      The latest...

      Just traded my halo's to Jeremy (gaspo) for his stockers, which I didn't know that they where "whistlers" which is one less thing I have to do

      I am going to take them to work on Monday and sand them down and throw some clear on them They should look brand new. Anyone know where I can get some new weather stripping for these? Its not a huge concern but I would like them to look a bit better.

            The should come out brand new. As long as there isn't anything on the inside that is. If there is then I am going to have to split the headlights and clear on the inside too. I will hopefully get them done beginning of this week. I know we have a really busy day on Monday so it might be tuesday or wednesday.

            My only guess is a place that use to make these headlights, like a factory. But chances of finding this factory are slim to none. Maybe a aftermarket company that still produces these headlights?

                            possibly ^^


                            I torqued all of the bolts for the relocation brackets and lca's. Also dropped off the wheels for powdercoating!!! Put the grill back in, headlights are in. Pictures coming soon!!!

                              I can't wait to get the wheels back from the powder coater.

                              I torqued all of the bolts to spec and used locktite.









                              Here is everything finished, the whole exhaust from headers back have stainless band clamps



                              Got the PCM out, just need to contact Frost and send it out.



                              Put the grill back in, it was double sided taped and I used some new stuff but I don't think its going to hold. Worse comes to worse I put a rivet in the top side of it where you can't see unless you bend down and look under the lip. :/ don't want to but don't really have a choice.



                              Also as you can tell, headlights are back in. I still am not a 100% on the fitment. Maybe its the aftermarket bumper... fml. Also the recleared parking lights are in.

                                That's what Kolin and I did with his SLP grille, haven't had a problem yet and you can't even see the plastic rivets
