Being one of the newer people in here, I don't really know all that much about this forum (where it came from, how long it has been, etc..), but I am all for change as long as it is a good change, and in the right direction. If everyone else is for the change, then I'm for it. If not, then oh well.. But I am definitely for doing whatever possible to help out each and every Diamante owner that is wanting in any way to customize or better the look of their car.

So, what I am trying to say is - I'm behind you Mike. Go for it.. Until it is up, we will still have this forum to use. What's everyone else thinking???
