How do they look in the daylight, can you tell that you have painted te inside. Got any pics during the day, always a good excuse to whore out your car
Well since I painted the entire housing and not just the top portion they match quite well. It almost had a flatter
Matte finished but yet semi glossy look to them. It is a deeper red that stock lights, which I like.
In a little bit I’ll take my car out back of work like the little dirty whore she is and take some day time pics
Great job! Much better, I still think blacked out looks better on silver
That’s great, it’s also what annoys me a bit about the stock tails, they can have that faded look.
I was thinking the other day. You know the bit you left clear, you should put a light black tint on it to tie in with that black strip at the bottom of your boot lid and rings. Like what arclight on az has done just not as dark.
Can’t wait, love a good whore

After all that I realize the whole point of me taking the pics was for the tails :
She is such a whore…
Those tails look really good, I might have to pick up a set later next year.
When did you get the relak side skirts or are they the DTH ones
Those are the DTH ones. The right side cracked when my jack slipped off the fucking rail and split it. So hence why i wrapped it in CF. Though it is hard to tell unless you look. Komesh didnt realize it. Which is why I did it, subtlty.
Those jacks are the worst part about our cars. At least you were able to fix it like a ninja…
That and the peeling interior >:(
The other shitty part is that it cracked my actual OEM sideskirt too… Such a bitch
So I figure I could post what I am “hopefully” getting for Christmas as it pertains to my car ;D
- JHM Downpipes
- Deval Splitter w/ rods
- USP Lower grill
- Tint (What % do you guys think?)
- Some resonators
- My Camera
oh the list goes on… Thats what I’ll hopefully have on by the first of the year
Don’t get me started on the peelin interior, I will be fixing most of that shortly.
Thats a great christmas list there. The splitter will look great with the DTH skirts. What camera are you getting, I am getting a gopro
I’ll do the b7 center console switch eventually.
Yeah I like the splitter and the rod look. Since I’ll have the supporting speed to back it up =P
It’s a Nikon, I cant remember the model off the top of my head
So I’ve had my car a little over a year now, and she just passed 100,000 miles. I was in a hard spot around 14 months ago losing my truck in a lease and couldnt make payments. I’ve been working for the same business for 2 years then, and did everything I could to keep the job. The owner promoted me to manager and loaned me 10k for a car of my choice, as long as I paid him 150 a check (300 a month) So I took the deal and have been paying it off every pay period. Early last year my “owner” LOL got very ill and almost lost his life on numerous occasions for 2 months straight. During that time, I worked every day, open to close for 2 months straight. At the time, I felt kind of unappreciated as I didnt get a bonus or anthing like that. I just brushed it off and kept working as usual. Just last month he sat me down and told me he was closing the store. It was bitter sweet because I hated the place, but money was good… We closed sunday and I have been working 8 hour days this past week and today he gave me my paycheck and said, “Lets play a game”. Handed him my 150 for payment, and gave him 100 to play his “game”
“Call it in the air, you call it, car is yours with no payment, lose and I keep the 100 and you can try again.” I was going to blow my entire check on this car lol I owed him 5500 left give or take. So its no pocket change.
Called tails, landed on tails first try. Shook my hand and said the car is yours. I about lost it, I was so shocked and happy it was rediculous. It just goes to show that hard work really pays off. This man didnt have to do this for me, nor did he have to pay it off.
I feel so greatful and appreciated its crazy. Finally owned my first car and I couldnt be happier with it.
Now lets go fast already damnit!!! LOL
Update though, cant keep it all mushy. Going to get my tint done next week, along with blacking the roof. 20mm and 15 mm spacers will be in thursday of nect week with a few opther odds & ends I am working out. Then hopefully will be dropping in the downpipes when releashed in the near future.
Wow thats awesome, it must be a nice feeling to finally owe nothing on it.
I would like to get my car paid off this year as well.
So whats next on the job front.
Just such a relief, still cant tottaly believe it. Just an awesome feeling.
I’m not really sure yet, I think I am going to take a little time to relax. Been beating myself this past year working crazy hours. I would love to get on a golf course some where and work my self up. Might be looking into the golf accedemy but not sure.
Wow, Congrats! Too bad about the job and money, but great about the car! A nice bonus for maintaining your composure and sticking it out for the better good. You deserve it, enjoy!
that is some great news! Congrats!
What an awesome stroke of luck! Well deserved by the sounds of it, congrats!
That’s a hell of a story, congrats man.
Congrats on no more payments!
I have a question about your tail lights tho- I got a set of Depo tails for xmas, plugged them in, and they blink/flash in the center section only. I searched audizine and came across this thread:http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/352597-Depo-LED-Taillights?highlight=
I purchased extra resistors like mentioned in post #17, connected them, and they still flash! I’m curious if you had this problem?
Thanks every body, it is def an awesome feeling.
But the only problem I had with my tails a few weeks ago is the pass side would flicker in the bottom right hand side, and no other lights would work on that side. Later that night, went out side and turned them on, worked fine. Not sure at all wtf could be happening. You should check out the led thread. I believe there is one anyway
