MKG your car sounds like sex. LTH all day long for these motors! LOVE IT!

Dude, I really appreciate you guys coming out, we had an awesome time just laughing about the craziest sh1t... I wish yall woulda had a beer or two with us... that woulda topped off the night!:tup:

Hey I didn't have a 10 person team helping me out, which is why it took me forever. Also because I started late :p

Not sure if we could have even done another set of headlights though. Would have been pushing the limit in terms of time. I've decided to do my headlights black with gun metal shrouds. I hope they have Krylon Fusion in the color or something close. Otherwise I might have to use a different paint or just do it all black instead.

Also I had a good idea for our next mod party: painting the door handles. It's something most of us don't have and doesn't seem too hard to do. Also not as much risk as the headlights. What do you guys think?

Also, I appreciate you and Dan coming out to help us after work. Thanks again for the shirts too :tup:

Painting door handles? hmmmm. Kinda hard. Why? You ask... If you want it to look good, you'll have to buy your car's real paint according to your car's paint code. You'll have to shoot real primer & that car's paint.

There's a couple other things you'll need, and i forget what they are. The door handles are not metal, they're plastic, and paint needs a special promoter/applicator to make it stick.

In essence the stages would be...
prep (promoter)
wet sand then primer
paint
clear
wet sand (2000 grit)

And if you want this to look sharp, you cant do it out of a can, its gotta be through a REAL paint gun.

Hey blades, thanks for posting up those pics, I just got to see them, im finally home from work.. Im about to fall asleep for the next 2 days...:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Yeah I would not recommend doing this yourselves. I paid $160 to get both done and it was well worth it. Also bear in mind that if you don't have brand spanking new paint on the car, you're going to need to blend in order to get it to match the rest of the vehicle.

Oh you're missing the "bake" step too for the handles.

There's a gunmetal-ish color. I don't think it's called that though.

Edit: That coffin wing made for a really...unpleasant morning.

So next saturday I'm only going to crack open my right headlight to fix the nicks on it. The other one I'm going to pull out just to reseal but shouldn't take much time at all.

would not recommend a rattle can job on the door handles. WILL NOT look good haha

Thanks man I love the exhaust note with them on.

Who would be down for a sway bar install meet? Maybe next meet we Can get a group tour?

Also see attached!

see... eastwest does know what he talking about.. haha

Dude, I love the lights!

lol the good ole sunfire, nice job!

Yall should do a meet up at my place.. to help install my parts.. i'll buy the food and the drinks..:tup:

Fellas, im headed outside to tackle this headlight problem...i'll keep yall posted!

EW how about putting on those titanium lip konigs of yours!

also I have a good feeling we just forgot to plug the 1 clip in :( was too distracted by how much sealant was all over my hands haha

Well I wasn't going to paint my door handles body color anyway, I was gonna do gun metal to match the wheels. This is something I might try on my own in the future, but probably not anytime soon.

Sway bar meet would be cool, but I'd need to buy sway bars first :icon17:

Dude, you're not gonna believe this, but thats exactly what it was... the clip wasnt plugged in..


:facepalm::facepalm:

Hey fellas, today would be a good day to open up them engine bays and let that sealant soak up some of that sunlight...so it can dry.

One other thing, I went through the seals again with a nice strip calk and I have a pretty good feeling, I hopefully wont be having any condensation problems.. That strip calk although not the best sealant in the world, its not made to be, but its a lot cleaner, and molds VERY VERY well on top of the rubber butyl.

Group buy for some whitelines for a sway bar install meet?

Set it up... lets make it happen!

I'm gonna have to do more research to figure out which ones I want, though at first look it might be Hotchkis.

whats the purpose of sway bars? what do they do?

whitelines on mine... those rock.

Whitelines pretty much shut out all other brands when it comes to sways on the 370 platform.

EW they stop body roll and allow you to really hug through the turns. Its a great handling add on.

ahhh thanks bro... i appreciate that man.

Begging you not to do this on your own.

Meh it didn't look that bad when I plasti dipped them. If they turn out bad, at worst I waste a day's worth of time and like $30 in supplies. I could always take them to a shop if that does happen.

Did some research on sway bars for a customer, everyone rocks either whitelines or eibach. Either or I would def upgrade the rear endlinks to whitelines adjustable beefier endlinks.

I know one thing, i need to install the parts that I have sitting around the house..lol

I'm probably just gonna stalk the classifieds till I find a good deal on sways.

I am in for the Whiteline group buy

we're a vendor for both whiteline and eibach

let me run some numbers for you guys tomorrow

black plasti dipped coolant tank looks 100x better in the engine bay. just make sure to mask off the scale on the side so you know how much coolant is in it

Nice :happydance:

Damn, you didnt take any pictures of it?
