Default Got my car cleaned, dropped, and took some new pics

Well it was a beautiful day today at URI and instead of studying for my exam at 6:30 i went and cleaned my car and took some pics to share. Well here they are.

I guess we'll start with a pic of my headlight

i didnt have the DDEs turned on because im having some difficulties with them.

now to the grill Rhythmnsmoke made me (it looks weird cuz of my install and my cameras not the best one on the market)


now for pics of the car with the Hotchkis Lowering Springs





and the back of my car...


and lastly a close up of my decals i put on, maybe ill redo them later down the road and next time ill use a ruler haha


enjoy :D

Yo Dave, Good Job. The drop in the front with those springs looks about the same as my H-techs. But in the back, I think our H-techs. ride a little higher than yours. Keep up the good work.

you should try drilling the small holes in the headlight housings for the demon eye wires so you dont see them....

thanks for the compliments guys, lol yea about the tire shine.... i didnt have any, i just ran down to a local carwash and did it there, but i baught some of that nano wax stuff... i like my meguires stuff at home better.

and the black on the liscence plate... yea same plate that was on my last car. but i wanna get new plates anyways. the black on the plate wont come off, it kinda bonded with the plate, its from the guard rail. but thanks for the kind words about the exhaust.

and about the demon eyes.... *sigh* where do i begin lol. i love the way they look... when they work, waiting for umnitza to send me 2 new ballasts and then i think/hope they will be all set. i gotta take the headlights apart cuz i have to put a new ring in and i wanna try to reseal the both of them cuz theres some condesation goin on that i dont like, and im gonna repaint the reflectors cuz i kinda rushed them the first time and they came out like crap, also anyone know of a nice and easy way to take off the DDEs completely? i wanna use different *clear* glue to hold them down, i dont know what i was thinkin when i baught the current glue (its red but i didnt know till i put it on but i plan on gettin a few extra goodies for my car before i get my turbo fund on route Stage 0 with FMIC T-minus 8 months lol

i might post up some pics of the interior next week when i get some of it done this weekend, im installin some more cathodes and i think im gonna repaint my dash (weather permitting)

anyone have any suggestions on the color that i could paint the sash? all the interior lights are white, but i think a white dash would look odd? any colors that would look clean but noticably different than stock? its just gonna be temporary tho cuz this summer im taking every peice of my dash to a shop to get painted Flint Mica and either BSP or SSM (CSM)
