reps for the de-rice progress nice work keep it up

**Mad Mike** · 12-01-2007, 05:51 PM

well anyone want to help me get some new wheels
FT. 17" flat black wheels w. tires

Also on the way home from cactusEG house my fog lights and running lights went out and this morning I found out why. When doing a wire tuck make sure you ziptie the wire lomb so it want work its way off the wires and let the wires touch the metel eges. Shorted the wires and blew some fuses but its fixed now.

Also the exhaust will be here tuesday

**Mad Mike** · 12-02-2007, 09:37 PM

knock offs or not they still look awsome. I want them so bad.

what the hell are you talking about?

**Mad Mike** · 12-04-2007, 06:23 PM

Exhaust is installed and WOW its quiet!

I like it. I can acually think while I drive instead of having a head ach the hole time.

I love the look and the fit is OK I will need to trim one of the pipes to get it to sit strait. Also I have to get the flange welded up to stop a small exhaust leak.

Not bad I give the Flowmaster axle back a 9/10.

because its already flat black.
On the ground test fitting

The nice polished tip not to big not to small.

Installed (sorry I got to get a better camera)

**JEY$JDM** · 12-04-2007, 06:36 PM

i got a stock bumper in a lil bit better shape than that one looks...

**Mad Mike** · 12-04-2007, 06:39 PM

you talking about the back bumper? You should have see it before I work on it. It was broke in the tag area like someone tryed to rip the tag off at one point.

**JEY$JDM** · 12-04-2007, 06:43 PM

lol. that sux.. no i got a front bumper. its brand new. its just been sittin at my house for the longest.

**Mad Mike** · 12-04-2007, 06:49 PM

The front bumper in brand new. It just needs some fitmint work to be right. I'm trying to get new stock fenders then the hole front is coming off and fitted right.

**JEY$JDM** · 12-04-2007, 06:56 PM

**Leekor12** · 12-05-2007, 04:01 PM

very nice job

**Mad Mike** · 12-05-2007, 06:16 PM

Well I developed a loud bang noice from my exhaust when I start my car. Found out the flowmaster exhaust was pulling the rest of my aftermarket exhaust towds the drivers side and one of the flanges was hilling the floor pan. Easy fix. I cut 1 1/2 in out of the flowmaster exhaust where it slides into the muffler and done. The hangers now line up and the bang has stoped. Still need about a 1/2 in more cut out to get the tip to sit center in the bumper but whatever.

Got to go for a ride with it and damn its quiet. almost to quiet(i'm use to the strait pipe now

) But it has a nice deep rumble to it(you know a 4 bannger rumble)

9/10 on the flowmaster still. I want to put some miles on it and then see how I like it and the test will be tomarrow night. From gainesville to the V and back.

**Mad Mike** · 12-09-2007, 10:42 PM

Sorry no new pics but got some stock fenders and I'm curently trying to save them

Not going to well right now. There alittle rough but I got to try.
I'm trying to smoth out a bad dent/crease on the drivers side and pull a large dent with no creases out with no luck so far.

should of just bought new ones, o well to late now.

I was to tired to work on it today so I'll take some pics of it tomarrow and get some work done. I hope...

Good night IA

**Mad Mike** · 12-10-2007, 10:30 PM

Here are some body work pics. I know it looks really bad right now. Give me some time and I'll make them look good. It looks like alot of bondo but its not its really thin.

Didn't have any plastic so I used some packing materal AKA bubble wrap to keep the motor dust free.

To tired to sand anymore tonight. so it will have to wait till tomarrow.

I don't have alot of experience in body work so this is a trial and error thing. Not to bad so far.

**cactusEG** · 12-10-2007, 10:58 PM

hell yea, u got ur fenders...
