I went with red, so in your case I'd say go orange.

I bought some 4d vinyl off ebay, 24"x60" for 15 bucks. I figured I'd wrap some stuff with it. It's so easy and pretty fun lol. These took me 30 mins or less. Might do a little more eventually, these were the easiest pieces to pop off lol.

Just picked up these bad boys today. All I need is some front rotors and I'm gonna grab some ss brake lines. Also need to fix the brake line crossover on the caliper. I can't find a place that sells em. Only for the front of the ctsv, so I may have to get some made.

I picked up a rotofab radiator cover today as well as an electric impact. I went to assemble my stock springs and new struts on the gp the other day and my compressor has gone to shit n won't hold the psi for anything. Figured this is a lot more convenient also. 40 bucks with tax from good old harbor frieght with a 25% off coupon.

This is also mine from my other thread. Video included.

So I bought this new Android radio from a place in China, so far only one person bought it and the heat knob adjustments weren't working correctly. They would only work in auto mode since it's canbus and all integrated in with the hvac. So I took the leap and bought one hoping for a simple solution, or I could live with it being stuck in auto. The owner then emailed me once it was shipped, saying that he included a new canbus module and saying that they should work correctly now. So hopefully I have time for install by this weekend. This thing is sweet as hell though, it had DVD, cd, Bluetooth, comes with GPS module, front and rear cameras, FaceTime camera, gps, wifi Bluetooth and elm 327, everything. It's pretty much an android tablet built in with everything, it comes rooted and can be wifi hotspotted or tethered. It can run apps and mirror my phone and play youtube videos, or anything that's playing on my phone, including the screen.

Now I need to attach the shrouds, mount the halos, complete all the wiring and try to make it as neat as possible, and seal them up. Then I will have to re attach them to the car and get them aligned again since the headlight can be fastened by just a little off.

[09G8GTMGM]

Well I got these almost finished up today. I need to seal em, then wire them all up and install. They look sweet!
