off topic but just curious if anyone had any hints on how to get moisture out of headlamps?

Great looking ride!
Are you sure it's moisture? I ask, cuz mine has dust inside

 

[iheartfx]

pretty sure it's moisure, it looks like it. i have dust on the other side and this one is definitely from drive through car washes and headlights that aren't sealed as good as they could have been.

i thought about drilling a small hole in the housing where it is hidden under the roof and let some of the moisture escape and then patching the hole. thoughts?

take out two of the bulbs and spray some CDA inside (either can or compressor).
but, if it comes back then you have not sealed you HLs up all the way.

this may sound dumb but what is CDA spray? where can i get it?

CDA = compressed dry air

you will need a air compressor ! lol

or get some 'air in a can' stuff for cleaning computer keyboards etc (Costco has some). Also I think this would work better if done on a hot dry day.

of course this is not the remedy, since moisture got in there somehow and may still be there after.

Whoah, that's f'ing bad ass, your 20"s look bigger than the stock 20"s....actually they look like 22"s! Nice pick!

oven reheat to dry and reseal.

thanks! yeah, black wheels have a tendency to look bigger. it's kinda like a optic illusion because it's hard to tell where the rim ends and tires begin. only drawback is that you have to try to keep the tires as black as the rims because when the tires get dirty, they can end up looking lighter.

Looks really good, One other things you should do is get some Overlays for the Rear bumper reflectors from Bluebatmobile, I ordered some and should have some pics sometime soon..
