Lol today was the day for me. I hosed off the salt and dirt yesterday, just till the streets dried a little more, and today she got the full Exterior vacum and cleaned leather! It was pretty nice out so i was comfortable.

And i want to cop the yeezys to flip on Ebay. I dont collect em. A friend told me apair was releasing soon and would be a big release. So i was going to just going to get em with him and sell for a little profit

MoaarLow

FML forgot to post before. but i am DIENG to place my order for my foggies but hesitant on the 4500k or 5000k from DDM. Can anyone that has a pair let me know how the light compares to stock low beam !!!!!

I also need a reputable deck lid spoiler on ebay that wont take a month to get my spoiler to me.

After ^^, its a debate between a roof spoiler, which is specifically for the CU2 for $180 on ebay, Or a Gloss Black Roof ... But ill cross that path once my HIDS are here and installed, and my spoiler as well. I will be ordering my springs within the next week or 2.

MoaarLow

Could you see a noticeable difference in light output? When I did mine, when I looked in my rearview camera the led side looked brighter.

iamitman

Should have got the White 12 SE. Oh Well, CBP will do.

MrOtocinclus

In that first picture with the snow, it's interesting how the snow is in a straight line along the doors.

Also, I like what you did with the reverse lights, much cleaner.

And lastly, WHY ARE SHOES SO EXPENSIVE NOWADAYS?!?!? When I was a kid you could get Jordans for just over $100!!

MoaarLow

I will say the Rear Cam looks a little cleaner? If that makes sense. Slightly Whiter (lighter). Nothing Drastic but its noticeable in my honest opinion.
No Tech, Am I correct?
And I didn't want to live above my means. I upped my payment from my previous Car, So I think this was the limit. Before I get a SE id get a V6.
Which I may have after this lease is up.

Lol the snowfall has something to do with the way the Lot is between to Apartment buildings, The way the wind blows in the area and the snowfall direction etc. Pretty cool tho, And the space to my left is Empty. So I usually just throw any snow into that spot

As far as sneakers. I WISH!! Id love to spend $100 lol
These just put me Close to $200 for the pair, WHICH CAME TODAY IN THE MAIL And Feb 4th were looking at $220+ for the Red foamposites. It's an addiction/Hobby. Same as modding a car.

Fogs on the way, Went with 4500k From DDM.
5000k Seems to have slight bit of blue. and I don't want any hint of blue.

I am ready to order my Tein S Techs today as well. Debating them or my rear trunk spoiler.

My spring installer said he'd change to aftermarket shocks while in there blc they won't hold up for too long. I only have 1500 miles on my car and it's a lease so idk about dumping $1000+ on a lowering kit + Future Camber Kit, wheels ETC.

Anyone have Input ? Whose on springs? And for how long?

ed_423

A few ppl has been running Stech for 2 years + problem free

MoaarLow

Thats what i thought, im 1500 miles in my shocks are new so i know i will get decent life out of them.

Mr. NC

Welcome to the LED reverse lights club!

You


LOL

I got my Chicago X's on Wednesday...beautiful shit....looked at them once and put them back in the box and hid them in the closet...wont bust those out til summer.

As my 1 boy said "those jordans are 1 corner of a coilover kit" SMH

ssjoeboe9

I want to install my springs so badly! But, I promised the left side of my brain the next purchase would be for a firearm. So to keep the right side content I drink a lot of beer and paint random shit on my car.

MoaarLow

Stak as well, but other than us idk anyone else, im sure you guys have more than 18smd, so i wonder how much brighter ya'll lights are than mine.
But same! i looked at one, didnt even try em on, and put em away. I went online and looked at the red foamposites. Already on Ebay for $350-$450 before release date, the Concords were like than. And after release sold for that much all day on ebay. Maybe more now. So i will surely be trying to get ahold of 2 pairs.

you got em already? which did you go with? I just messaged XLR8, i saw theyre making a coil kit for our cars. Their 4th Gen TL exhaust looks and sounds amazing, i read a review on 3rd gen TL coil kit and nothing but A+ things to say. So i wouldnt doubt an amazing 32 way adjustable coil!

Depending upon pricing ill decide if i want to wait a little longer for coils or order my springs now.

And another side note, Thought about selling my 4500k to my boy when they arrive, and picking up some 5000k's. Saw a white car with 5000k top and bottom. Looked great. I doubted the blue, but it has a very very slight tint of it.

How difficult was the low beam bulb swap for anyone who did it?
And was any alignment needed ? as in not having a even line output?

Mr. NC

Stak doesn't count...he has no car atm...

My reverse light pics are in my thread taken at nite, you can compare there in a way lol.

For the lows, the bumper had to come off, I tried to follow the book and install them by removing the liner in the wheel well..yeaaah that didnt work for me lol. No realignment necessary. The whole HID unit is built into the headlight iirc

ssjoeboe9

yeah man I bought S-techs back in November thinking I could install them myself and write a DIY for everyone else but it looked way too complicated without a garage. Found a place that would do it for $160 plus alignment but i had already spent what I had saved up. Now I'm thinking I'll wait to install my springs and get my rotors done first. IDK I got a lot going on haha... plus searching for the right firearm

MoaarLow

Agh, yeah. So that leaves us 2.

I saw your thread, You definitely have a little more color than i do, Mine are like a 5000k color, yours seem more 6000k. But from your pic and my avatar you might be a little brighter than me. But i dont see anything drastic. I doubted the 18 SMD for a while.

Well i was going to meet up with Pyro an upcomming weekend, we would do my fogs and remove the bumper for an easier installation with more room to work with, so i guess at that point replacing the D2S should be simple?
Is removing the battery needed?

I think ive opened my hood once, for 20 seconds lol
I hear ya bro, the guy doing mine Charges ~$150 + the alignment. So i guess those are fair #'s for a Spring Job

Im leaving the brakes alone for now. Id love drilled and slotted rotors, but on a lease i dont think its worth it. Which is why im question coils. And just may go the spring route

Mr. NC

replacin HID's should be easy I had it done at the shop for the simple reason that I had no space at home. I do not think battery removal is required good sir

tobwac

You dont even need to remove the bumper to put the HID

MoaarLow

Its fine, Ill stay 4500k. I cant Justify swapping out expensive HID bulbs with maximum light output for $30 bulbs.
So ill get close with a 4500k Match in my fogs, I think the All white everything should look very classy.

I drive to work at 5:30 AM, HW Commute, And my final trip home from JOb #2 is at 6pm. Again. HW trip. So id rather a more function than enhancing looks in this case.

MoaarLow

If the 4500k bothers me then i may consier going 5000k top and bottom. But ill start here.
Pics when they are installed.

PyroDave

samace has reverse LED's in his PMM 09, sol you can add him to your stupid club that im not a part of

MoaarLow

Add em to the List.
Don't feel that way bro "/ $10 can have you apart of the club

ssjoeboe9

ORRRRRR spend ~$7 and become part of RTTCU2. Which will you choose?!

MoaarLow

Im left out
Rear Window Re tinted tomorrow!

Does anyone know how long i should expect to recieve my HIDs for Fogs from DDM ?

PyroDave

1-3 weeks haha. mine came really quick(about a week). my replacements took about 2 weeks. i've seen it take 3 weeks.

and RTTCU2?

ssjoeboe9

oh I guess that was in DWU's thread.

RTTCU2=RED TINTED TAIL CREW

MoaarLow

Oh man Idk If I can keep on with DDM lol that's wayyyy to long!

lol i want 09-10 Tails, If Not second plan is Overlay the outter lights and get 09-10 Trunk Tails



OFF TOPIC,

I'm retinting My Rear Glass. Considered 35 but just did 20 Again.
& I'm As nervous as can be while they Dismantle the Rear of my car to get the whole glass ;'(

MoaarLow

Nasty 3rd Brake Light is Gone
HIDS were ordered, And praying before next week STechs and trunk lip Should be on their way.

PyroDave

so much better, but it looks a bit unbalanced. you need to add black accents, like the rear A, the trunk chrome, and the diffuser.

AND IF YOU ORDERED WHEN I TOLD YOU TO 15 TIMES YOU WOULDA HAD IT ALREADY. JUST PLACE THE DAMN ORDER. NOW!!

MoaarLow

i know i know but theyre ordered already, i ordered them thursday night.

Trunk Bar is going black. And so is the "diffuser"
If it was decent outside id go out and do it now, but this cold breeze is going to make it a pain in the ass and im not up for it.

Im going to pass by my body shop and see what they quote me on the rear, If its worth it than ill just let em do it.
theres a lot of room for error. If were brave enough when you come down i might be up for it!

VortexBlueTSX

Hey hey hey moarlow you forgot about me!!!! Im in the club too hahah lovin the clean white look that it gives

MoaarLow

SMH at me! We spoke about them 2. Either way were just the handful with them. I love how bright yours are, i couldnt find the 45smd in white for some reason. Overall im happy with the WHITE of the 18 smd

MoaarLow

Sorry for blowing up my thread, but i just love looking at the rear of my car now!
And i cant wait for the A, Trunk Chrome Bar, and Diffuser to be blacked out.

Havent decided if i should go along with the black roof, I feel if i go black roof ill need to do black rims...

PyroDave

you need to get a CBP trunk lip too

and im really confident we could do a good job, just gotta find the time, and i wont have it until the spring. we can go mod crazy after april 30th or so. i'll be coming home for the summer likely

MoaarLow

Ive thought about it, and i think i want to have it paint matched. I feel like the back will be too busy, too many break ups. Trunk lip, Rear Black A, Rear Black Trunk Bar, Diffuser. Its like broken all the way down. I think the A, Bar, and diffuser wil be enough.

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

Defcon has his that way. I was considering doing the exact same thing if I got an 11 or later...

MoaarLow

Cool, It's on the Agenda, Just not the most important mod right now.

DDM sent me a shipping confirmation, So my fogs should be here shortly.
&& Friday needs to hurry up so I can order my S Techs.

MoaarLow

Found Painted Roof Spoilers for a Decent Price,
Everyone runs a trunk lip, I'll try the roof first, And order trunk lip 2nd. see how it looks.

Officially Friday will be S Tech and Roof Spoiler ordering,
