Yesterday I had to go to SC for a funeral I stopped by DDM and got a 4 wheel alignment for my new Contis.

I repainted the side vent on my car after all the paint came off from washing it.

Installed my MGP Caliper Covers.....wishing I had went with black now as the red is a bit too 'bling' for me!

Tweaked the settings on my shocks. The rear has a tendency to bounce a few timesif you hit a bump in a corner, so I switched from our "base" setting to SOB's recommended starting point.

Added some LED lighting to the storage compartment under the waterfall.
A link to the pics on the "other" forum is below (hope that's not against the rules Joe)
The Glovebox and Dual color lights for the Footwell are next.

Nice write up Carbon Sky. I understand why you want to do the Pro Beam. I'm going to do mine at the mod meet.

Carbon Sky: I did same thing which you did with 3/8 plate

I had my Koni's dyno'd and Z0K springs tested. More details to come in my suspension thread.

Waxed the paint after cleaning the clear coat with 3M rubbing compound, cleaned the chrome wheels, fitted a tonneau cover, and Rain-X'ed the windows.

Big difference?

Haven't really hit any fast curves yet, a few corners that felt tight, but I'm not sure if it is the probeam or me. My comparison is from what the car felt like before I parked it for the winter. Now, once again, I'm waiting for the snow to melt.

Sly Bob · « **Reply #516 on:** March 21, 2010, 01:48:09 PM »

It's tough call with a lot of the mods that we do. We want to think that they are making a difference and sometimes we convince ourselves that they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I't's just human nature.

I for one want a large piece of that bread and I'm installing one at the mod meet at Joe's in May.

DDM makes some awesome products for our cars.

Critterman · « **Reply #517 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:02:22 PM »

Can we see that hood from the cockpit?

Sly Bob · « **Reply #518 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:18:22 PM »

Got rid of the egg yokes today. It'll hold me over until I get LEDs for the front lights.

Yesterday I took my cut down front mud flaps down to Joe's for repainting. He also fixed the fogs on my Frontier while I was there. Sol hasn't been out from under the cover since Friday

dagwood · « **Reply #520 on:** March 21, 2010, 05:15:24 PM »

Drivers view of the cowl induction hood,as requested. It is 18' x 2.75" and it does not block any view for driving.I was worried it might,but after a few cruises,I was very pleased.

TomatoSoup · « **Reply #521 on:** March 21, 2010, 06:56:52 PM »

Did LOTS this weekend:

Saturday:
- Installed my Sky USB Radio (from ICS/eBay) but modified to reroute the USB out back and to replace the Sky faceplate (and colors) with my original Solstice faceplate. Looks stock, but has GB of tunes from a flash drive. I'm soooo happy!
- Washed Car & went driving!

Sunday:
- Installed Draw-Rite hitch (what a b*tch to get get the muffler supports off! I really need the right tool.)
- Tightened nuts/bolts on DDM Pro-bean and Backbone... most were OK, but a couple Backbone bolts were loose, one barely even finger tight!
- Ran wires from reversing light up into trunk to (eventually) power a reversing camera.
- De-chickleted and replaced with Autobot logos
- Finished some wiring for my bluetooth addition.

Whew!

Washed, waxed, Rain-eXed. Man, it was DIRTY. Back covered with soot and goodness knows what else, lots of gook along the rockers. But it shines now!

elff · « **Reply #523 on:** March 21, 2010, 07:35:54 PM »

I kept the top down and drove around some more.
Gonna rain the next couple of days so I didn't bother washing it

G8TR · « **Reply #524 on:** March 21, 2010, 08:05:03 PM »

Got home at about 6 after a 4 hour flight and a 2 hour drive. Saw G8TR under the 3 covers that I put it under before I left, appears to be unmolested by my teenage daughter. Can't wait for high 70's tomorrow and my first drive in 3 weeks.
