at the top of the screen click on OFF TOPIC, then scroll down to Car Parts For Sale. Those are members selling used parts. You should be able to find a great deal there. Good luck....you'll soon be checking that page daily.

probably won't affect hp much. I think you have a CL-P not a type-s so i wouldn't worry about power.

get some lowering springs and save your money. I wouldn't throw too much more money into the car. Just my 2 cents. When i was your age i was really into cars too, but i wish i saved my money rather then spend it on car stuff.

Man theres alot of threads on that I'm too lazy to look it up though . 1000, 2000, 3000 grit sandpaper wet sanding them , than polish them out . I used a buffer and meguiars 105 cutting compound . They make kits you can buy though .

To get the headlights apart to pull the reflector you either have to get them hot with a heat gun or stick them in the oven .

Just buy mine. I bought mine brand new from the dealership about a year ago exactly. Shoot me a offer shipped they are mint! The only reason I'm willing to sell them for the right price is because I don't want to reopen them for a second time and risk having a problem with moister inside. I want to color match my bezels to the exterior paint of the car, I wish I did that the first time. I rather just buy another new set to do it too. Let me know

Thanks man! Yea when i was talking to my brother about it he said he hasn't removed his because he actually likes the reflector on black housings. But idk. I kept them just incase of something or if i want that stock look back or some random crap pops up but yea!

For high temperature paint, would brake caliper paint work? Any paint recommendations?

Um. I have no idea if the caliper paint would go on as easily and as evenly as plastic paint. But i used Kraylon i believe.

Toggle switches and LEDs

So i ordered toggle switches about a week ago and they are finally in! Im trying to find the best place to put them. I already have two carbor fiber ones installed that i bought from autobarn. But it was a ripoff.. 7 dollars for a switch? NA! Go to ebay. Where i got 6 for 4 dollars!

EBAY FOR THE WIN!
