my shift **** broke off a while ago so i just stuck a plastic baggy in the whole on the **** and jammed it on the shifter. hasnt come off after a year.

 

I had a friend with a VW Passat who rearranged the letters to say: TAP ***

 

The Cake is a LIE!

 

The Cake is a LIE! Awesome. Glados themed interior next?

 

just curious if anyone knew how much cf material i would have to purchase to be able to take care of the dash and downtubes? i was thinking a 12x12 might not be enough? but then again who knows

 

A $6 can of VHT Night Shades and I was able to black out my wheel well reflectors, and side markers . It was an easy and fun afternoon project.

 

That looks better than my idea!

 

^ Thanks! The light transmission on the wheel well reflectors is pretty dim, but it's still legal. The turn signals are much better, you can see them clearly when illuminated. Having done it, I would suggest a light sanding of the reflectors so the VHT sticks better. I think that was part of my problem, coverage was poor so I used more coats, and it got too dark. Looks slick in the daytime though

 

I want your rims soooo bad... I'm shopping around for some nice 16"s for her, but having a hard time finding decent ones in white.

 

Thanks!
I love the look. They were on the car when I bought it. I would caution you though, they are a BEAR to keep clean. The brake dust collection on white wheels is a nightmare. If you keep em clean though, I think the look is tough to beat.

 

I bet! Even my greys get dirty as hell. I'm thinking of getting them buffed up and powdercoated as soon as I can... I wash her about once a week anyways, so they'll always be nice and shiny.

 

I got my white 15 in team dynamic wheels couple months ago, yes the brake dust was horrible... but well worth it.

My suggestion, buy some low brake dust brake pads. I went with EBC, but there is also Hawk, and some other... check out Waymotorworks.com or give him a call he will help you out with some nice low emittance brake pads

 

Will the EBCs fit stock calipers? I was under the impression you needed a BBK. If not, that's wonderful! I'll definitely do that.

 

EBC makes greenstuff pads for nearly all calipers, including OEM.

 

Sweet!

I know yours is an old post (2010) but doesnt that spring look like the one in the back of a Maglight where the end cap screws on? Whats the size difference in the two?

 

My D.C.M (dorky cheapskate mod)

 

oopS is FANTASTIC. Love it.

 

LOL, only one I've seen other than mine. Had it since 08 when I got my mcs, always brings comments from folks.

 

oop S, I LOVE it! lol

 

Bahahaha! My Mini had that when I bought it used, but since then I've changed it to the R53! It's definitely a nice touch!

 

OOPS

Glad to see this thread still gets action!

 

@GumbyLara, what tail lights are those?

 

eBay tails. They were like 30 bones. I know ACT04 has the same ones and had them painted red to match his body color. Luckily mine came paint matched with dark silver so I didn't have to change them but his look sick too!

 

OK, I'm gonna contribute one photo for this thread. I removed the cup holder on the right pillar and mounted my Sirius Satellite radio on it early last year. Used a 3-4" threaded shaft, three nuts, and a small piece of sheet steel bent at a 90-degree angle.
