[Psiclne]

wow - so you used up most of the 3 day weekend on the FX???? Looks good Ash.

 

[asherchy]

no, most of the time was spent on the headlights and then the angels didnt work... boyfriend said alot of bad words...

 

[Psiclne]

Dude that sucks - But thats the reason why I never went with the AE - too much damn drama........

 

[asherchy]

guess i just got lucky with the first ones... so ill be putting those back in with third attempt headlight (think ive figured out exactly what i want)... when the hid fogs arrive... and my seamless grill is done...

 

[trainerKEN]

Looks Great!

did berto not give the caps, or you decided to keep'em off?

 

[asherchy]

havent repainted the caps yet...

 

[HumbertoCALI]

I LOVE the TENTEN...ha ha haLooking ggod ash. we need to take some pics of your baby together.

 

[909FX]

Wow Ash, looks like you had a busy weekend. Came out really good. Looks like you and me are the only ones with those LED side view mirrors. hahahahaa

 

[Dr.2K]

Wheels look really clean Ash! Sorry to hear about the AE's.

 

[PhantomFX]

Looking awesome :top: I like the mirrors and angel eyes, were the mirrors a hard install?

 

[turbocad6]

looks nice.. are you going to do the grille black? is the billet staying silver? the black emblem in the back is a nice touch...

when I saw the tittle of your thread I thought of gilda radner & a saturday night live skit

 

[PELON]

Looks good, I eventually would like to put all my chrome to black. How easy did rear emblems remove?

 

[jc'sfx]

Nice Job Ash!!! ... what happened with the spoiler?

 

[asherchy]

the mirrors were easy as i haent wired them up yet... i had an 'accident' early friday morning before coffee and broke off the mirror cover... i still need a replacement passenger mirror but i put the led ones so it didnt look like something outta terminator... screwdriver from the top popped them off..
the billet is staying silver for now since the top grill is silver... when the top one changes, so does the billet... snl... weekend update... thats exactly where i was going... thanks for paying attention today bueller
the rear emblem i hear came off very easily... i had no part in the removal... i did get to paint it and put it back on though... there was ALOT of sticker left on the car, that took awhile to get off... i used a shiny paint to offset the satin of the wheels

the spoiler
mmmmmm.... well, it was a cold n stormy day here in LA... some of you might be calling BS on my story now but its true... freakishly cold, windy, and rainy... i read that the spoiler wanted to be heated up to bend easily and as a certain moppy headed roommate broke my blowdryer, i thought id leave it next to the heater. well... i left it on top of the floor heater for 5 minutes but my mom called and i talked to her for like 40 minutes and forgot all about the spoiler until the smoke alarm went off. paint was peeling off, rubber was bending, and i was crying. cest la vie i suppose... i never win anything and when i do, i burn it.... ordered another one though so yay.

 

[gto]

Mods look very good.
Bummer 'bout the lip, but at least you didnt burn the place down

 

[Deecarp]

Looks great Ash, sorry about the spoiler though.

 

[IlovemyFX]

Looks good ash. I recently put in a black billet grill that I bought from SDMF but I like the stainless a little better. Did you have any shadowing effect on the paint when you pulled the emblem?

 

[asherchy]

i have to look at just the right angle with the right lighting to notice it... and mine is an 04
i tried to photograph the difference and i couldnt get it to register...

 

[FX.35]

Nice
