. I have a buddy that is wanting a custom bench in is car with a rear center console. I also might be doing another center console sub enclosure for a guy. But your first on the list jumpn just let me know what you have in mine and then we will be able to get the ball rolling. I am sure its going to be a very sweet project when we are done. I have yet to see a gryphon mounted like that.

Amp Question

Okay, so, my MRA-F350 (5x50) has a single MONO output for the sub.


The sub amp, MRP-M350 has input for L/R. I've been looking at MONO amps, and they all seem to have a L/R input.


Does it matter if I plug into the L or the R for the signal channel? Or, am I looking at the wrong amps??
