    Curious what Danny's thoughts are regarding inviting certain vendors to the event that could offer their services while we attend the event.

    SoCal has a lot of options for modification-friendly shops and for those of us coming from other parts of the country this may be a good opportunity to have works done at a reasonable price. The shops would be more likely to discount there work for such a concentrated group.

    Maybe we could post our modification wants in here and see if we have enough interest.

    Mine:

    #1 - Roof wrap
    #2 - Interior LEDs:

    Great idea, F8L. I'd love to hear what people are interested in and what specific vendor suggestions you all have.

    Rodney is actually handling all vendor sponsorships, so he has a handle on who we're targeting to be there.

    IF I were attending, I would be MOST interested in Hybrid battery testing/swapping modules as needed.

    Good idea Rae Vynn,
    Would be good if a Toyota Dealer that offered those kind of services could be there.
    Maybe even have the Toyota Dealer do a demo of their process and discuss pricing.

    How about a wire to get the front cell/power outlet to work all the time, like we had in the 2004 series?
