Mr. NC

I too would like to blind people when I back up.....like a boss
I second this question as well

kowloonsniperhk

Yeah they are bright as hell. I'll try to post a video later on tonight

Mr. NC

Salutations good sir, are your brake lights also VLEDS? I want to be a douche like all the Audi's and MB's with the LED overload rears forreals lol

KillerG

damn. i want those. those are awesome. time to go on vleds site

kowloonsniperhk

Nope brake lights are stock. for now. lol

KillerG

You are a douche

kowloonsniperhk

Here you go. They are bright in comparison to stock reverse lights. I originally had the Nokya Artic White Reverse Lights but VLED had a 50% off sale for 10 mins a couple months back so I got the VLED 6K 7W High Power 20 LED Reverse Lights

Mr. NC

I would be offended good sir but I am not..

KillerG

proud to be a douche with you mr. nc

TSXKid2010

Mr. NC

kowloonsniperhk

No worries. Yeah had to tell my mom since she is clueless on what I wanted to do lol.

KillerG

kowloonsniperhk

KillerG

damn sorry didnt see it. If they have any sales again...credit card at the ready. 50% off is an amazing price

ed_423

man looks like this might be added on the list. since my rear tints are kinda dark, i hope these will clear things up a bit

kowloonsniperhk

Just got my Ingalls rear camber kit from Exclerate today! Can't wait to install em. Just gotta wait for my Ichiba V2 20mm spacers to come in next week. I am most likely going to paint them to prevent the rusting. Gold anyone? hehe

teasers

KillerG

how much was your camber off spec? and how much was the kit ?

whats the dif between arms and those little ball looking thingies ;o?

JavertHL

This thread is made of win. Please continue sir.

kowloonsniperhk

Congrats on the camber kit, waiting to see if I will need one.

mkeefe

A little off topic, but I just bought those LED reverse lights and used the coupon code "NOLIMIT" to get about $8 off.

A little update

So I got my 20mm spacers this past weekend. I installed the 20mm in the rear and moved the 15mm to front. Looked good. However, when I was going to dinner with parents, it was scraping like crazy. Got out and noticed that I needed to get my fenders rolled.

Just got it done today by a buddy. He did a great job and took his time with the roller. No baseball bat method lol. Im actually considering getting 25mm. maybe

I haven't installed my camber kit yet and decided to paint them to prevent rusting






















Spacers Installed (Before Fender Roll, I was scraping hard, At least I could say "I'm scraping because your fat")

Rear


Front




Driver Side


Getting my fenders rolled

KillerG

any comment on handling with the spacers? same shit or mini improvement?

kowloonsniperhk

no difference in handling. just aesthetic change

tobwac

very clean

ed_423

sweeet, looks great!

MrOtocinclus

Wonderful, can't believe you had to roll your fenders... what does that entail exactly? Do they just melt the inside of your wheel wells?

kowloonsniperhk

This

If you feel your fender there is a lip to it. He uses the tool in the video to fold it in. You use a heat gun around the fender so the paint won't crack

MrOtocinclus

Ah yes, I am quite familiar with that lip from washing my car all the time. Now I get it! Thanks for the video link, it really cleared it up for me.

VQPower37

great progress with the car it looks great

Puppetmaster

Very nice... love the blacked out look. Can't say I liked the look of those rims off the car, but on the car, they flow really well. Great work.

awwwww shiet. Mods all day every day!

A little update

So this Monday, went on a little mini vacation for myself to Tallahassee to visit my best friend since the semester ended. It's love bug mating season so just driving up, I ended up with an orgy of dead love bugs all over my car.

Installed the Ingalls Alignment kit. What was suppose to take an hour ended up taking 4 hours and a sunburnt back. Taking off the toe link wasn't the problem. It was getting the toe link out that was the problem. So I took off the lower arm to remove it. No biggie. When I was putting it back together, reinstalling and aligning the lower arm was the biggest problem. It was a good thing I had two engineering major buddies/mechanics that help solve this problem. With some problem solving and bashing it with a hammer, we finally aligned to the lower arm so we can feed the bolt through.

So after installing the alignment kit, had to get it aligned since the toe was completely off. Took it to one Tire Kingdom (I bought an 5 year plan), and they couldn't get my car onto the ramp since my car was too low. Took it to another Tire Kingdom Performance one and yet again they couldn't get my car onto the ramp. So went to Lowe's and bought a 12x10 wood and had it cut in half. Took it back and got it to work. But the mechanic did a great job aligning my car.

I also wanted to see how my exhaust will sound if I disconnected the muffler. And boy does it sound nice. The videos don't do justice since its not capturing the right pitch and tone of it. The videos make it sound ricey but if you listen to it in person, it sounds great. There is no performance value to it. Its really easy. just unscrew the screws to one of the muffler. I disconnected the driver side muffler.







mmm possibly posting this vinyl my buddy made
