Info: I was thinking we could start a little facts game. Where we share facts about the the fx that we know....This could also provide information to a new fx owner that is just learning about their fx.

Rules: Only one fact per day per member, and this fact must be true.

customizing facts:

all years & models:



the headlights on the fx are easy to open for modification, heat them up to soften the sealer & they seperate/pop open, but the tailights are bonded as one piece & require cutting/surgery, there not designed to be servicable

did you test it to confirm dave?

 

[gto]

Just stating the obvious, . . & yes, it's true

 

[turbocad6]

yeah right:

girls + perception of $$$ = girl puts out...


new fx >$$$ over old fx, therefore this formula tells different

 

[gto]

I dont think girls have any idea how much the old one costs. Older still looks & sounds money & doesnt look dated yet at all. Besides, lowering & 22's over 2nd gen Stocks win anyday. I've yet to see one modd'd.
. . Except for this one, & this is from the rear. Front?
