I found out today what Monday's bonus will be. Wasted no time in ordering some Carrera S chrome 18's when I got home from work. Probably going with some BFG KDWs. Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

Anyone know a good deal is on chrome caps with a painted crest? The chrome ones at Wheel Dynamics have a black crest. Got a request in to Sunset on a price quote. Think a painted crest would look killer. Feel free to PM me so I don't hijack this thread.

Isn't capitalism great?

you what's going to be funny is...if our other half, spouse, g/f or how ever you want to call it accidentaly stumble on this forum and found this thread and start reading all about the bonuses that you guys hide from them..hahahahahahaha! :dance:

UnkleKraker, you can get some very nice colored factory center caps from Sunset for about $135 a set. There are two types... mine have no ring around them, and no holes and are made out of metal, not plastic. They are painted to match the rims too.

No pull holes = much harder to steal.

I bought a set of center caps the day I bought my carrera lights from the same place you bought them. The other posters are right... the ones that come with the rims suck! But they aren't stickers. They're screen printed and scratch off quite easily.

As far as tires go, he was selling them with Hancock or whatever tire and I just called after the auction closed and said "how much to upgrade to PS2's?

$2300 shipped to me with PS2's.

Thanks Randall for the tip. I didnt know that there are 2 types of center caps. So when I order it thru Sunset, should I mention about "no pull holes"?

I was going to upgrade for a better tire but gotta save some for wifeys set Gucci bag (she's been wanting to get those for years now) and to replace her beat up Gucci key chain...I just want to make sure that she's happy before I pull the trigger for next years GT3 kit

I have the same wheels you have (your old ones) and like the ones you're getting! Those are the ones I want! Sadly, I doubt my bonus in a couple weeks will be much, if anything at all.

RandallNeighbour · 03-10-2007, 05:22 AM

Unkle, I will dig up the part number (I still think I have the box in my tool chest) and photograph the center cap for you and post it here.

I think my caps are the best looking ones out there. Big logo, full color, painted metal cap, no holes, etc.

The only problem is that without pull holes, you have to remove the rim to get them off without damaging the rim prying them out.

Cool, Randall! greatly appreciated....
Oh, also, if you can, send the link to the sunset store

Thanks...

Can't sleep last night, it's like waiting for Santa Claus but this time he's on a big truck with a big FedEx sign :dance:

Got my bonus on the 5th. Unfortunately, my mechanic told me that the "transmission flex plate" was cracked on the Benz and would cost around $2000 to replace ( have to drop the transmission to fix ).

So looks like the muffler, intake, and chip for the Box will have to wait

Plus, I only took home 62% of my bonus after taxes

BONUS? You all get a Bonus? Last I checked I had to Pay the EMPLOYER just to be the EMPLOYEE! :ah:

unklekraker · 03-12-2007, 11:54 AM

? hopefully it won't happen to my benz or else I have to return the Gucci stuff i bought for my wife

James, i told wifey on my next bonus, my boxster will grow up just like yours. she overheard me and robert (blinkwatt) talking about vegas, your side skirt and front lip and on the way home she asked what Vegas, Skirt and Lip are you talking about?

That’s awesome, Vegas was nuts that weekend! Now which part did he mention? The part of the topless/boob flashing by the pool? Or the random girl who came up to me asking if she can wash her guarder belt on my stomach? OR the hostess who wouldn't seat us at Wolf Gang Puck until I put a shirt on (Robert BOOed her on that one ahahahahaha).

Oh man it was good stuff. It would be great to have a 986Forum Meet in VEGAS! You hear that everyone 986Forum Meet in Vegas. Young Guns, Old Cats all Welcome.

Sorry for the thread Hi Jacking....

Have a nice day!

unklekraker · 03-12-2007, 02:37 PM

nope, he didn't mention anything specific...but now that you have mention it, I will come up with an excuse that theres a mandatory "boring" boxster event in Vegas that i have to attend with you guys.
