A little excessive but whatever works and as long as you are happy with the results. How many leds did you put in series per set?
This is the result of only 6 of 20 leds working. lol I haven't connected the others yet. sorry if the camera's shaky.

In this pic I believe there are only 4 LEDs, but those were the ones I originally had in there. He wired up 8 LEDs inside the RPMs, 8 inside the MPH, and 4 inside the GAS/TEMP side. I think It's gona look great and if its too bright I could always adjust it with the dimmer

That's right, he has a headset for every phone he carries with him. He had another bluetooth on his other ear that you didn't see. Like the Great One once said:

That is too funny man, I can't wait to see the final LED and six speed projects completed!! I wish I had time to tear my car apart and play with mods. I am installin my new HU this weekend, so that will be enough for me for a while..in the meantime, I'll watch and enjoy the projects you and Joe are doing

It would most likely be Tampa or Miami. But we may end up taking her skivic, but then im gonna look like a little bitch sitting in the passenger seat for like the 12 hours. Might as well bring out the beastly TL and purge girls skirts in the air.

Miami is expensive and crowded. Well atleast the times I have been there. But you want to go in the summer, which is pretty much the best time of the year for half the world to go to Miami lol. Oh and the purging skirts... it works like a charm! Joe has proof on his back window! litterally haha

Yeah, you can chill here on campus if you want... or if you go to Miami, hit up south beach, I was able to get a hotel room on the beach for only $68 a night.. AND it was last minute.

no comment.

Yeah, I got fed up of having my tranny die, so I figured I'd try to go ahead and do the conversion..... but I still.. have yet to even know how to drive a stick... sad huh? LOL

Alright, progress report!

So.. I got my Basics today...



Nitrous is the dude I got them from, his car gave me a visual orgasm... check it out!







BUT, before that, I had another crazy night.. by the way... the one in the white is coming to daytona (Mega Meet)... along with every other person you see in the pic...




There's more to come... they'll only come if i get my conversion done in time.. so i'm pressed against the clock. Wish me luck!

It's about time I brought this shit back. lol

Well, me, Mario, and his friend were up from 11:30 at night until 6:30 in the morning doing several mods. On the list: Adding the OEM spoiler, and the WW Kit. Check it out.. I can't wait to get my kit:

The Before Shots:





The Spoiler...


The Spoiler added:


Then the first lip got added to the bumper...


Then the side skirts:


Mario's car's so low, even the MDA stands 1/2 inch taller. lol


The kit 75% complete.


So damn low! (on the driveway)




Installed the rear lip.... I LOVE the piping job for the exhaust.


7 hours later... the project's finally over.. what a difference. It's like night and day.




Coming soon to a future post on your screen: Vids! That's right... I took quite a few. lol I'll post them up once youtube's finished with the upload process.

Mario.... Check this out..

I called you earlier to let you know that I have the complete interior if you friend wants it. He can pick up tomorrow or Wednesday. I can sell him the complete interior with carpet, mats, door panels, rear panels, rear seats, arm rest and front seats. I will include whatever else is not mentioned that is considered as part of the interior. Price is $1,000. Tell him to hurry!!!
Is this what you were looking for?.. If so... It's all here. lol Let me know
