how the hell did you blow 2 trannies in 2 weeks? Powershift much?

Alright, here's where the fogs sit currently

Total cost $20 for high temp epoxy to seal the back up

Now, I'm looking for ideas to fill in the rest so you can't see the epoxy. Chico suggested cutting up some lamp innards. Anybody got any ideas??

 

[Foolish]

Um, maybe smooth/flatten the epoxy and paint it flat black?

Otherwise, I hear fake carbon fiber is all the rage with "the kids" these days!

 

[whitemp5seattle]

I would also suggest black - kinda matches the headlights that way I guess?

 

[Chicoloco]

Maybe a real CF sheet and cut a round piece to cover it up, like i did?

 

[MP5_Joe]

(stupid) That would look pretty kool. Either that, or get some fleese, and fiberglass yourself something. You could even paint match (hey, some people like it)

 

[Nomad]

Made some red signal overlays. I think I like it better than the 4 clear circles.

I installed struts I bought from Wilson(willkill). Oh man, what a difference! The right front strut was completely blown. As soon as I unscrewed the top nut, the shock retracted. The right rear would shoot out when pushed down on. It was weird. I changed out all four, might as well have some with lower miles. I took the car for a test drive and loved it.

I'm curious about one thing though. What gets thrown out of whack in the alignment when changing out the struts? I haven't taken the car yet. Will I need the four-wheel alignment, or just the front? Or will I need it at all? Thanks in advance.

Camber seems to be the main thing... I personally would do all four just to make sure everythings running right as you truly don't know if the back was off to begin with.

Just my 2 cents
