You know what?

i was at Autoozone today trying to find some decent looking fogs, an air/fuel ratio meter and a voltmeter and when walking down the last row on the way to check out, i spotted a sweet 4 dollar pin stripe package.. so i bought it.


and i actually like it. kind of. it gives me an idea at least, and one that i like..






and i realize now after taking these pictures, i need to continue it on the lower lip. it continues all the way down the trunk as well, but there wasnt enough light to take a decent picture.

i need to re-do the eyelids.. tape bunched over time. if youve got a better way to make em lemme know lol

eh it was partially inspired by opinions (my decision to take it off) but it was more me looking it over again that did it.

The color wasn't the problem, it was the whole idea and placement that was the problem.

I think the placement is what really kills it for me, either 2 one on each side or one up the middle would look better, the one offset to the right just looks out of place

Oh and just so you know those a/f ratio gauges are useless, and so are voltmeters.

If you are not using a wideband o2 sensor all you are gonna be getting is a light show. Innovative Motorsports makes some very good and reliable products. Then again, you wouldn't need any real o2 ratio reading unless you are going high compression on forced induction anyways, so light show it is!

it seems to be pretty accurate in telling me exactly what i thought.. im running real rich sub 3k rpms and real lean after 4700. actually im just running rich in general.

time for new plugs? any suggestions on how to fix this?


as for FiftyFive... how exactly is a voltmeter useless? i understand your reasoning behind the A/F gauge.. but a voltmeter? im using it to measure straight off the battery, why isnt that a good number to know?

Ah, with a large system it makes sense.
