Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Damn that sucks. Good luck. I am curious though, why do you have SD headers and U bend Delete listed in your sig? SD header replace the U bend anyways. Not sure why, but it caught my attention, lol. Good luck with the install today, I take it you have a spare on hand? lol.

Looks good. They appear tinted but are completely clear. The turn signals may need to be upgraded since there are no more reflectors.

Looks GREAT! wanna do mine? lol

I need to take a break from lighting mods lol. Its all I've been doing lately

I've done some pretty meticulous stuff, but I dunno if I want to try retros, I might just pay someone for them or something. Guess I'll just have to see when the time and $ comes.

Yeah they're easy in theory. The hard part is the little things like not breaking anything, and getting the aim right.

If i black out a set of corners i think I'm gonna leave the reflectors unpainted so they are seen better. I don't think it would look too bad.

Threw the snow tires on this morning. Found missing nut/broken stud on right front. Yay!

Should be an easy fix, but DAMN is it cold out there. Freaking wind put a chill on me!

Reflectors? The orange light scattering thing you mean? Because I think the whole thing is a reflector lol. I will do led signals which will be brighter than incandescent in a stock housing.

For this area, today was the last warm day of the year. 62°f. Doors open at the shop, never again for a long time though.

Turned my defrost on and completely fogged my windshield up. I should probably fix my heater core tomorrow.

Isnt there like reflectors or whatever in the back of the corners? I haven't looked at them closely tho.

Yeah they go all the way around except the bottom I think.

Ohhh

I like the look with all black. I used a gloss black so it actually still reflects a little lol.

Def report back on how much brighter LEDs are. Im thinking if I'm feeling fancy doing switchbacks.

I don't think I'll do switchbacks. I've seen it on a few cars and don't really care for the look. A f150, 300, and something else (all not stock installed)

We just need an ep28 flasher relay don't we? Being 97-03 for LEDs so no hyper flash?

Not sure on that, haven't looked into them
