Thanks. I was going for a color-matching look, but I realize the pearl white paint is hard to recreate!

It's definitely not a bad job. I rather have that than have someone who doesn't do it and blind oncoming traffic. But because i'm not going to do HID because of too many bad quality kits out there that's local i'll stay with an H9 --> h11 convert.

TRS (http://theretrofitsource.com) has the best quality HID kits out there, not to mention awesome tech support. They are a lot pricier than most, but from personal experience, I am sure that I got what I paid for.

What I'm using in my retrofit are Mini H1 projectors and XB35 5000K bulbs. I'm just waiting for the sun to go down so I can aim these babies!

Installed a new clutch in the car. ACT street disc.
Took out the 6-puck.
Shifting is so much nicer. Idle is nice and quite. And it behaves like a standard disc clutch. It was worth every hour of the install.

How hard is it to install? Is it doable at home with just a jack and a couple stands?

Yep! That's what we did. Jordan (@NotSoJDM) helped me out.

Also, changed the tranny and diff fluid to AMSoil Severe Gear.

It's owned by viper car alarms, had more security features than a viper of comparison in price and main reason it was on amazon for $230 shipped retails at $600 usually lol.

I washed it

Meanwhile the Vette still sits dirty in the garage. Funny how priorities change

BlueDubbinTDI · 06-30-2013, 01:57 PM

Just had my first bad hydroplane. About 2 more feet back and the rear suspension wouldve been totaled on the median. Thank god that wasn't the case

What brand is that hood? Do they have an option without the vents alongside the scoop?

I did 15% tint all around with the windshield banner.
