After 3 solid years of searching I found a brand new set of original apc clear oem style lenses, brand new never installed.

Only us old timers know what these are.

What a find!!!! Super jelly, i’ve been hunting for a minute now trying to find a decent set of clears. Congrats on bagging that unicorn

Got some Jdm astar type 2 switchbacks. Crazy bright lights. Replaced my generic 60smd led type 2 switchbacks.

They have an issue with turning gold after longtime use.

Scored a set of front doors for $50. Needed a ds window regulator, ds didn't work but ps did. Still got extra parts and also windows, which I removed the tint... so if I get a ticket for tint on my windows now I have backup clear windows for the fix it ticket.

Can't beat $50 for some good lime green doors. Btw--were they from a county vehicle or something? The green looks factory.

Actually it was originally blue and fully repainted by my buddy that works at the paint supply shop where I always get my paint materials. The green is a oem pearl green off a early 2000s porche.
That buddy sold it to my other buddy and it got stolen and wrecked. Was a really nice truck

Spectre cai . Not sure how I feel about it, but it does look cool lol. Tight fit against the fan shroud and had to use my airaid rubber coupler to fit around the maf because the spectre one was too loose. Anyone have issues with that? They change maf sensors between 00-06? Bought this used.

Looks good!
I think mine is the same one. I like it a lot. I didn’t have any fitment issues at the fan shroud. It’s a little tight squeeze where the cone filter meets the fender and it takes a minute to get it in and out when it’s time to clean the filter. But they than that I don’t have any issues and none with the MAF.

Seems to me I had to use a part of the stock stuff, a rubber sleeve or something. But it’s in Chase’s rig now.

You can see those speakers were getting soaked from the "normal" leak and started to rust very quickly. Couldn't manage to find a straight answer on why both my front doors leak but until i do I got some foam baffle surrounds, not for sound quality, but to deflect the water away from my brand new CT sounds mids. Cut the bottom out a little but still have the top and sides for deflection. These will not be needed in the rear.

Also got my new matching rear door speakers. Was gonna go 6.5 but they had a deal on the 5.25s. They line up exactly in the oem brackets.
