Wanted to colormatch the bowtie on the center cap in a subtle way. Used 3coats of black then 3 coats of blue plastidip , already knew it was too bright , so I lightly dusted over it with black to darken it up.....it actually worked lol

Used some left over tint to tint the high beam spot that’s not being used.


Swapped the morimoto mini H1 version 7.0 to the newest 8.0 version. A redesigned projector that has a brighter , whiter , and wider beam than the previous version. Comes with a blue lens and J slope shields for a smoother and just plain sexier cut-off
But it means I’ll lose the etching and red passive demon eye. I’m actually okay with that tho.

Some random shots . These posts are kinda all over lol


Also removed the lower lip too. Didn’t wanna chance it getting ripped off during winter since I went down another 1.5” after the HD bumper swap

Had a visitor show up the other night , woke me up around 3am . Looking for left over Halloween pumpkins, they love them. I have video of it, pretty cool. I can hear my guns screaming at me to let them out but not allowed to kill this sweet tasting animal inside city limits


Was about 15 degrees outside , crazy how these animals survive

Found an old aftermarket led 3rd brake light . The one I blacked out when I put in the window strip. It just fell apart in my hand. Tried oven cleaner and it worked for dechroming like most other lights. Looks pretty cool.
min case anyone even cared this is how it looks lol
Leds are directional so the missing chrome won’t effect output

after , wheel polish, glass cleaner, denatured alcohol, acetone , grease/adhesive remover , paint strippers didn’t do crap on cleaning the back of these wheels ..... Acid from Lowe’s did the trick.


This will be the last time you’ll see the Ltz 22s on here forevererererer......View attachment 264014View attachment 264015 View attachment 264016

then a hood polish on the face was much needed..... Magnificento, that’s French for hell yeah brother

Which acid did you get from Lowes? I got some GTAs I gotta try to clean up.

Gonna make me go in my garage ? It’s 5am here


Lol this stuff , mixes well with orange juice for a late night cap

detailers group on fb told me to get acid wheel cleaner, well I checked and there’s none either just in my town or all of Alaska , which doesn’t surprise me. I tested it in a small area and it seemed to do the trick so I sent it.
