I need a rainy day project!

What up Azine? I'm bored and new a project to work on over then weekend. Its pouring outside, I don't have work this weekend, and I even finished up my chemistry homework already. I'm bored as hell and its only 2:30 Friday. I was thinking about clearing out my headlights. Little hesitant due to the difficulty but I think I could do it. Anyone else have any other suggestions on car projects? Thank you for helping me keep my sanity haha.

Interior detailing? Change Oil? I'll be doing my brake job during this crazy california rainy weekend. Too many crazy drivers on the road during the rain.

Yea they have the 3022, 3175, and the 194s. They also have one that is like $20 and you buy it and you can hook it up to almost any connection. Pep Boys is where I got most of my LEDs for my car and I absolutely love them. Some people think that they have an HID look to them.

Well first you will need about 3-4 yards of suede (whatever color you want, I have black int. so I am going all black) and an exacto knife, spray adhesive, and a lot of patience. Basically, take your headliner down, spray adhesive on the back of the suede as you apply it, and form it to your headliner. Its easier said than done by far, I did it on my buddy's 240SX for the headliner, and door panel inserts. Turned out great, but its VERY tedious. You have to take your time.

The pic shows an H2 with a black suede headliner, and the link is a TL but the pics make it look horrible. The light is reflecting wierd. In real life, the black actually looks black. The pics make it look like a ghetto gray. lol
