Hey Rob,
I am not ready but should be in a few weeks, other than new tires, brake pads and fluid maintenance I am ready.
Ear plugs, I wear them all the time when driving the Miata, cuts out the drone, and I can still hear the radio when turned way up.

yes yes i'll get pics up tomorrow. picked them up last night at Dan's (Roflcopter) house. then spent the rest of the night reading for class today haha. still haven't written my memo for class which is at 3... but have work until then so it won't get done good thing about masters program is that deadlines are a little bit more lax than undergrad hehe
I will tell you that they are a VIBRANT gold alloy powder coat and pictures do them no justice. I was having buyers remorse bout getting OZ ultraleggera 18" 8 and 9 wide front and rear respectively (instead of saving for the 949 that i've wanted since before they came out). but as soon as i saw these puppies all of that remorse left and i can't wait to get them installed!

Matt, borrow a Bose QC2 noise cancelling headset for the drive and hook it up to an mp3 player and you'll be set. I also put in an extra seat bottom cushion for the drive to VIR. The biggest pain was foot cramp. The cruise control wasn't working at the time and it made the drive really suck. I'm focusing on getting the comp license right now but I may make the run to VIR later in the year.
Rob, do cheaper versions of these headsets work well too? I don't really want to spend 300 bucks on a set.

I don't know about other noise cancelling headsets but you'd probably need an over-the-ear type to help with the loud drone of a modified exhaust. I have a QC2 that I bought to use as an aviation headset but Southwest outlawed their use because when the batteries go dead you can't hear the aircraft radios. I'll loan mine to you if we see each other before VIR.

I bought mine years ago, and they no longer make the exact model, but this is what I'm talking about: http://www.amazon.com/Shure-SE115-K-.../dp/B001TDMVO0
