It was my pleasure.  The only problem is it's going to wind up costing me $$.  Your halos look awesome, and until yesterday I had convinced myself that I could live without the KW coilovers...
Well, now that you know what you need and how to change them... Oh, and how to ADJUST them! PITA! LOL 

You definitely need halos!

Mike : Glad you got everthing done . Sorry I didn't get there. I'll have to meet you another time .  Take care  and don't forget !    :ttiwwp: 
This was an ALL WORK, NO PHOTO meet.  If you wanted to see it you should've been there!












J/K, I'll post some up in a little while...

Those hallos look awsome, I had convinced myself I didn't need the either, until I say Mike's car coming down the road in front of Joe's.  Joe is ordering a Pair for Deedle, I told him to order two.

The KW's were a pain, but only because mauly fist Mike kept breaking spring compressors.  Once Joe purchased a set of industrial, Mike proof compressers the job was relatively simple.    Height adjustment was a bit strange, but finally worked out.  Has it settled any more Mike.

I changed out my ECU with the new tune I got from Randy at DDM, seems to be a lot smoother and so far I haven't hear it ping.  We also changed out my gauge faces only to find out I had two defective upgraded led light clusters.  I only have two of the four bulds lit in each gauge.  I think I am glad of that because they are bright.  

Big thanks to Scott who took this project on, and to Joe for Helping out.   Joe and Dee where once again excellent hosts.  Joey was the parts runner and keep very busy :).  Mike was Mike, except now that he made chief he has gotten a little bigger around the waist.  They say beer will do that to you.

Hasn't settled at all, still about 1.5 fingers off the tire.  And I seem to remember you breaking half that set of spring compressers!


I detailed it day before yesterday.  Pretty much took all day, but not as bad as Joes car was yesterday.  I think he has been looking for new car smell and thought his paint was scratch and sniff!  :lol:

I'll take full credit/blame/responsibility for freezing up the second half of that harbor freight spring compressor.  To whom do I owe 50 cents?

I love those lights, they do look great.  Now Joe, any replacements for those terrible headlights we tried.  I did like the look but eventually would have been left in the dark.
