You need to take some new pics and get a new sig :biggrin
Both are on the list. I've enlisted the one and only Casey the great for the pics.Quote:

Nice. Gonna go with the keyhole cover.
Like the look.
Droid X. Tapatalk. Use it.
Not quite yet: My c/f wrapped rear spoiler arrived today. Set it on the car to see how it will look. I'm going to like it, but there were some imperfections in the wrap, so Nacho is going to fix those for me. (For some reason, photobucket will not display the pic correctly).

Why would he send you a product with imperfections? Did he tell you before hand?
Honestly, not sure (wondered that myself). He didn't mention that ahead of time. What I pointed out mainly was a strange green hue that showed in sunlight reflection... likely he was working indoors and didn't see that. He said he'd fix it though.Quote:

And I can't believe you just went over 50k miles! So low it's crazy.
Thanks Ryan!
Update:
INSTALLED SPRINT BOOSTER (SB)
SB working. Love the quicker pedal response. Pic with accelerator bracket out and booster connected. 2nd pic is with the new accelerator bracket installed.

NEW TIRES/WHEELS
As posted earlier, in order to go to a square setup for the least investment, I bought 4 chrome 135s with tires. Once these go, I'll replace the tires with 245/35 with the 8.5's all the way around.

Bought Graham's C/F license plate frames, pics later, as I ordered new plates.

Good deal John. How long did the install take?
HTC Thunderbolt+TT
Also.....do you have any completely installed pics?
HTC Thunderbolt+TT
It didn't take long at all, maybe 15 minutes max, and that was because I had to replace the accelerator bracket that I broke originally taking it out, and a couple of minutes was just in deciding where to tuck it and the wire away. I'll get a pic and attach to this post.
EDIT: added better pics. See that little wire above the accelerator? The SB is tucked in there. The wire is the remote for the different modes, which runs all the way to my center console. The 2nd pic shows the remote switch at the console.

So that lil sucker just hangs out next to the seat?
HTC Thunderbolt+TT
You can put it wherever you want, they give you plenty of wire length... I just hadn't decided yet. I'll likely have it tucked right next to the seat on the drivers side. They even supply a small sticky the size of the remote to tack it down. I'm guessing some people put it under the dash. I'm used to my DICE ipod cable tucked to the left side of the passenger's seat along the console, so I just reach down to grab in and connect my Ipod. Thinking the same thing will work for this cable too.Quote:

glad to see you finally got it working! i think it's a great mod. enjoy.
Now....just to be clear...before I lose this thread......this would NOT be good for people who have some stop and go traffic. Correct?
You could mount it underneath your shifter or e-brake boot and just push it through the boot. Hidden switch!
Or buy the expanded button center console switch unit and wire it up to one of the unused switches. Probably a little electrically challenging...
I just love a seamless install.
Good idea running it through the shift boot.Quote:

Love the roundels on the plate screws! I really like that California plate design too. Do the letters/numbers mean something? All I got was Beach 10s, or Beach 1 OffShore?
PS. Sorry I missed your SuperSprint install. Looks great. Hows it working out for you?
BCH 10-S = Beach Tennis. RE: plate screws, thanks. Found those on ebay. As far as the Sprint Booster, I absolutely love it. Definitely improves the feel of the throttle response, worth every penny to me. It has 3 settings (off, mid, full), and I run it on full all the time. To me this is how the car should have felt from the factory.Quote:

Excellent news with the SB.
Wait, does that mean you're OUTFORSURE :roflQuote:

Sounds like a lot of fun. I enjoy Tennis and badminton myself.
We have the "Wimbeldon of Badminton" In my front yard every year. Serious stuff.Quote:

Great way to bring back this thread John!
The Angel Eyes look really good.
Thanks Gary. I update it when I mod. Starting to run out of mini-mods. Suspension is likely next.
kudos for going nice and yellow.
I'm dead serious, too. :thumbsup
Thanks. It's not really yellow, that's just the pic. It's 4300k, which is more of pure white... I really like it against the black ZHP (thought that would look better on black than the more subtle blue-ish 6000k.
Whatever it is, I like it. I think it's easy to go overboard on the angel eye color temp and you've chosen well IMO.
Appreciate the compliment!
OK, next mod installed... Turner Motorsports Power Pulleys! Too soon to tell the difference, but it certainly "feels" like it pulls better. On top of that, new brake fluid and oil change. Will try to post more power detail on the pulleys when I get a better feel for them.
Hey Johnny-
How about something like this for your Sprint Booster button?
