yea, the hardest part was burping the babies after putting the coolant back in lol
I was just driving home and I think I hit a piece of tire tread on the freeway. When I got home I saw rubber burn marks on my bumper, I lost the fog light surround on the passenger side and now my bumper is not lined up correctly (passenger side has a slight gap/sagging). I guess I know what I'm gonna be working on next... (boss - there is a possibility I might not be able to make it Saturday as I might be working on this, hopefully it will be fixed before then)
Just got done installing R/C/R LED taillights from Khoalty. Took me a few hours to 1) figure out what the hell the translated English instructions were trying to say, 2) figure out what the hell the pictures were trying to show, and 3) figure out how the hell to connect the lights on the driver's side because of a completely destroyed ground connector (of course). Luckily, because of my genius (cough), I figured out how to reroute the ground wire and make it work! I applied the same fix on the passenger side, though that one isn't destroyed (it's fine, actually). Then I swapped the white LED bulbs I was using before as brake lights into the reverse light housing for LED reverse lights (my GAWD they're bright! See project thread here) and put the amber turn signal LED bulbs into the new housing, as unfortunately the turns aren't LED by design.
It was soooooooooooooooooo worth the swap, even though I'm on the fence about the clears. Wondering if I should just swap out the smoked fronts and sides for clears to match or to have a body shop smoke my turn signals in the back. I'm leaning toward option 2, though I'm not too fond of messing up a set of lights if they screw it up or make it too dark...:dunno
smoke 'em ;)
Pics or ban^^
I just got some Chevron Fuel Injector Cleaner to put in her. Tomorrow I'll treat her to a full tank of Sunoco 93 and that bottle. Hopefully it'll clean a little bit :P
I just posted the pics up in my project thread found here.Quote:

I can't do the Lamin-X because they don't sell turn-signal-only films, only ones designed for the entire taillights. I only want to smoke the turn signals, and don't feel very confident that I can cut it to size, or if I could even manage to cut it at all.
VHT is more permanent, and I also don't trust myself with that. I don't know how dark it makes it; I don't want it too dark. In fact, a little on the lighter side would be best...
Thanks for the suggestions.
You could always just use paint thinner to remove it if you don't like how it turns out
As for cutting the lamin-x, I would use a razor blade and a ruler. It might take a few passes to get it all the way through. That's basically how I cut the strips of electric tape I used on my grill to size
Had the ZHP my "Island Girl" tinted over the weekend. Perfect day for tinting. Hot and sunny...four days now.
