Dont know the name, but you can find them on ebay easily. They are bright and look great, but some have questions on longevity but I have had no problems.

I took out the spare tire and checked air pressure,
5lbs.
Filled it up and put it back. It's actually a cool looking doughnut wheel. The jack is aluminum and very very light weight. It's a very cool set up.

Nothing broken, Pipe. You just have to scroll to the right about 13 feet.

My only personal gripe about color changing cars is the amount of effort involved for me. It erks me to know that under the carpet/dash/under the car/inside the fenders/under the spare tire/under the amp in the frunk/inside the engine bay/in the area where the strut mounts sandwich/in the scaffolding of the deck lids and all the areas in between have the original color. I've done one color change that's enough for me (I color changed under the carpet and all the above listed areas).

Car looks nice though.

Saturday, low temperature thermostat, water pump, flushed twice, new G40, top up power steering fluid, oil change, and a wash. Running quieter and cooler 🙂

Added another amplifier, 5.25 polk coaxials in the doors, and got a 987 factory subwoofer and replaced the factory woofers with Morel woofers.

Just to help with the high-res post, I can add that I will attempt to do some paint correction work myself. Picked up clay bar and will be sourcing a Dual-action polisher and cutting/polishing compounds.

I'll see how many dents I can remove from the bodywork this way

Weather has been so crappy in the pacific northwest that I haven't even bothered insuring it yet!

Replaced the amber turn signal bulbs with some chrome ones.

Probably something nobody will notice but me, but not bad for $10 and 5 min

Before on left, after on right:



Both done:

No, portrait pics are fine. It's the huge landscape pics that don't fit the screen and make you have to scroll right. You're good.

I actually posted pics like that once, before I figured out how to downsize them.

I’ll choose the smallest option or self ban myself from posting pics.

Thank you

No worries, I just hate how it reminds me how crappy my phone is. LOL

Nice car though. You left us classic silver guys for red?!?!?

No worries, bud. We won't bite. (Well, maybe Starter986 would ) Like I said, I made that mistake once too.

A deer was nice enough to introduce himself to my fender early this morning.

On the bright side, it looks to be just a fender and headlight. Feeling lucky it didn't hit the windshield, hood or come in the cab (had top down).

Edit: I tried to make pic smaller with a resizing app, dont think it worked. Sorry guys. Go easy on me.
