So I was planning on taking another week of vacation this week, but around Wednesday of last week, the weather forecast was showing rain here in Houston on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week, so I decided to pass on vacation (can't play with my cars when it's raining!) and started booking appointments for work. Well, "Murphy" has entered right on schedule, and now the weather is looking absolutely gorgeous for the majority of the week.....

Decided to go ahead and get tires today. Ending up with the Firestone Destination LE2. 5lbs less than the Coopers and buy 3 get 1 free is hard to beat.

I'm so close on the headlights. Need to seal the backs off, drive it, final aiming, and reinstall lens.

I'm atleast 50 hrs in it at this point

Being for an EB they'd be considerably slower than a 5.0 variant

You'd have to double seal them.. EB is so fast it will rip the lense right off.
