im 1/2 way through hacking and fabbing this for the regal center tail light. the problem is the inside of the outer lens is diamond cut on the inside, and laying a stencil on it seems to be a problem. i still need another center section to play with more, i dont want to mess up the good one i have installed now, hacked up the old one for parts.

i still need a dremill to finish the new tail light, a new tail light, and a way to tint over stncil letters on the inside with out the tint bleed due to the diamond cut lens. id like it to be a clean edge.
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
I need to go get one.
On the Bonne one, I shaved off a layer of plastic to do it.
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
was the bonnie diamond cut as well? drum sanding disk for a dremill to smooth it maybe? they seem awful deep to me, the diamond cuts that is.
and you got like 2 inches tops in that area to work in. its tight for sure.
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
Scott.
Bonne had a clear outer layer of plastic infused into a red layer which was then infused into a black layer. Black has to be removed. Go too deep and you are in trouble. After grinding that off, I smoothed it a bit and painted the Pontiac based on masking off the letters.

My Step Gram was often telling me about my white cat... my only assumption is Step Dad had a white cat when he was younger. Was much easier to go with it than explain the truth.
You could always suggest going for a cheeseburger or collard greens etc (whatever he'd like to go out for) then he's in the car and by the time you are back where he's staying, he won't remember why he got in the car.
Ah man. Yeah. The only pattern I've been noticing is he keeps talking about some car he has broke down on the side of the road that he has to go get. And then he'll be talking and tell you I can't keep up with anything anymore my keys and wallet are lost.
Last night we tried everything. We told him he's in Cabot going to Heber he says no this is Heber how are we gonna go to Heber? When we got home he told his dog "if you had just came in the house we wouldn't be here" that kinda hurt. But we tried a joyride, we tried all kinds of reasons.

There is beer for a reason Brandster
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
Got mah oil kit and my satellite radio kit in the mail. Woo. it ain't going in till next week I just imagine. I'm already tired thinkin about work this weekend lol.
Seen a car in front of me on the way home. The tag read "TAPGIRL" :th_mischievious:
Tried to get a pic but wasn't able to.
Me and a G8GT ran bumper to bumper through the mountainous ozarks for about 10-15 miles. I had found some ethanol free premium so I had to see how it did right ;)
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
call xm and have them bill you, they will turn the unit on now. the bill comes in a few weeks, then pay with a money order.
remember, dont give them your cc # or checking #'s..ever!
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
money order only? and idk man i was hoping you'd chime in on how to get x amount of months free. i mean.. right or wrong here tell me the nitty gritty :th_king-evil:
but yeah. I just have a lot on my mind so I'm having trouble focusing on that stuff lol.
oh and I meant to tell yall a story. I was at a gas station in Rosebud, AR. It was my car at the pump and then two other young redneck dudes in a truck. Well they spotted my car and being the eavesdropping sob I am, I listened. They said "that's kinda like that Bonneville my so and so had. its got that 3800! hers would bark the tires and it's even a front wheel drive! hers wasn't the supercharged one though." Then they started talking about racing or something I forget exactly what it was but they were complimenting the performance whatever it was.
It made me grin anyway. noobs don't know the cars actually slow as poop.
And that ethanol-free gas I put in it, I think the car liked it. It was 38* outside and I've got the aero annunciator set to blink if over 5.0* kr. And I still got a blip or two mainly towards shift point, but it seemed to tone it down. Could just be placebo effect. Doesn't really matter though I can't buy that on a regular and it needs a tune no matter what you put in it. :p
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
you need to suck it up and buy a plan the first time out as far as i know, then they send you the come back we miss you e mails lol
you can ask if they have any specials. cant hurt, you may get a cool guy who lets you slide. calling late night seems to be best, they are always at the phones it seems.
do sign up for e mail alerts.
i just got a e mail saying my bill is in the mail, so its time to cancel it again lol.
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
Lol cancel again? What's your strategy here...
And also, what would I ask them when I called them, besides if they have specials?
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
thats it, if they are running any deals.
what i do is, after your contract is up, 3 month, 6 month, or 1 year. cancel it, this is why you dont want them to ever have any credit card info, or check by phone, they will just charge your stuff with out consent. cant bill a money order 2 times lol
now that its canceled, yes they will turn it off. then 2 weeks later, or less you will get a e mail for 6 months for $25 no activation fee. it cost 27.50 i think with tax. been doing that for the last 2 years plus. and that is why its time to cancel it again. i can live for 2 weeks with out it.
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
hm i gotcha! not a bad price though. long as it isn't like 25 a month lol
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
its 16 a month and 20 i think to activate it the first time.
you may be able to get a one month plan. its been a while since i had to ask, as im always doing the hey, i got this e email, and heres my radio id # lol
this is what they send you.
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
Hm okay. Well I'll get it set up soon enough. So excited though!
