wut?

Let me know the first time you try to drive this at night. I will fly back from Korea to watch you crash.

At least make the inside of the "eyelid" match the hood line.

lol russ, it does line up. everything was half *** thrown on just to get an idea what it'd look like. I got 40w 4,000 lumen led lights for it, not being able to see is going to be the least of my worries lol.

I'm not sure, I found these used. I put a deposit down on them, I'm waiting for my refund money to come in before I can get them though. Looks like I'm going to get a carbonetics 2 way too

Still better than what I had russ.. It was either get a set of nice new coilovers, or buy a nice set of used coilovers for 1/2 the price, and buy a new carbonetics 2 way.

been off of here for a while. here are some recent pics of things that have happened.



Still havent actually mounted the headlight buckets, they're just kinda propped up in place, that's why they're not gaped right.

Decided to make my other gauge pod less ghetto. Still haven't finished it, but here's the progress so far.
First I used expandable foam and shaped it back to the contour of the dash. Then I used spray adhesive and put a piece of fleece down to start the base of the gauge pod.

Then cut off the excess.

Applied resin

started shaping it once dried

cut out the shape of the gauge pod, and fiberglassed it in.

Just been shaping it the past day or so, hopefully I'll get it finished on my day off. then time to wrap it, or paint it, still haven't decided which to do.

I couldn't run the abs wheel sensors in the rear anyways since they can't be ran with the dual brake caliper kit, my abs harness was messed up from my wheel rubbing through the connector in the wheel well so it didn't work anyways, and because it give me more space in the engine bay at the back of the motor and on the passenger side.
