Probably won't be until march sometime at the earliest sad to say. I'll let you know the next time I'm down there and we will go wheeling again. Still liking the ported throttle body? Improve fuel economy/ worsen it? Any difference in throttle response.

I like the PTB, it slightly improved my throttle response....but idk about fuel economy. I'm getting 11 mpg. Not sure if the numbers are right since the instrument cluster is off due to the larger tires.
It's March....let me know when you're down bud.

A few of you know already....but I kept most of you in the dark about this one. 
Lil Sparta decided she wanted new lights. Something to set her apart that few have....what should it be?
Build pic after last post with stock lights.
While the stock lights provided that iconic 'Hummer' look, we decided we wanted to move on to bigger and better things...
Then I came across the STARR HID's.....wow what a beauty! That was it, that was the look. And after talking to my good buddy Wfturner on the forums and on the phone a few times, I was convinced and had my mind set. Thanks again bud!
So I contacted Chris Nelson from Top Line Group Automotive, who specializes in aftermarket lighting. They even do custom specialty products. After a half hour of chit-chat, Chris made me a deal. Couldn't say no =)
The STARR HID's come stock with 35W ballasts and 4000K bulbs. Chris, being a nice guy and trying to promote his business, upgraded me to 55W ballasts and 6000K bulbs, and it STILL was cheaper than list price. =)
Check Top Line Group Automotive out, they have excellent customer service. TLG-Auto | Top Line Group Automotive 350z Fiero Corvette NSX and MR2 Lighting and Accessories I went through three wiring harness (two wrong ones but still usable) and he sent them out for nothing. Now I have extra parts. Haha, my garage is becoming full of Hummer parts.
Half-a$$ed fitment and lighting testing.
I have nothing but good things to say about them other than the price! They are complete housings. Full kit, not retrofitted. No baking the stock housings, no adding to the stock lights. Stock lights come off and put in storage! They can handle the higher temperatures that many ebay cheap-o's might not. Purpose built, again nothing but good things to say!
I had to cut a small 2 by 2 inch square from the headlight mounts for the back of the projector to fit though. They are about 2-3 inches longer than stock.
More pics in a bit!
