    Painting Roof Rack

    I would suggest priming the aluminum parts with zinc chromate self etching primer and platic paint primer for plastic screw covers. Then use a flat or semi gloss automotive grade paint.

    Radio console

    Thanks Rondo. Most of it matches color and texture of stock console. Wasn't very hard to do if you can work with wood at all. All accessory wiring comes into two fuseblocks located under console.

    How To: Install Signal Mirrors On 3rd Gen Ex

    Rondo, looking at your how to on the signal mirror it looks like there is space where the puddle light would be to put in the strobe. It just goes out toward the front of the vehicle instead of shining down. Can the original glass be reused or did you break it getting out? I was a "Gator...
