found some old MINI pics

MINI options

bored and messing with MINI configurator.  playing with the idea of upgrading from my old MCS to a JCW. I don't really need a higher car payment, but my old MCS is getting up there in age.  It is 10 years old now, which is funny to think it is as old as my 1992 acura integra was when I bought it in highschool.

JCW Coupes

JCW hardtops (hatchbacks)

phantomskinz vs di-noc DIY wrap

the 3m di-noc is glossier and richer in color than the phantomskin wrap.

bored lighter pics

got some 3m di-noc

not sure what parts of the MINI or STI to wrap yet...thinking about the center console on the STI and maybe the dash of the MINI.  so far just practicing on some small stuff.

first try wasn't perfect but good practice

new mods!

got the new parts in the mail

original look

swapped out pickup rings

swapped knobs too

swapped truss rod cover

FINALLY got my guitar

so the Gibson Classic Custom in ebony that I ordered 12/31/11 ETA update is late April.  I decided that I wanted to see what else was available IN STOCK at Sweetwater since the Classic Custom is sold out everywhere.  I decided to go with a Classic Plus with the transparent ebony finish.  Here are a few pictures.  It came to my door 2 days after switching the order.

First mods for it are arriving today!

- black top hat knobs

- blank truss rod cover

- black pickup rings

- black input surround

- de-poker chipped toggle switch

- black toggle switch tip

still deciding if I want to put a chrome humbucker cover on the neck and leave the bridge open like my other Les Paul
