Deeper Than You Think

Kal Penn is an actor that you might only know from the Harold & Kumar series. Silly, campy and over the top; it was basically Half Baked for the new age. He has done other notables to include Superman Returns.

My favorite character of his was Dr. Lawrence Kutner on the TV series HOUSE. He was smart and brought a lot of wit to the show. Well last week (spoiler for those that didn't see it). They found him dead in his apartment with a gun shot wound to the head, presumably a suicide. They never showed Kal himself, only a lifeless body in a pool of blood with his head turned away. At the end of the show they showed a memorial that led some to speculate that Kal Penn the actor had indeed died prior to the show.

Well of course the internet ran rampant that he was really dead and that's why they didn't show his face..............to he was murdered on the show and both in real life.

Well for all of you out there that are fans of the show here is the REAL skinny (if you dont know already) from Kal Penn.

In short he has accepted a job with the Obama Administration. So no matter how a character is played understand that its just that, a character. As far as civil service goes, it pays pennies on the dollar compared to what he was making on HOUSE so that just shows that passion will trump money in terms of happiness much of the time.

Well played Kal well played.

Here is the video response to his untimely demise:

For those of you that know me well, you know that I love my cars. One of the reasons that I dig cars as much as I do is because you can make them extensions of you. Plain and simple. From the interior to the exterior no matter what. Seats, steering wheels, dash kits, rims, paint etc. The list goes on and on.

Well I found that some modifications are easier than others. If you go back to some of my blogs last year you will see that I switched out my head lights and taillights. Well about that same time I wasn't really feeling the wood grain (cause I really am not the wood grain type). So I scoured the internet looking for carbon fiber dash kits that were REAL carbon fiber. Real carbon fiber has a deep almost 3D when its flat look to it. Also it isn't cheap.

Well after finding and purchasing my Silver Carbon Fiber interior trim kit and receiving it in the mail I tried a few test fits in the car. Well during the test fitting process I came to realize that the wood was not at all for show. No decals here. These were actual pieces. So I couldn't try and cover the wood with the carbon fiber cause that would look tacky as all get out. So I set out on a quest to find all of the wood grain pieces in my car in all black. Surely they make them right?????

Well here it is a full year and $200 later and I have finally finished. What you are about to see loses EVERYTHING in translation. What it took me to get from Wood to carbon is a story in itself however I will spare you all of that and just post a few pics of the old vs the new look.

I personally love the new look. That's my thing though. Some of you might dig the wood grain (prudes, lol) It was just too common and boring all at the same time. I felt like I was inside of a casket half of the time sitting in rush hour traffic.



Enjoy!
