I installed the MagnaFlow Catback Exhaust on my P5 today. Very nice I have to say. And last night I installed Silverstars in my Highand Low Beam Headlights, and also the fogs. Nice bulbs for the price.

My fellow guy's that are lowered with DG lip, How do you change your oil? I have to remove it everytime.....gots to be a jack that can get under there.
I use the a car lift at my work so I can stand under it, but I've also used a jack I got at Shucks or Sears that has a low clearence to jack it up before.

Looks really good. Have you considered painting the badges black? I think it would go really well with the overall loook of your car.
 
I'm gonna tint my badges... (VHT window spray tint) I heard Chrome + Tint = Hyperblack...

That's a great idea! Wow. too bad my badges are already black or I would love to try that.
 
Oh yeah yesterday I made the switch from Mobil1 to Redline oil. Also, one of the hose clamps on my intake decided that it was time to die. Something about my CAI being bolted directly to the chassis (without that rubber piece because I lost that) and my rear motor mount in all likelihood being completely torn (I have the AWR front mount and she bucks like crazy still, it's awful) caused a bit too much stress on the clamp right after the elbow off the throttle body. Since it is past the MAF that the pipe came off, well you could imagine how much fun that was. I was downtown so it's not like I could have easily pulled over, and it stalled out a couple times because it was very difficult to keep the RPMs up while trying to stop at lights.

I kept pushing the tipe back on and trying to get the clamp to tighten and it would work for another 5-10 minutes. So yeah, eventually I broke down and went to one of the most evil and hated (I know I do) places in the world.. Wal-Mart. It was after midnight so I didn't have much choice.

Does anyone know of any decent quality hose clamps that aren't like 20 dollars a piece? I know I also need some sort of flex connector too so that the intake can bend a little.
 
finally got my 17's back on for the summer season, better late than never, gonna put my black tailights on tomorrow, wash it up Sunday and hopefully get some new pics on here, especially to update from the last time i posted pics.
