    Should I paint my slicers?

    On darker SHOs, blacked out center portion (but not the SHO label) looks pretty nice too:

    Another Tire Question....

    Hey Brett, Those Kumhos are simply way overpriced in Ontario. If you don't mind driving, appearantly there are places in Buffalo/Niagra that will match Tire Rack prices. Sorry don't remember any more details.

    Blacked Out Tail Lights

    Hey Chris, I thought you would be some mechanical upgrades when I did not see u in the lighting forum? I totally agree that blacked out lights look great for SHOW, but using them at the road, well... I wouldnt dare.. I'm too afraid of getting whiplashed and thats a dark tunnel that noone should...

    A better way to clean headlights

    He has probably found some tip on my headlight faq (see link below). However, what he forgot is one important thing. The most commonly used plastic in headlamps are lexan (polycarbonate). In its pure form it is not UV nor scratch resistant. Normally the front glass are treated with a protectant...

    'New' headlights

    Hey, I thought I give some alternatives to HID kit. Gen III has enourmes headlamps and can hold any OEM Bi-Xenon unit. There are headlamps on ebay.com that you can buy as low as a HID kit. Its obviosly not a plug and thingy. But if you are handy you can make it a winter project. Wouldnt you...

    Complete Car Bushings?

    I'm in for a full set of all suspension bushings. Please do NOT include the 4 subframe bushings. So many people have upgraded them anyways!

    3 different questions...

    3. Raspiness. Remember its a Japanese engine and if it was cut in half to 3 cylinders, it would probably sound like a Civic.... eek! Many people swear to hi flow glass packs in the middle to take the rasp away. Opening up exhaust system totally like you describe, will most probably hurt...

    head light mods

    The stock SHO headlamp creates too much glare for HID lighting. Try stuff in a 130W H4 bulb, place it correct in focal point and check out beam pattern.... its a joke. If you really want HID with high and low beam in a 9007, goto http://www.hidkits.com/ and look at the "9007 Bi-Xenon". (I think...

    PIAA headlights and fog lights

    yea, stay away from PIAA bulbs. They are way too overpriced, under perform and shortlived. If your front lenses are still looking good (less than 60k or 4 years), go for the Sylvania Silverstar or Narva. If not, there will not be a visible difference. They arent as long lived as OEM either, but...

    head light mods

    Cool finding, Ian! I'd go to a yard and check difference. As for the quality of aftermarked projector headlamps, dont expect too much. But its a nice basis for mending in some real projector units!

    Undercoat question.....

    I would be careful Duraliner. It would probably be too thick and create some air bubbles. It might sound stupid, but under the car, the paint is hanging, not lieing, therefor air bubbles can appear if coating is thick. Air bubbles contains moistrue - and rust continues. A much better approach is...

    body side molding

    Epoxy can only be removed mechanically. I use silicone as much as possible, its easy to remove.
