Here's a question. So I got the shifter installed, and its nice and crisp going into the gears (I just have to tweak it to the right just a hair)... but while its in a gear, I still have some play being able to jiggle it from side to side. Is there anything I can do to tighten this up? Or what is causing that play? Its gotten a bit worse since I first bought the car, and I know Im kinda hard on my shifters... I just want to know if there is something I can replace or tighten up that will get rid of this as well.

My question is, am I in the wrong for voicing that I am uncomfortable with the fact that the photographer is a guy.... and I can imagine when I look at said pictures, that I wouldnt be able to get over the fact that another guy was taking almost nude pictures of my woman, rather than enjoy the sexy nature of the photograh themselves?"
As a photographer who has done boudior shoots i dont really see the issue. Male or female the photographer is just that, the photographer, and should be professional about the whole thing. That said, i know a couple ladies who take friends with them to certain types of shoots just to be safe. I am a model and am dating a model now as well and have always had trust issues with people, but ive learned that sometimes you need to just trust and if they break that trust, then hit the road. In your case, if she is getting them done for you, then dont go, dont worry about who is taking them and look forward to a surprise of sexy photos!

Mark with vinyl you guys have access too, how close can you come to the look of clear coated cf? i don't want to spend $2K for a cf roof sheet but i'd want to match my hood and trunk if i got some oem cf pieces.
