It seems they rotate colors out periodically on the site.

Updates tomorrow maybe, going to tinker and finish up some stuff, i hope :)

Not sure as to what you vinyl wrapped. but any more info on the carbon fiber on the dash area??? i was thinking of getting or trying to make a carbon piece for that area around the radio. it looks good !!

Is the silencer still in the tip??

[mr_miles]

the carbon fiber that's on the dash is the stuff that I wrapped :p Going to be re-doing it soon, lol. It's crappy.

Currently the silencer is out, but in the pictures and my first impressions like in that post are with the silencer in. I like it both ways, so I figure I'll roll with it out for a few until I get tired of the noise, then put it back in. Even with the silencer out, it's not terrible. it drones a little bit at say 1900 rpm, but that it. I LOVE the idle sound it has without it, too. I'll try and record it.

[mr_miles]

Oh look, Eyelids.







At night I'll take a photo of them with the lights on, so you can see the neat little strip that light up on top. we didn't run vinyl there because we weren't confident in getting it on with no bubbles.

Best DIY and affordable mod yet!
Did you cut then apply or apply then cut?
Why so much rain?

[mr_miles]

Apply then cut - So much rain because Oregon. Never, ever, move here. EVER. I hate it.

[SilverSquash!]

Are these eyelids cut from vinyl or are they fiberglass ones?

[yarisugi]

[SilverSquash!]

i was wondering how you were able to stick the cf wrap onto that portion of the dash, considering the surface has all those little dots which would make it harder to stick.

I'm definetly digging those eyelids, did you costum make them or bought them somewhere ?

[yarisugi]

He cut it from a sheet of vinyl wrap. It looks pretty professional though.

the vinyl I had held to it pretty well, actually. I wasn't expecting to to do so, but it's pretty well on there.I'm redo-ing it soon, got some more vinyl in. also, my shock warranty came back, so yay I can put my car back where it usually rides.

[mr_miles]

Weee I did stuff. - 3 degree spacers? oh hell yes.

I like this pic because it makes it look like only one wheel is cambered.





This is my current ride height until summer - THEN LOWER. I think overall, the MI underpanel and sub frame are about 2 inches off the ground. I'll measure tomorrow if it's not raining because we all need an accurate measurement.



I put my second warranty shock back in, so I'm finally rollin proper now. Feels good, man. Other than that, haven't messed with too much lately - been working on that carbon fiber vinyl for fun, i've got a few pieces up here in my desk. I'm extending the dimmer switch wires so i can put it down in the center console with the traction control button, and i replaced the OEM bluetooth mic with my aftermarket one inside the dash so I could use it with my Kenwood. I've also got all 4 speaker adapter plates sitting on my desk, and hopefully will be taking my front bumper off to install my horn. Will also attempt removing the headliner and installing the sticker bombed bazooka sub and 5 panel wink mirror.

Ooh me likey !! Matt can you post a pic on how the camber attach to the hub pls ? I have the rear disc conversion and wondering if I can add the camber on .

Thx man

[mr_miles]

Definetly - I'll take one tomorrow when it's light out. Im assuming it would work, since it goes torsion beam, spacer , hub. but yes, pics you shall get.

[b20vteg]

[mr_miles]

dang rain slowed my pic taking vten, ill get that asap lol
