What have you done to your P5 today?

[thorracing271]

I hit a curb last night on my way home took a corner too fast.:mad: My tires are pretty damn low on thread and i lost traction on a sandy area, there was no tire screetching the car just all of a sudden slide straight and i hit the front passenger side. im at work so ill post pics of what it looked like after when i get home. ITS not pretty. And i dropped her off at the garage this morning!

Damn man, I had the same type of thing happen to me except I locked up my brakes. Same exact thing though, i smashed the passenger side wheel at like a 45 degree angle to the curb. Here is the link to my "rebuild" and message me if you have any questions.

Well, I finally got around to washing my car yesterday... first wash since installing my Canadian headlights and tinting all the other lights. What does that mean? PICS!

After looking at the pic from the back, I really need to add a light coat of nightshades to the 3rd brake light as well.

Also, is there a decent way to darken the foglights WITHOUT losing a whole lot of light output? I think it just looks weird having black headlights on the front and chrome fogs. Maybe painting the inside? Or a very light coat of nightshades? Thoughts?

maybe lamin-x it with smoke or any shade of black.

Replaced my wheel hubs and bearings. No fun but it I had to get rid of the vibration caused by mushroomed hubs.

Well the turbo install is around 1/3 to 1/2 done. It was halted by two problems. First, ATP sent me the wrong size banjo bolt and it can't fit in the back of the block for the coolant feed. Second, the guy that welded in my new o2 bung didn't drill the hole out enough for the wideband sensor to fit in it. A regular 02 sensor fits just fine but the o2 won't since it's wider. I'm calling every possible hardware and auto parts store tomorrow to see if they have the banjo bolt I'm looking for. If not, I have to call ATP and have them send me the right one which will take some time. I'm completely exhausted but I've taken a few videos at various stages of the install and have learned a bunch already. It'll all be worth it once it's all installed though

Thanks, I'm not really the biggest fan of tinted taillights either, but CAN be done on a black car. Just enough to take all the harshness of the red away, yet being able to get the most light output possible.

Anyone know where I can get the Xpel headlight/foglight kit at a decent price? I want to get clear for the headlights and yellow for the foglights.

Damn dude, I just sold my yellow pair of Expel on Friday....but you can contact Jackelope. I bought both my smoked and yellow from him in Group Buys.

Contact Jackelope to buy the smoked Expel protection kit. Very easy to apply and they look great. Only downside is output is greatly affected...something to keep in mind if you use your fogs.
