Easy to Do Mods
 

So a twin suby drove past me today and gave me the "whats up bro" look.

Love the community lol

I'm seeing Opticoat here for cheap.

is it easy to apply?

Opti-coat is considered a mod??

t emblems, shark fin antenna, clear side markers, HIDs/ LED

talk to the guys at ft-86 speed factory, they're pretty active on the forum and helped me pick out some stuff for cheap :)

I'm new lol

I hear its great im just wondering is it's a beetch to apply?

Easy mods:

• Beat Sonic Shark fin antenna
• JDM clear side markers
• cat back/axle back exhaust (only need hand tools and some way to elevate your car a little bit
• panel air filter (K&N, Perrin, HKS)
• AVO intake tube
• tinting taillights (LIGHT COATS lol)
• JDM exhaust tips (or something similar, look up the black exhaust tips thread)
• master cylinder brace
• plasti-dip your wheels in some cool color (it's easily removable)

Hope this helps, the "easy" is a loosely defined word haha. Good luck!:thumbsup:

THANKS!

but what about that optic-coat stuff man ever apply it?

Most mods on this car are pretty easy to get around... I was really surprised how easy installing coilovers on this car was.

Good write up on it:

It really seems like something that should be done by a professional...Personally I'm clay bar-ing and waxing my car today (heated garage ftw) and I really don't feel like the opticoat adds much more protection than frequent waxing. Waxing is a complete joy to me :D

And right after this put in a master cylinder brace to finish up the pedal feel adjustment package :D

Check my sig. These are my starters before I go into UEL header/headerback exhaust/intake/tune

Steve, this is a very broad question. It depends entirely on A. what you want to do to the car, and your automotive mechanical skill.

Have you ever worked on cars before? Do you have access to tools and a space to work on your car? What will you be using the car for? What do you want out of modifying the car? These are all questions you need to answer.

Otherwise I'm gonna say "put some stickers on it and a new air freshener and call it a day" because I don't know A. what you want to do with the car and B. how adept you are at working on cars. Most of the mods listed above are easy, if you know what you're doing.

I've done an average amount of work to cars. Installed power windows, power locks, headunits, speakers, intakes, grills, headlights and such.

so my mechanical skill is average at best. my biggest concern was effecting warranty.

if i can go put in a new pioneer headuiit and some speaks without worrying about warr im set : )

As long as you wire it properly and don't cause the wiring harness to melt, I'd say you're good with the warranty!

I would advise not doing this yourself. Hold the syringe in your hand and then look at your car once and you wont have the balls to do it yourself. I promise.

hmmm well, anybody recommend some SICK wax that stays on for a while?

Jeebus posted a nice DIY on how to change your engine sound by modifying the stock sound changer. best part is it' FREE

What's your definition of "for a while"?

I find McQuire's NXT 2.0 to be really good and it stays on it for a good half year or so. I apply it every year cause winter here is too long can't wax in the cold.

I think a good weighted shift knob is a good easy mod, if you drive a manual. Makes shifting much smoother.

Opti-coat requires a steady hand, and patience applying it. I couldn't do it, but there are other members who did it themselves. I would also say you need a relatively dust free environment to apply it.

I installed the Perrin 2" shorty antenna today...it's literally the easiest thing ever. You unscrew the stock rubber one and screw in the perrin metal one...looks dope too.

Perrin intake tube and filter
Interior LED's
catback or axleback exhaust
front strut tower bar and mc brace
changing emblems

Nokya hyper yellow highbeams :D
