That GIF made me LOL. But we all got different tastes. There are people who love 10 degree camber, right?

Anyone who hates rally armor mudflaps is really going to love the paint behind their wheels after a few years of DD. New paint is extremely soft.

I wasn't a huge fan of the look of the horns, so I painted them black haha. Except to make them fit they touched the inside of my front grille and now they're like marble red/black smh.

I had to use my hella horns more urgently than ever before today.

Anyone looking for more information about installing aftermarket horns might find this thread useful. On page 4 you can find information about my hella horns setup and a short guide to installing them. Here's how they look:

These can barely be seen sitting so low, some people are just picky about appearance.

I'm about to install mine. Noticed the stock brackets are actually 3 plates with two holes. I'm going to try to use one from each and bend it at a 90 degree angle for the install rather than fuss with buying and fabricating them. I'd imagine the three together can be used similar to an erector set in a pinch.

Hi.....a bit of a resurrection, but I managed to do this without using the long wire for the L horn. If you mount the horns as the OP has done- on the outer hole location, the factory wire for the L horn will reach the terminal on the Hella horn. I was able to do this, then run the short ground from this horn to the bolt that was used to mount the factory H horn. Then used the two medium wires to run to the horn on the opposite side of the car from the H harness. Three wires instead of four. :-)
