Meh, I liked the white better but the paint came out good, good job son

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Thanks...I really just needed something different...and the white was a PITA to clean...

 

[xDJ DUBx]

So I've heard lol.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

True...lol...they were more like grey wheels...I only wiped them off to take pics...

Comments people! (thinkbeer

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Let me know which you prefer, the fx-r or these ones for the retrofitting.

Um... good job?

They look like HIDs?

Why would we comment on a pile of parts? Put 'em on the car then ask for comments lol

Well here's a wee little comparison:

Mine (FX-R):

Customer (mini):

These mini projectors perform wonderfully!

 

[xDJ DUBx]

are the kelvin temps the same?

 

[Matt V]

No, they used a different bulb to compare since the FX-R uses D2S and the mini uses H1.

very nice matt

btw has anyone polished their MSP Racing Hart rims??
my rims are curbed from previous owner and im gettin sick of these rims' color and want them polished or going to get me a set of 18" Enkei RPO3's SBC finish or picking up a nice set of Works XD9 18"

So, how do we take the glass off of the side mirrors...I need to know cause we are installing puddle lights tomorrow...

Thanks...

 

[SASK P5]

That looks sweet! so did you just use a fine tipped brush for the red striping?

I painted about four coats red then 2 coats black the used 600 grit sandpaper and sanded the black off then put a couple coats of clear on it.

Finally did the seafoam, seems to idle a bit smoother. I also cleaned the my air cleaner, its in bad shape, guess I will be buying another one. I think my son (10) has been in my tools, couldnt find anything to change oil, belts and rear trailing link things(that attach to swawbars).....oh.......end links......I bought some replacement ones from Oreillys.
Going on a little road trip, so I filled it up, 6 gallons...165 miles..about 27mpg.....hopefully gonna keep the speed down on this trip to see how it does.
