[Hyghgynx]

Looks cool. What size Optima battery is that? I need one!

[QuincyPlatinum224]

Thanks again for all the complements I really appreciate it no one ever gets to see my car and I needed to share with someone!!! The optima is just a standard red top.

any tips/suggestions for hardwiring that gps...i have the same one,and was looking for a better way to hook it up. right now i have it in the lower drivers side corner of the widshield, then the wire goes down, behind the steering column, and then back down to the 12v plug. i'm really sick of it, and want it to look cleaner...help!

[Aroddalobster]

no full-on shots?

[TRD93]

Car looks good, you did a very good job painting. That header looks sweet also! where did you buy the wrinkle red paint? lol

[QuincyPlatinum224]

Red Paint from Summit Racing. For the hardwire you need to get a pigtail from Amazon.com for the Garmin GPS. Then follow the DIY for the Valentine Hardwire. There is a ground and a power line. Connect the power line to the sunroof controls with a t-tap from Radio Shack.

the wrinkled red reminds me of the S2000 valve cover... nice job on the installs clean lookin engine bay

[toeveryhour]

nice, i too liked the wrinkled red. you should have just redid it in that.

[QuincyPlatinum224]

Bump. I sold my car. I had custom painted my headlights and I want to share with the community. I didn't show these pictures before cause I didn't want copiers. LOL sorry guys. But I blacked out the headlight turn signals with thick poster board paper and painted the outside white to match the headlights.. Taped off the eyebrow and painted the housing white. I dont know if anyone else had done this since I did but I know I was the first when I looked on here.

I think swtckid was the first to do it to 08+ lights. A bunch of people had done it to 05-07 lights prior to that, myself being one of those people.
