As for the lighting, I respect that i didnt figure everyone would like it. It really isnt that bright when you are looking at it from a standing position so it is ambient lighting at best. Not that the car needs it but it looks like it is mad with the red behind the grill matches the mad eyes. Going to see the painter tomorrow hopefully to see what it is going to take to do the wheels. |

when you unplug the hose near your right side exhaust to keep the flap open at all time. creates a deeper sound. i think this is the fastest DIY

in the window section. it is u channel. I bought like 6 feet of it an dcut it to size the using a grinder I shaped the edges, then i used a wire brush to add the detail to the aluminum. You can also use a 800 grit sand paper to add brush marks instead of the wire pattern that i have. what ever your taste is. You can use a clamp of some kind to bend the U channel so that it forms to the roll bar. I also thought about doing a one piece top to bottom but not sure if i like that it just seems to big of a clamp.

The plasti dip mod looks good. How is the durability from rock chips and such?

Had my plastic dip for 4 months now. still hold up. Even when sprayed with pressure washer, it still looks good.
First pic of the original gray left, plasti dip on right with stock grille Second pic of the plasti dip with black grille. I sprayed about 6 coats of plasti dip, highly recommend getting a "can gun" Something like this will help. http://www.amazon.com/Can-Gun1-2012-..._sim_sbs_hg_11 |

I really like the wind deflector. Very clean looking. Any chance you'd be willing to make another (for a price of course)?
Overall the car looks great. The red glow reminds me of the furnace in nightmare on elm street.. |
