KYBs and Monroes are meh, IMO the Konis and Tokicos will handle the sport springs better.

IIRC, those BMWs has Sachs shocks from OEM.

SikMindz 06-25-2013 08:41 PM

Would need to double-check but I'm like WTFever. Just put something in that works and isn't going to cost me a **** ton. DGAF about the car these days. lol

[ChaosweaveR] 06-25-2013 08:46 PM

Nope and nope. :hay: But that would make it more race car.

[ChaosweaveR] 06-25-2013 08:59 PM

Body kits give you better star ratings.

Bloody hell, haven't you faggots ever played NFS: Underground before?

Noobs.

Valve stem covers and what else?

tipnitty 06-27-2013 04:19 PM

Since my headlights were in terrible shape, I removed them to give them a good restoration. Had some black paint around, so figured why the hell not. Doesn't look bad. Meh. It'll grow on me.

I like, basically what i did with mine. Why was the bumper removed? Please dont tell me that it has to come off in order for the lights to come out....


I spy with my little eye, a wild lana!

tipnitty 06-27-2013 04:51 PM

Indeed it does. Half of the front clip must be taken off to get to two of the 3 bolts holding them in. The bracket connected under the headlight is actually mounts for the bumper. What a pain lol. And Lana is out and about. She's about to get a new power steering pump. If i make a sharp turn, sounds like a good whine from a supercharger lol.

The tires were shipped this morning so they will probably be here monday or tuesday. And then the wheels will finally be put on after the weekend of the 4th. Pretty excited. I might get a set of yellow fogs for the car. Not too sure yet.

Also thinking about painting the "H" on the grille black. Thoughts?

TDavis 06-27-2013 05:05 PM

Unless there is an aftermarket grill that comes without the "H" then I'd just Plasti-Dip it or something and get dem yellow fogs, you need to be JDMzzzz.

I've seen a few cars that you need to take the bumper off to get the headlights off like some Infiniti's, pretty gay as sht, makes you miss simple old cars like the GA lol

Looks much better though, adding black to stock headlights ALWAYS looks better oddly lol

tipnitty 06-27-2013 05:13 PM

There is, and it's cheap, I'll look into it. I really want yellow fogs because with the HID's, on wet pavement, you can't really see the lines all too well. So I think it would make it look a bit better with that JDM yo.

Thats horrible. Also, i would leave it chrome. That or get a jdm style one if possible.

tipnitty 06-27-2013 05:54 PM

There is an ebay listing for yellow fogs with bulbs and OEM wiring and switch with a "JDM" grill that is blank. Might get that one.

sleepyalero 06-27-2013 05:59 PM

That sounds cool

bricooper78 06-27-2013 08:48 PM

like them dude!

[ChaosweaveR] 06-27-2013 08:58 PM

sleepyalero 06-27-2013 09:37 PM

Haha my post got edited!

tipnitty 06-27-2013 09:46 PM

I see that, damn good timing with the lightning man.

sleepyalero 06-27-2013 09:52 PM

Actually, with the iphone i just sit there take a video, then rewatch, i see something i like i rewind a bit. Then hit play/pause a couple times real quick till i get the cloud lit up, then boom screen shot. And i have a pic with lightning in it. :)

Ive gotten many photos of lighting strikes as storms come in at night doing that. Its sweet.

[ChaosweaveR] 06-27-2013 10:11 PM

Neat idea with the video...might have to try that myself.

tipnitty 06-27-2013 10:14 PM

I need to buy one of the camera apps for my phone since my phone is my camera lol

[ChaosweaveR] 06-27-2013 10:33 PM

Sam, get the Otaku Camera app. I find it endlessly amusing. lol

that does the same thing. If you have them in photobucket, they still have a url, which you still have to enter if you click on the "insert image" icon at the top of the post box if you want your image linked and have it show up in your post.
