Seriously, how do you graduate high school with spelling like that?

SPELL CHECK I graduated in 2003 so we had MS word and I used the hell out of it I have always sucked at spelling.

hmmmmm....Einstein apparently couldn't spell either. Seems like there may be some inverse relationship between genius and ability to spell.

This forum really needs a spell check feature. Armystars directions for this mod are excellent, but his spelling is horrible. He spells everything exactly how it sounds. It makes him look like he has a 4th grade education. Seriously, how do you graduate high school with spelling like that?

Man those things look sick. I would like to do that mod but it makes me a bit nervous. But then again, all the mods make me nervous. Hmmm.

Just my luck! The needle stays in this position and doesn't move. Must have re-installed it wrong. Is there a way of adjusting the needle without busting it back open? I doubt dealers would go through what I did to fix it....lol. If not, then I'll have to take it back apart (pouts). Oh well, I wanted to clean up the bit of silicon showing anyway! lol.

I followed ARMYSTAR's directions almost to the tee! Instead of cutting the trim ring and leaving tabs, I used a dremmel to gently grind down the rounded ends and pried open the 2 remaining long sides. Piece of cake. I painted the completed housing black, and, bada bing. Sorry the pics are blurry. Stuck a pic of my Punisher key in there as well. This face looks perfect in the dark. Very kewl, very cheap mod!Thanks ARMYSTAR!!!

Not to intrude (seriously just being helpful) I got his email address from ArmyStar and so I don't know if the 'face-painter' wants it posted (I've asked him). Therefore I PM'd his email address to you. ArmyStar, do you think this is a good way to handle this?

DOH! The website is in the first post and I guess I skipped over it, BIG HOMER DOH!
