    Default Did some stuff, got some new stuff...

    I got tired of people telling me to do this.

    So look at the lights now.



    and my F1 spec shift knob came in. It's about the size of a ping pong ball.



    And I stripped a lug nut and now i need to replace wheel stud and all that junk.

    I had four studs break off from two different rims. The studs were actually bent before I took my stock rims off. So the next time I went to tighten my lug nuts the fcking studs snapped off. You could see the other two that didn't snap were bent. I just replaced all 16. Lolz


    Your headlights came out awesome though.

    Bozzio for president.

    passenger light isnt as clear as the driver's side but i buffed and washed the entire car today and i'm loving the outcome.

    haven't buffed my own car in like 1.5 years.

    waxing it later on this week when my garage gets cleared out.

    i'll take a pic of the knob. it's my dad's jack.. it's for motorcycles but i love it. i've had like 3 sets of wheels since you left, jeyson.


    and i'm buying a set of springs in a few days so it'll be lowered soon.

    It was actually an accident.. just cut the original hoses and they wouldnt fit.. then coolant came out.. then i threw the metal thing because the paint messed up. so I replaced with hoses.

    looks better too.
