I'm getting some work done on my car. I want to take care of problems before buying more mods. Problems that will be fixed on this visit are:
1.) My brake pad mysteriously failing. 2.) Oil leak (found out it was an axle seal, the same shop did my axle last year, so that part should be free due to the warranty) 3.) Burning oil (combined with the leak, it got to a point where I was going through a quart every week or so) 4.) Rough idle (probably a vacuum leak, probably can fix it myself, but it's already going to the mech, so why not) Then she'll be nice and healthy!! She's been there since Monday and I'm getting anxious. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

I'm getting restless, not being able to get new things for my car, so I got bored and modified these.
 Like hell I'm paying $30-$50 for the OEM GT-Four ones. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Personally, I think the cut ones look better, since I'm not getting a vinyl cover. Looks minimal and I like it. Even though it's in the trunk... why am I being picky lol This post has been edited by HectortheRican: Jul 22, 2011 - 9:46 AM -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Dude, I could get 25mm spacers for these wheels, and they'd only come out as much as the Drag DR-31 wheels I've got my eyes on already do... lol These are 17x7.5 ET45 and the ones I'm getting are 17x8 ET35. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Got my bonnet shocks and I absolutely love them. Raise the hood, shocks do the rest while I grab my tools. Excellent!! Most useful mod I've done.
 Currently hassling with a loose wire leading to the male connector for my driver side low beam. It'll hopefully be resolved by the end of the week. Still saving up for something bigger... -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Resolved the headlight problem, I'm back to beautiful 6000K. The best temperature for HIDs in my opinion.
Next, I'm gonna wire in my fog lights. I just need a soldering iron... -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Today, I got a replacement high beam housing from Norberto. So now, I'm waiting for a semi-warm day to get to work and replace that, reroute the sidemarker wires to the fog lights and splice the sidemarkers into the turn signals so they'll blink when the turns blink. While I'm at it, I'll finally be getting around to installing my 7th gen shifter and brass bushings. She'll finally be getting some long-deserved love.
