There's gotta be more than one way than those roads, i'd rather drive a little longer to stay on better roads. But if it's 5 months away count me in! Plenty of time to prepare but i may be running stock first time around. CDV delete is a soon must as is the hybrid racing bushings and RMM (or epoxy filled) not sure yet.

Tis worth it. The closest city is Knoxville and the Dragon itself is in TN. The roads in NC just over the border are equally as good and without the police/tourist/harley presence.

Please don't install these because I will end up needing to buy them after I see.
I cannot install the ones I have because they are too big, but I plan on trying to custom fabricate some in a size that fits.

I have a lot of work to do on the car in the next few weeks.

Find a shop to clone my TPMS sensors.
Clean the calipers up and repaint them since they will be more visible.
Do the fab work for the Konis.
Find some decent red lugs.
Get an alignment done since I will be pulling the struts out.
Maybe find some white caps with red H's.

Don't bother with the red lugs....they will be pink in a short period of time.

The red tow hook I have is already turning and it has been on the car for maybe a month.

Well, I sure as hell don't want black or chrome on white wheels.

If you're ok with buying a new set every couple years the $25 sets of basic spline drive lugs from NLmotoring aren't bad. I have the black ones and they are a little rusty after a couple years but really not bad at all considering how cheap they are. Besides if the red fades in a season you're only $25 for a new set. They are definitely painted so being careful when installing will help. I get mine done the quick way at Sears and they just hit em fast as they can with an impact gun. Considering that abuse the finish holds up pretty well.

Ooh the price went up, $26.99 now... hahaha

Pretty sure those are one of the sets I have looked at getting. I don't need anything fancy. Just something that will look good with the wheels and calipers.
