My Ricey whip taken w/CRAPPY CAMERA!

[jonlisle20]

Old digital camera; but it's the only one I got. You really can't tell much from the crappy pics, but what do you think?

I'm definitely getting the clear side markers to go along with the Pro5 headlight conversion. As soon as I get money....................so.........never. (Yes $40 is hard to come by in the winter for a car fanatic landscaper in Jersey......well.....at least this one. )

 

[MP3skaterNC]

lookin good, definately need the clear side markers now though, and some tire wet. hehe

 

[jonlisle20]

Yeah I have the Meguire's tire gel (it rocks!) but it was supposed to rain later so I didn't bother. (& it did of course because I washed my car. Guaranteed rain within 12 hours after I finish washing. :wtf:

 

[herarety]

I've used tire wet before, and after a few days it started making my rims dirty. Is this just a result of bad tire wet or something? I was using Black Magic, btw.

 

[jonlisle20]

I don't know, maybe. You might have put too much on, or didn't let it dry long enough, etc... Experiment and see. Meguire's is the best all around in my opinion.
Oh yeah, How come no one made fun of my one winshield wiper in my sig? I took it off just to see what you guys would say and no one said anything.:wtf: Ohhhhh.......you can barely see it in the crappy pic. Oh well.

 

[Kooldino]

d00d, please take that pic out of your sig. It's really annoyingly big.

Do you have a scratch under your driver door on the sideskirt?

 

[KzA]

how tough was the pro5 headlight install? was it just getting the correct bulbs..and splicing the correct wires to the correct bulbs? Also, where abouts do you live in Jersey?

 

[djPhobic]

question about tails....have you had a problem with them fogging up due to moisture getting inside?

 

[jonlisle20]

Kooldino- No I don't have a scrape in my sideskirt (but it does look like it) / I'll take it out of my signiture very shortly.

KzA- Unfortunely I did not do it myself. My uncle did it for me but he said it was a pretty straight forward job. (Get the Pro5 headlights, Splice the high beam and low beam to the appropriate bulbs, etc.) / I live in Tinton Falls a.k.a. - Nowheresville. Just off exit 109 on the Garden State Parkway.

djPhobic- I haven't had a problem with moisture......but I did leave them out in 103 degree weather all day once, and they have a now permanent haze on one of the sides. Sucks.

 

[scott42]

That haze is moisture man...
send them puppies back. I went through 3 sets before I finally said F it and went back to stock.

 

[jonlisle20]

I actually took them off and thouroghly examined them, it isn't moisture. My girlfriends Civic has moisture in her taillights which looks like a fogged up window, so I know what it looks like. My tail lights are kind of cracked a little on the INSIDE only. I think I'll send them in anyway to get new ones. It was a record setting high temperature out and I left it in direct sunlight ALL day.......but COME ON! That shouldn't happen. I'm disappointed, but beggars can't be choosers. Can they?

 

[APEXistud]

Damn, I need to get some coilovers. Your car looks nice with that drop on it. How does it handle.

 

[jonlisle20]

Thanks. It handles pretty well, but there's a lot more torque steer. Well, it feels like it anyway. It pulls pretty hard either right or left on certain bumpy roads. Overall I'm very happy with them! I couldn't have all that wheel gap anymore. I'm thinking of getting a camber kit and alignment to lengthen the life of my tires. My tires have 20500 miles on them so they're almost dead anyway.

 

[MarkSpark]

Hey Jon, i think i saw your car parked in a driveway in Lakewood. At least it was someone's blue MP3..was that you?

 

[KzA]

whoa whoa NOOOOW we are getting local..I live down in ocean county...Toms River to be exact...didn't know I had so many local MP3ers

 

[Sir Nuke]

d00d, please take that pic out of your sig. It's really annoyingly big.

don't completely remove it....just replace it with this one....it will fit a lot better.

 

[YellowBaggedP5]

Please don't waste your time returning the taillights and getting new ones. No matter which crappy altezza's you get they are all the same. Either its gonna fill with moisture, crack on the inside, or the red part is gonna pop off (especially if you have a system). The stock ones look nicer anyway, why ruin such a nice car with those taillights. I believe in you my brother, and someday you will see the light and go back to higher quality stock products. Testify, testify!

 

[LinuxRacr]

Damn Jon,

I'd swear that's my car! It looks Identical...Tail lights and all! And the Calipers! Nice ride.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Yeah, Yellow is right about the taillights. APC is CRAP!!! Mine has no moisture in it because my boi sealed them for me before I bought them off him. The downside is that some of the fumes from the sealent I thing got into the housing, and made small "frost" marks. I did have the clear ones before the carbon fiber ones, they had moisture like a motherphucker!!! :mad:

Wow, thats weird man. you live on Whitesville road? I saw your car on the shoulder last Sunday afternoon. And guess what? Later that evening a deer hit my protege ES (no mp3 here) and guess on what street? Whitesville road. Be careful. be very careful!! By the way, I'm from jackson and I went to Mondon. Now go to Seton Hall. I actually lived in Liberty Village in the mid-80's when I was a little kid. Peace!!
