So I still haven't done much. Today I had an idea of sectioning off my fire/ EMS gear to the back of my trunk, SO i installed a net. It was pretty easy to install $20 bucks from Advanced auto.

I bought Brake Dust Pro off of Dipyourcar.com and it worked truly amazing.


Its a touchless wheel cleaner, spray it on and hose it off

Your car progress is so sick, a bunch of little things that I've been dying to do and they look beautiful. What were the most.. mmm.. involved(?) steps?

Akhafeez

out of everything i've done?everything has its own involvement step wise. for example the wrap on the roof and vinyl was tedious in itself. The audio unit took a few hours. the headlights needed a removal of the bumper

AarBearr

Ah I understand. The head unit looks sick, I wanna do something like that. And I need new headlight housings.. They're yellowed and won't come clean even with a buffing and headlight cleaner :/

Akhafeez

Yeah headlights was one of my first

What's up with the front license plate? It looks so sad.

Akhafeez

I put it back temporarily when i went back to nj, its ziptied on and bent to the contour of the bumper. I live in long island now and no one really bothers me about not having one

tommy

Odd for someone in EMS to not comply with driving laws, but as long as you're happy...

Akhafeez

all for looks

Haven't posted a pic in a while

For your exhaust is it really rowdy when it's idling and/or do you get any drone driving at highway speeds? I want a little oompph for when I step on it, but when I'm not I want it to be quiet like stock.

Akhafeez

Its still pretty quiet in the idle, i just did a muffler replacement. highly recommend it

TTR

Any drone at highway speed?

Akhafeez

yeah of course, only if you're always on the gas. You're not going to get no drone with any modification

TTR

ahhhhh even if i just did a res del? i want some oomph if i step on it, but quiet if im just cruising.

Akhafeez

look up youtube vids bro. But you can't have the best of both world unfortunately. I wanted the same thing, but I am happy with what I have, I would do it again in a heartbeat

I would suggest these! I have the older LED S class tail lights but I just love these!

Akhafeez

I think i'm gonna go with the S class ones! Thanks!

This weekend I decided to repaint my grille because it was fading.

TTR

alright one more question with regards to the exhaust you chose. why 14830 over the others since they're generic and did you cut your bumper to accommodate the tips?

Akhafeez

generic? not sure what you mean. Also nope it fits perfectly

TTR

Well cuz when I looked up fitment for my car on the websites, 14830 was generic from what I saw. It didn't seem to be a product made specifically for our car. Though I might have read things wrong. Thx for the help!

Akhafeez

Oh now i got ya, well most magnaflows are generic because it wouldn't make sense to make custom ones just for our cars. so with a little cutting and welding this one fits and sounds amazing. you're gonna have to do that with all muffler changes unless is specifically a bolt on which will cost big bucks
