Replaced the rear exhaust hangers!

Now the exhaust won't hit the rear suspension

Replaced the normal door lights/map/reading lights with red LEDs... Looks pretty cool, I think... just adds a little extra personalisation to it
Pics taken in my garage ('scuse the dodgy phone camera quality... you get the idea!)




@bourbon (below): Ya, but my car's red/black throughout, including rims, seats, sound system, etc... anything red or white kinda glows this bright red, though

blue/black lights would be cool so anything white glows in the dark

If you do make up your mind and want some proper laminate, let me know as I am thinking about purchasing some laminate cutouts for my headlights from Lamin-X (where I got my fog tint from), as we can get it cheaper combined

Cheers

counting on a decent ATAR (UAI) result, Combined Degree Electrical Engineering/Business '

EDIT:
also just replaced a broken speaker grill on the rear passenger side.
which means
besides the electric aerial (And to be honest who gives a toss)
i have just fixed every thing that was wrong with the car when i bought it

changed my lights back to halogens...
with the current weather i decided it was too dangerous to drive around with only one headlight

still no word from this guy about a replacement. getting cranky :[
looks like i'll have to just buy another whole kit or try and buy an individual ballast.

buy a whole kit - if you dont you know what will happen 2 days later to the other one!

today i siphoned 20litres of bp ulitmate out of the work ute which was getting traded in this arvo... seemed a waste to give them 50ltrs of fuel!

so after 200kms my guage is still reading full :P

Changed the Oil & Filter this morning, along with installing the AutoExe rear sway bar, wish I would have done it sooner, its soo much more predictable and turn in & grip is greatly increased

Sounds good What size is that rear sway bar Marc? reckon it'd make the car slide out if you had to swerve an obstacle on the road quickly? (safety aspect)
