    painted the surrounds on the grills black and made a DIY tow hook setup for the subbie. here are some crappy pictures, i think it looks much meaner now how it is. and before you ask, yes that's orange:







    most tow hooks like that from aftermarket companies are like $150+. i got about $40 into mine max. it needs to be painted again, but im thinking about anodizing or powdercoating because there is lots of metal on metal contact that is hard to do with sticky paint. as you can see it already started chipping and peeling. it was a bad day to paint anyway...

    also, put some new levers on my bike. having two adjustable levers kicks ass:







    questions? comments? bring it on.

    back in a wbody? probably not for a long time, if ever. there are just too many better things to spend money on that line up before owning another.

    my car has a loop on the back of the car stock, you just cant really tell its there unless you look for it.

    next thing that goes on this car is the vortex generator that i bought. then i gotta buy some tires and i can put my winter wheels on.

    I don't get why so many people don't understand the tow hook.. it's for towing.. and in bio's case when he drives home after drinking at the pub and slides off the road he needs a tow hook... props it came out great... grilles make it look a lot meaner too.

    yea the ones coming out of the back on the hondas are actually extended past the bumper

    I was told imports have hooks so they could be strapped down for transport when they were imported or what not

    i hate you.

    and besides, everyone knows that i hate badges. if the constellations on the trunk and grills didnt have holes or indents behind them they'd be gone too.
