I'm planning to build a tray out of premade carbon fiber panels, so the end result should look similar to this:

All the water will drain into the space between the front of the engine and the cooling fans.

Yesterday I finished my rear hub install. I had a few damaged wheel studs so I decided to just replace the whole hub while I was at it since it's got a lot of miles on it anyways. I ran into some issues so it took me about 4 hours total. I plan to do the other side in the near future.
Old and new
This is where I ran into the biggest issue. The inner race of the old wheel bearing was seized on the spindle.
After an hour of heating, chiseling, hammering, bleeding, sweating, and cursing, I finally got it off, cleaned up the spindle, and the new hub slid right on

Thanks dude! Me either lol.
turbo widebody? 
i would love to throw some low offset 18x10s in the front and 18x12s in the back with a nice meaty tire.
haha the orange bulbs don't bother me in real life but in the pictures it does stand out quite a bit.

Hurricane Sandy can't stop me from modding!
I needed a voltmeter inside because I like to listen to music when I work in the garage or when I'm hanging with the gf and I can't keep the car running. So this helps me decide when I need to turn the car on.
That panel is made from one of the hood vent cut outs lol. I plan to add other gauges/outlets to it in the future as I see a need for them.

Is the voltmeter plugged in or is that ur navi? also if it is your navi or voltmeter why didn't hard-wire it? jw(navi-maybe you use it other cars that's why).. I would like to see a diy on the voltmeter dash thing w/ the diy to the engine start i could not find it i did look on the diy forums. I'm waiting for the diy on the hood vents also but know your not done yet. Love your Build it's very unique.

The voltmeter is simple. A basic voltmeter gauge has a positive (red) wire and negative (black) wire. I just tapped into the positive and negative wires for the cigarette lighter that is to the right of the voltmeter. That way, the voltmeter turns on and off with the car.
I didn't hard wire the navi yet because I'm too lazy
I need to hard wire that and my radar detector. I'll do both at the same time.DIY for hood vents has also been delayed as a result of my laziness

Yeah a voltmeter is such a simple device though, I just don't understand why you would need a negative.
That's pretty neat. I wonder how well it actually works.

I found out that the bar lights up on the left if and object is left of the bumper same with the right side as for middle i think the left and right light up. The device also makes a beep noise as you get closer to the object. I think the #'s get lower the closer you get til it gets to 0 if you get to negative #'s then your in need of a new rear bumper lol.

not my thing but at least you used plasti dip. Your creativity is inspirational for the fact that you do things most people wouldn't think of or attempt. Curious to see how it looks on the car

just got my gf's seal of approval on the wheels. was not expecting that 
they're just basic bland winter wheels so I had to do SOMETHING to them so they matched the rest of the car. i'll color match the mirrors too so it's not two shades of red.
as far as centercaps, i'm still figuring out what to do.

lol yeah i know i used red plasti on my mirrors and roof trim. i used the black plasti because i thought maybe that would darken the red paint on top. i wanted a decently dark shade of red.
