Thanks to Yuri for the gracious drive to Modesto, thanks for Bob and his family for the use of their driveway and garage. Thanks to Mark for pushing the envelope on what can and can't get you thrown out of a Border's.

It was a fun day with the added bonus of making some new friends. Thanks again guys.

I still think you guys should have yelled out "MARK, *****!" when I walked past that chick. Can't believe I missed that.

It's totally worth it, I love how it looks. My friend has a white '08 WRX and she wants to paint her headlights pink!

Dude, you are a headlight removal/insertion maestro. Seriously, thank you so much.

To relax I took a nice 30 minute shower when I got home.

You are forgetting the part where all 4 of us were driving in Mark's light-less/grill-less/blue-taped STi around some rather interesting areas

Okay, here are my before and after pics. Not the greatest since it either has been raining or too dark to take good pics outside.
