TNPaparazzi Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I might be there depending on work.. I don't find out if I have work or not till 230 the same day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Got my whole front clip off have it all on my bed in my dorm room and covered car up outside with my car cover... Going to clear the headlights tonight but just remembered I have an 8:30am appointment for my 30k mile service so i need to get the headlights cleared tonight then put them back on the car. Either have to do the bumper/grille after I get theheadlights mounted back up and working tonight or in the morning like 7:30AM before I take the car in to the scooby dealer. On a side note put my AVO filter in today, already had done the silencer delete and I like the sound of the combined silencer delete and the new filter a lot. Nice roar from under the hood when you hit 3kRPMs and get on it... I got class at 6:30 so im just getting something to eat right now but when i get back 8:30 to 9 ill be starting on the headlights. So far so good... Rob if you want to come help i wont be baking the lights up till I get out of night class around 8:30 u can give me a call 20three-91O-486three Dont want some stupid internet scanner to pick up my phone number and sign me up for some pay 5 dollar ringtones...

CTATV Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I did mine last night they came out good. I ended up going 240 degreese for 12-14 minutes, then after putting back together two 5 minute runs followed by lots of squeezing came out great accept for one chip in the "chrome" i got when taking the first reflector clear piece out of the surround. nobody can even tell accept me cause i know its there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Glad it worked out for you. That temp was a little high, did you need gloves?? LOL I used a small microfiber cloth for the first minute or two then it was touchable after that... Coxx had reccomended 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubOperator Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'm on lockdown for spending 400 bucks on headlights:eek:, Any pics/specs on your new HIDs ? I am still debating whether to do simple upgrade on LGT and SB9T to OSRAM bulbs or go full length to HIDs on both. Need more light for sure. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilSparkPlug Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Ha ha I'll be posting them up shortly I have to go tanning before the place closes (flame on brothers...LOL) and then I'll be back to edit them and post them up here and on NASIOC. They came out much better this time now that I used Dynamic focus and the timer. Good times last night.

CTATV Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 thanks for the pics. Wow your camera takes really nice pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilSparkPlug Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 It ought to! Ha ha! Its a Nikon D40 Digital SLR. I've gotta grab a circular polarizer for the day shots (not those but ones with sun) and then I should be set. The camera was a decent chunk of change. I'm still learning all its features though. I'll get better as time goes on. I love these meets for two reasons, I have fun, and I get to practice with the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilSparkPlug Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 If you ever want me to take more, I'd be glad to. When it gets warmer I want to find different spots in that area to take pictures, theres plenty of light to work off of. I'd have way more practice with it already if I had all my summer gear on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
