What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Thanks Wayne. I've been trying to find a way to tint my tail lights without having them painted by a body shop.
 
thanks guys. Unfortunately they don't make a pre cut film for the rear but they do have universal ones available. It's a pretty straight forward process. I think by looking at it the front is the more challenging one...

Not sure how I would feel about using film on the rear lights, since it's so curvy.
Lamin-x is best used on the fog lights, because the small amount of curves creates a lot less bubbles and less chance of peeling off

I don't think the front would be difficult to cover but the rears would probably need to be cut up into separate pieces and I'm not sure how well that would hold up over time.
 
Replaced my spark plugs on the 50. I am now good for another 105,000 miles.

Pretty easy and straightforward DIY.

Next up is finally installing my lowering springs. Hope to tackle that tomorrow
 
WP_20160807_15_15_59_Rich (3).webp Finally had time to install the H&R springs. Back took about 20 min total. The front was about 3.5 hours.

I was initially concerned the drop would not be enough but after getting them on its perfect. About a one finger gap all around. the ride is a bit stiffer also. here are a few pics.

Sweet drop. If tire wear is too much, there are aftermarket control arm remedy now for the 2nd Gen ;).
 
thanks guys. Giving it a few days before I get the alignment done. Camber does not look to bad as it sits but once it's on the rack we will see how far off spec it is
