Looking forward to it!

fedyfedz · 05-10-2011, 08:00 AM

in these shot my fogs were off becasue one of the bulbs was out.

soon to come are custom projector halos!!!

MillerTimeX17 · 05-10-2011, 11:40 AM

Looks good fedy! Time for some HID retrofits though!!

fedyfedz · 05-10-2011, 11:57 AM

i know what you mean i have an extra set of ballast's and will defiently get to it by the end of summer. i have about 3 projects in the works, projector halo blacked out headlights and a lcd 7 inch screen for the back that will hook up to my deck, the one thing that is holding me back with the hids on the roof rack is every thing else i have is hid and i like having the ability to turn on the halogen quickly and not have to wait for the hid's to warm up. I call them my F*** You lights only use them when someone cuts me off or really bad road conditions and no one is around.

Millertime how is your voltage at idle with all of those things lit up? I am working on wiring in my 4 100W halogens that I just installed and am wondering what my voltage might be at idle with those, all my other headlights/fogs, and a/c running.

MillerTimeX17 · 05-10-2011, 12:44 PM

Ronin, I can have all my lights on, a/c on, system blasting, efan turning, and still idle around 14.1v.

I usually have my lights covered anyways, so cant use them for raging purposes. My finger works just as good though!

Thanks for the reply! As I don't have an e-fan (yet) or an aftermarket sound system, I think I should be OK then!

Hey man, just one question... do you have your lights at the bumper or you have a light bar? I can not see well on the night shots.

Looks great!!

43 · 05-11-2011, 03:52 PM

I think that they're behind the grille.

fofopirata · 05-11-2011, 04:20 PM

I thought that as well but looking at the shots, I didn't see any lines from the grill obstructing the lights but I'm not sure, I hope he can answer that...

Thanks man!

Edit: My bad, I just saw another pics in this thread from him saying that the lights are behind the grill....

Never posted pics of my latest install but here it is. Alpine IXA-W407 7" double DIN. Install was easy and also added on a PAC Tr-7 bypass. I was able to keep all my old alpine peripherrals too! Heres a few shots:

*lynchy wa* · 05-12-2011, 04:08 PM

Sweet, modern day drive-in!

*Kazer* · 05-12-2011, 08:26 PM

found a 7-10 inch piece of scrap aluminum at work today, its cut at a 45 degree angle and its 2.75" inner diameter. im working on how to attach it to the tip of my exhaust pipe. stock exhaust is 2.5" so i plan to run a 3 to 4 inch piece of 2.5" ID 4130 snug over the stock exhaust and use that as a sleeve and fit the aluminum tip over that. any suggestions on how i can hold this all together? i was going to drill and tap 2 holes in the end of my pipe and new tip and just use set screws...
