My husband just used a moistened shop towel to clean inside the engine bay...I may consider doing more after the nasty NE winter has passed!

They're Here, and I Don't Like Them :'(

Got my eyes from AC the other day, and will sell them in the Marketplace if any1's interested ($10, which is what I paid).

I didn't realize they had a sort of yellowish area around the eye area. My camera didn't pick it all up, but if you look at the 'left' eye, you can see a little of it on the right side. Just imagine it a little deeper and more of it. * sigh*

Sooooo, I ordered the ones from MINI Pirate, which are prettier and have a nice black border. The only thing I'll miss is the eyelash effect, but they're still cute.

Sorry to hear you don't like yours Violet. Nothing sucks worse than getting something and it wasn't what you expected. You got the next best thing though, and.......they're purple!!!!!!

Oh yeah, here is a crappy iphone pic of one of my eyes while I had the headlights removed.

They're supposed to be dragon eyes. I think most dragons are feral, so, ... yep.
