i called the dealer and looks like you can no longer purchase just the covers. they have been redesigned (i'm sure to be easier to remove!) and have to buy all 4 pieces. retail $600+, but he quoted my about $350. not worth it when i am just going to wrap them anyways.

twit!!

overZealous1

putting in about 10 hours a day on it and not scheduling any work till it is done or it will take forever!!
hoping next week. ordered my last round of parts today i think i need to totally wrap it up. i still have most all weatherstripping to do, finish running my dual wb's and boost gauge, reweld on the resonators, make exhaust tips, drop trans pan and swap out for the blue top solenoids (if car doesn't have them), finish wrapping up trunk, finish installing and aligning all front body panels and hood and side skirts, modifying inner wheel wells to work with misha kit, install all the grill material........................................ph uc it, lots more!!

got some custom long tube headers now with dual 3" going into a 6"x3" oval pipe through center of car, then exits to 2-3" then only the stock resonators used for mufflers. no cats or anything else. it is actually quiet at idle, but that changes when throttle on, haha.

well, the project for today. believe it or not both headlights were fully assembled and the stock chrome at 11am this morn. it is now 9pm and they have been pulled apart, painted black, projectors installed on high beams, error free led bulb in high beam for when driving lights are on, and led drl's installed, drl's wired to car with a mode selecting controller. can adjust brightness, strobe, heart beat, and quite a few other things. baking the enamel in the oven for 30 mins at 170 degrees allowed for the ability to handle and install within an hour of painting.
i did satin black on everything, then gloss black on the bezels only. the drl's are just a simple self adhesive 12" strip. i placed them in the position i did so you couldn't directly tell it was just an led strip, and that they reflect down and give the appearance there are about 50 led's due to reflection. it gave a pretty cool look, and to me, look like it could have been something stock. i am happy with the look.
this is quickly turning into a show car, so they fit right in. i also could not help myself and got a set of the mercedes door led's that shine the star and "mercedes benz" onto the ground when you open the door. it is simply wired to the door panel light and fit right in one of the door plugs under door. little goofy, but it adds a little something, haha.

problem is to me, a car is never done, it just gets sold, lol. my camaro needs tons of work though. i atleast need to turn it into a roller.

Ekselent

I have run al my life al the time but for two years ago I decide to slow down.... It's very very difficult to do that after al this... otherwise you will get a heart attack... ( I have also build two houses to my self )
My next project is turbo charge this engine... next winter when I have anything else to do.
I saw you have a very nice motorcycle... and I think you have modify that bike a lot. It's look really good.

My car is painted end of this week...

overZealous1

thanks ekselent. built it from the ground up myself. full custom. thats a nice looking honda there! looks like tons of work too!

Ekselent

Thank you..

Therefore I send this pictures to you ... because you can see directly have much work I have done on it.... and I can see how much work you have done at your bike... . Only the frame and tank is OEM. Everything else is modified... the third engine... two of them have "exploded" .
I'm never gone sell it... never..

Did you get the leveling to work in the headlight?

I was told this as well & is the reason I bought all four parts... after taking the covers off I found that that is not really true & I only needed the covers so I returned the brackets.

This is cool OZ )))) it's gonna look brutal))) ...... love the MB star .......... )) gotta get me a set of those ....... will match my tattoo perfectly! ha ha ha

overZealous1

still no time to do it. will probably get car together then go back and do the little things like that.

overZealous1

those mothas! he was saying they were all part of one part number now, so not sure if he would take the unused pieces back.

overZealous1

they are only like $20 shipped. they project a really clear image. mine look big but when car is set down and at ride height the whole thing will only be about 12-14" dia. right now they are about 24"

overZealous1

that couldn't be an easy engine to find anymore. if you plan on turboing it, i would start looking for another engine now. haha

overZealous1

whoooohooooo. success!!! top works again!!!

Ekselent

congratulations congratulations
Woow.... those rear spacers is very long.

Cops are gonna notice you so quick haha

Looking awesome. I like the tri-star light too and those headlights have a bit of a menacing look that will match the personality of the car. Maybe Snarling Smurf would be an appropriate name. That bad boy will no doubt snarl when you tap the throttle given your exhaust set up.

overZealous1

if they were thinner the wheels wouldn't fit. haha. only 2.5" tho

overZealous1

i was kind of surprised. the idle sound is perfect, the cruise at 2000-2500 isn't bad either. when you stab it though, all hell breaks loose and has a nascar thing going on, haha.
it has a touch of the slr sound. the resonators take out the highs and leave just the lows. again, till you mash it, then it just sounds wicked! definately quiter than my viper was though, and quieter than any ferrari or lambo so it may be just perfect for what it is. i may add in a couple straight resonators though in the future to give it just a touch lower tone.

overZealous1

they have since i was 16, haha.
