putting your "2 cents" into something, means basically just giving your opinion or chiming in on a topic, so to speak...
lol i think Tein S-tech cost like 150 or soemthing, but install cost about another 200

yeah me too, I'm gonna do orange food lighting, and gonna tap them into my shifter. I also bought a new "AVIC N2" key, and gonna open it up and turn the ugly, non-matching blue light to orange

Where in the shifter? I want a constant power source so I can turn them on even when the car is off, even though 95% percent of the time the car would be on, and I'd also put a switch to turn them on/off as I please...

Any suggestions as to which LED provides the best look for footwell? I don't have a problem getting a 6" strip either if I could find it in UV

personal modding threads rock !!

beats creating a new thread every time someone changes a light bulb or vacuums the carpets !

I would like to do a roof spoiler only maybe...I haven't given it major consideration yet....the only thing is I don't want to spend a ton of money on it

So now that I have the 19s and stuff...do I still use the same recommended tire pressure? I've hit some potholes lately, lol and I became curious...from what I see, I already have one extremely tiny nic...lol

EDIT: And I just realized that my sig picture does not do my rims justice...they look much better (and bigger) in person...so I'll try and get a better pic soon..

I bought the 2005 sport sedan springs, so it will lower it a lil bit...good enough for me...I don't want a slammed look, nor crappy ride....

Does anyone know the answer to my previous question about the tire pressure??

Can you show me a close up from your door handles?

Does the chrome cover the handles to? or is it just a shell inside?

Thanks.

They cover the bowl area under the handles, so the handle is actually still the color of the car...it stands out very good on silver, and most likely a lot on a black car...anyways my pics are post # 6 of the thread below...

Yeah...i need to check the tire pressure, perhaps if it is lower I will move it up to 40...
