Just remember getting the cat off is a bitch so make sure you have a drill, bits, and possibly a sawz all. I had to drill out 8 maniac's and he already had a mid pipe. The studs gets jacked up and makes it difficult.

yeah we will be here doing stuff on saturday



yeah i was looking into doing an engine bay LED..... but not ordering it, building it myself and using heat shrink tubing to protect it

I was checking out radio shack and altex for the circuit boards and super leds.... and we can get 18 gauge 2pr anywhere pretty much, and a simple push button to turn on and off

But will the small ground wire on the lighter fit in the other end or will it be too small?

I was thinking and this might be a better solution. Look on the drivers side either behind the kick panel or under the dash for a factory ground point. Should be easy to find where a bunch of "eye" connectors will be mounted to a single 10 mm bolt. Then just run your ground to this point.

I would come on Sat but i already have plans...

Sorry brother, I'm going to the San Diego game in Dallas the weekend before so I will have the kiddos the weekend of the 19th. I was actually considering a road trip to New Orleans to see that game but it may cost too much

Yeah corn is correct LED lights draw such little amperage there are very few considerations for grounding.

So who is gonna help Saturday? Also, I know my friend Hector (tire shop owner) would want to kill me if I didn't send him a ton of business but today I took him one of our company vans for brakes, oil change, etc. and after comparing rims I decided not to go with the gun metal color rims.

I kind of set some up next to the car for a rough look and the gunmetal color of the model 045's is too light and once I install them they are mine so after trying several other brand styles (not the same size, offset, etc but close) I have narrowed it down to these in 18X8" and +35 offset.

Keep in mind that the offset I chose will look different because they are more concave


I know the black is played out but after searching through the forums I could only find black mesh wheels with a chrome or silver lip and these have more a pin stripe. They go with the black/red theme on the outside and the black/silver scheme on the inside.
