Ordered Pair of smoked indicators the other week, and just ordered my LaminX Gun smoke Fog light tint.
was extremely tempting just to get the 'Tint' film for the headlights too... but thought it was a waste with the lenses i have I promise to upload a pic of the window tinting tonight lol

The only reason you like that one is because i spent 20 minutes cloning out all your stone chips I'll re-do the first one with some more sharpness and do the same to it. |

Alrighty... Well...
As Ben heard on Friday night, had a lot of noise comming from the rear end of my car. Best description I can give is that it sounded like really bad shock knock. Was 95% certain it was the swaybar. Dropped it off the car yesterday (noise got a lot worse Saturday) drove it... Noise gone! The sway bar was hard up against the subframe... And I think just the fact that the metal was a lot colder over the last few days which made it noisier. Emailed Pete from wholesale yesterday afternoon. He got back to me lastnight!! Story has it that his 2 are fine, but mine rubbed, and do did another bar on one of their customers car. Pete was more than happy to help, but wasn't in until later this week. So figured... If its already rubbing... May as well file 1-2mm off on that point. So I did... Also gave the subframe a gentle massage with a small ballpein Just light taps to give an extra mm. Just as a side note, pete said just to grind back the doughnut a little and/or massaging the subframe. I just wanted a bit of confirmation from him before I did So long story short... all is well... Definitely not touching anymore... Bout 2mm clearance. Oh, I also changed across to the stiffer setting. Not big difference obviously, but it is noticeable and definitely even better to drive! Loving tht bar like crazy

Done a few things to the beast... Just small things.
Here are the pics! First... LaminX gunsmoke tint on the foggies and clear/smoked side blinkers. Second... Was sick of the white/cream ish faced dials... So put these in: And third... JDM tail lights (top parker/brake and bottom Parker) also with autoexe tail light covers. So the dials do look very NFS as marc pointed out... but I still Rly like them And it has been decided the autoexe covers will be painted blue... The same colour as the car at the same time as I get my respray. Black looks ok... But just stands out a bit too much. Let me know what you guys think of the dials and tail lights!

Looking good man rear lights look sick, and hey the dials might be NFS underground 2 ish but its different and i like them aswell, looks sorta like the mx5 dials,
Over all looks good, and agreed with the colour match with the tail light covers

Really was sick of those white face ones Btw.. The ones that I have for you aren't yellowish white like the SP20 ones... They are actually white white. You will defs be happy with the dials I have here for you. But you should really get some gauge rings! Sets them Off nicely.
