First off, I'm not a photographer. My lady does it for a hobby and I simply ran off with her camera and snapped a couple of pics yesterday. Next time, I'll drag her along since most of the pictures I took didn't even come out right at all...

EDIT: Almost forgot to give props to bigboy06 for biting off his ride... You know what they say, the best form of flattery is imitation...









And finally, some miscellaneous pics I've posted before...

I dyed my A, B, and C pillars black this weekend. Here's a pic of the A pillar.

my TRD billet oil cap and CF cover I got in the classifieds sections for $100...

Stealth trunk install by Simplicity in Sound...

 

Nice D.

 

Pics look fine! Very Nice

 

is it me or does the carbon fiber on the engine cover look toasted?

love the pics D_Unit!

 

supercharged?

 

The CF is discolored because the supercharger gets pretty hot... Too bad the supercharger was in another car because I bought the valve cover used. The TRD "Supercharged" cover was from a TC, but since I got it used for $100 plus the TRD billet oil cap, I wasn't going to complain about it. The decal is underneath the clear coat, so it's permanent.

 

lol well then D you just going to have to get the supercharger for it to make it right.

 

I sent you a PM.

That trunk setup is wicked!

Thanks for everyone's positive comments. I really appreciate it.

I actually asked the same question to LB Witz before I attempted removing my panels, so here's what I learned.

A Pillar - Disconnect the battery (only takes a few seconds) so the air bag doesn't blow up in your face. Next, slowly pull the A pillar from the top until you feel the clip give and then pull the bottom of the A pillar out in an upward motion.

B Pillar - Remove the screw cover cap. It is just clipped on and can be pulled out. Next, unbolt the screw so you can remove the seat belt. Next, pull apart the panel below the B pillar just enough so that you can get the bottom of the B pillar can come out. Lastly, start by pulling from the bottom of the B pillar on your way up to the top. When you get to the top, pull down, and the B pillar should come out.

C Pillar - First remove rear bench seat by sharply pulling up on one side. The rear seat is held down by 2 clips on each side. Once this is out, unscrew the seat both belts. For me, the C pillar wasn't so easy because I ended up breaking a clip on each. If I recall correctly, the clip is located somewhere deep near the taillight which I couldn't see, but could feel the resistance coming from it. I ended up pulling until it broke. Next, I started pulling from the top and worked my way down. I basically had to pull a part the panel below it at the same time to pull away the C pillar. In retrospect, it probably would've been a lot easier to remove the entire bottom panel to remove the C pillar. I should have done it that way...

Ahhh... the good ol' days. Thanks for the invite Mike, but I'm a family man now. My fiance has a daughter, so I just try to stay home and do the family thing. Plus, DC is far from me man! I'm in Union City!

I ended up getting the 6.5" Image Dynamics Chameleons because this was supposed to be my fiance's car at the time. Now that I'm going to take it over, I really wished I would've gone the DLS route. Oh well, I am still happy with it and I really can't complain at all.

HAHA... you know I want your kit bad Taco man! However, our Mini Cooper will be delivered in 3 weeks and I promised the Mrs. that I would hook it up with the JCW Aero kit right when it arrives. If it wasn't for that, I would've bought it a long time ago. Once her kit gets installed, I'll know how much $$$ is left if I could buy yours... I am still waiting to see...

 

good ol days? damn this newbie still doesnt know all the sciko veterans... sneak out man! i wanna check this out! jkjk youre always welcome though! maybe i will get off my ___ one day and go over to the sanjose meets...
