Now see thats the color blue I would love to have the xB in. If they make it in that color for next years RS I am gonna be so freakin pissed. Although I couldn't wait for next year anyways.

Very nice job on the painting.

Finally got around to doing some of the touch-ups on my engine cover.  Here's the first pic I took of it



This is a better picture, and this is after my Engine Torque Damper install!

I'll let you know in a day.  I've got some pluses and minuses on it, but I'm gonna write an install tutorial.  I'll put all my comments on there.  It's a real easy install, but I figure the more tutorials we have on the site, the bettter.
