i wetsanded all the writing off of the front turn signals and polished them up, and put silver star ultra bulbs in them

painted some stuff im my engine bay including the strut towers, looks a little ***** but at the same time they look aftermarket

Re: a couple new mods

the window sweeps arent that bad you gotta modify them and stuff i posted a thread right after i did the mod, since than a couple other people have used my idea and they are happy with it, you pretty much just gotta play with them and measure and cut and line it up
