What have you done to your P5 today?

[Foolish]

With the holes, it looks like you've installed your fog lights into a bagel!

Keep in mind that too much body filler in one spot will crack. Lamp heat may make it worse. It's still probably your best bet for those holes, though.

LOL . They do look like bagels!!

As to the body filler, it'll only be to fill the air bulbbles to make a nice smooth surface. I guess only time will tell

 

[mx-p5]

Question to all. What numbers do you need off my car to find out if I am in the "Recall" area to get VTCS fixed at the dealer??

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

your VIN

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

 

[mx-p5]

Lemme go write it down. Before I go buy another intake mani i want to know if I can get it fixed fo free

 

[Nomad]

I'm hungry now.

Is the stock glass cover going back on? I assume no.

Good job coming up with your own DIY, I give you credit for that. Better to do something than nothing.

 

[mx-p5]

Nope no glass. I am thinking on now doing some like, chicken wire, painted flatblack to cover the "bagel"

I had the spare projectors, and, figured I'd make a "one-off" set of foglights. Hopefully they turn out nice in the end.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Did the DIY on here for the bottom rear valance...turned out REALLY good...

 

[Foolish]

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Well, you can never be too careful. Eating a bagel on a foggy morning can be dangerous.

Put in some PIAA 40 Series fogs. Bright lights...

As long as no deer try eating my bagel foglights while I'm driving, I'll be happy

filled up the tank last night, was $40 something dollars i dunno lol. I did however calculate our mpg since the last fill-up just to see and it looks like we're floating around 25 mpg which isnt bad given the way i drive and that its a manumatic...

oh, and thats 100% city driving.

oh man, you say that but... while I was towing down through FL last week. I got on I-10 east, about a mile passed the "Entering Ocala National Forest" sign, there were 3 deer, eating no more than 3 feet off the interstate. SCARED THE CRAP out of me, because I've seen how unpredictable those things can be. 1/3 of the time they sit still, 1/3 of the time they jump out of the way, and the other 1/3 of the time, they jump right in front of the car. I was doing 75 with a trailer behind me, and I only saw them as the edge of the headlight beams went over that side of the road. I wouldn't have had ANY time to react. I'm more careful in rural GA, because I'm used to there being deer around, but I've never seen them on I-10 in FL.

Same night, maybe 2-3 hours later, I passed a wreck where a car had hit a deer on the right hand side, and spun into the wall, 180*, on the left side of the road. Emergency vehicles were on the scene

You'd think those things would be smarter....

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

s***, you think the deer are bad, you should try dancing on the roads w/ these damn squirrels... I swear they do s*** on purpose...

They'll fly into the road, stop, look at you, act like they;re going to cross only to reverse and shoot back the other way causing you to slam on your brakes...

 

[mx-p5]

A deer actually destroys your car, squirls, minor speedbump

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

thats if you choose to runover them....car destruction can come to those who swerve and lose it...

[mx-p5]

I don't swerve for squirls if there are other cars around. I may brake, but, not slamming em. I'd rather hit a squirl than get hit by the car behind me whose driver is texting, doing her hair, or fiddling with the radio

 

[aMaff]

s***, you think the deer are bad, you should try dancing on the roads w/ these damn squirrels...

Y'all must have some big ass squirrels in tampa! (rofl)

For something as small as a (georgia) squirrel, I don't even slow down. I'll try to dead-center them so I don't hit them with a tire if I have room, but I'm not swerving / hitting the brakes.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lol well one isnt so bad, but its the gangs of them that can cause a problem, they become like Voltron....
