what didn't i do to the fit today?...hmm...


Changed the spark plugs to the E3 ones SID recomends in his DIY. Guy at ORiely who sold em to me also uses them and likes them a lot. (I did feel a little bit quicker on the butt dyno, tbh)

Sanded and painted + clear coated the Mugen wing vinnimac sent me.

Removed old OEM spoiler from car, bondo'd holes up. Going to sand them down on Tuesday and hopefully repaint that area the same day.

Not sure when i'll be able to install the wing (ryannnnnnnnnnnn i need your drill! and skills )



exhausted!

That Map light idea is awesome! where did you get the lights from?
Will do this instead of wiring LED's!

Edit: found them at HomeDepot

I was hoping it was hardwired, cause I put my radar detector right next to my mirror, and I've been trying to find a way to hard wire it so that I dont have to run the power from the cigarette lighter all the way up. Was hoping for some pointers

I did my own Red Badges. The rear I actually took the emblem off, did it right. And the the front and steering wheel i just did inserts, not perfect but it works for a poor man's budget!

If you get a longer wire you can run it down one of the side pillars under the plastic and through the dash, it shouldn't be to hard. GL
