Yeah it is but it's getting sent out to local machine shop to get bead blasted so it's all good. Steam holes also have to get drilled in the heads. You can see where it's all pocked because the previous owner of them had them on a 406 without the steam holes

Ghosn nissan?? And go take your no evidence having deflategate crap somewhere else. And whats wrong with plastidip??? Five bucks gives you a completely different look that protects your rims and that you can change. Also its easy to do, even a dumbass like you can do it. Also new tires so no skidding for me

My current headlights are shit and I need better ones because I drive at night for work five days a week.

Also hard to blind people when everyone in the south drives SUVs, brotrucks, and donks. I'm the one that gets blinded.

>>14153184
I don't see how replacing the shift boot and shitty rubber ebrake grommet with something much nicer is rice. The old ones were shit and needed to go. It's not purely cosmetic, they make the interior feel much comfier and the shifter feels slightly better now. Especially since it's a black boot with subtle blue stitching. Most sporty cars now have red stitching on everything. The shift knob isn't over the top either, just a plain black OEM knob. The old one was trashed from the previous owner. Looked like they scratched it all up with a razor blade.

It could be a LOT worse.

Simple, put car 10 metres from wall on a horizontal surface.
go from center bulb/projector horizontally to wall (with a laser) then those points minus 10cm.
turn lights on. horizontals should be in the points you just made. the angles should be apart just as far as your headlights are apart. That will roughly do.
To do it accurately you need more stuff and some understanding of how them legal thingymajig works and im to lazy to type this out.

In a way, a 76 Ford Courier and a 1965 Mustang.

Set of new tyres (Bridgestone RE003s). Coming off a set of old budget Toyos, it's honestly the best purchase I've made for my car to date. $420 for the set four.

Those are actually some of the only good looking plastidipped wheels I've ever seen.

But just get black ones. Plastidip will start looking like shit pretty soon, especially on your wheels like that.

Got a delrin shift knob for $20 from amazon

It's actually pretty well made and countersunk pretty far
Also won't get hot or cold

Its a little too light weight for my personal preference and makes the shifter feel very notchy but I live in Florida and and the stock mx5 knob gets too hot to touch

Two Thrush "rattler" mufflers for my suburban to replace the generic turbo mufflers that are currently on it.

It has a TBI 350, so the idle is really smooth. It's straight piped right now and sound like a ww2 tank lol
