How'd you do the dash?? Can we get a write-up?

slyguySTI · 07-09-2008, 07:47 PM

i sure can do a write up and maybe be a how to contributor... LOL oh and BISHOP i sent you a PM on how to take out the headlights.. painting the dash was pretty easy actually, i even took a small pair of scissors and cut out little pieces of painters tape and put it over the heater dials to cover the little orange things so i could paint them black.. i think it looks really good i just wish i knew what all these setting meant on my camera so i could take non blurry pictures... can anyone help me with that..its not a DSLR but its an ok camera.. im just clueless..

slyguySTI · 07-09-2008, 07:50 PM

oh ya also the other day i was bored and purchased my fake v-limited from ebay and also ordered a Carlabs X-brace from a place called South Coast Performance (powered by CubeCart) and the price seemed reasonable and no shipping fee.. so now with 24mm adj sways and endlinks with RCE Blacks and TIC fender braces and an X-brace and 255/40 RT 615's i should be in pretty good shape for some auto-x... i hope

Bishop · 07-09-2008, 07:57 PM

pm received and noted, im gonna try to get the headlights done sunday afternoon (doubtful) or next weekend

slyguySTI · 07-09-2008, 07:59 PM

ya i think once you get all the clips and bolts off and the fender bolts, you will see what im talking about.. i did it all by myself from start to finish in about 4 1/2 hours by just reading and hoping i wasnt screwing it up.. i think you will be fine once you start if all else fails start yanking a lil bit, thats what i did for a sec until i figured out what i actually needed to do..LOL

Bishop · 07-09-2008, 08:01 PM

another member here, Rewind, is gonna be helping me... he was over on sunday, but has never done the 06-07 so we held off since we weren't sure how to get the lights out... other than that im hoping it will be fine since hes done his own lights, as well as helped like 4 other locals

slyguySTI · 07-09-2008, 08:07 PM

Ok I too am a terrible photographer. You have to look no further than the pics in my journal

Anyway, someone suggested the macro on my camera that looks like a picture of a flower. It definitely seemed to help on closer up shots.

Bishop · 07-09-2008, 08:11 PM

thanks Sly, i'll hit u up when were gonna do it

slyguySTI · 07-09-2008, 08:23 PM

NP on the help.. and the camera thing. i dont know why but its always blurry.. i have an older sony DSC-V1 that i got some lenses for.. i got a wide angle lens with a macro lens on it, also got some filters and also a 2.2x telescopic lense.. all for 70 bucks on ebay so it was a good deal, now i can set my iso from 100 to 800 also can set my f stop but not too sure about shutter speed and all that, i also have something i can adjust its say EV?? it adjusts into neg and pos and seems like it lets in more light.. i just dont want blurry pictures and want decent shots.. not dslr quality but decent..

slyguySTI · 07-10-2008, 11:02 AM

Man i keep missing the Fedex guy.. my replica V-limited is coming in and today he didnt even ring the door bell , and then i get a missed delivery notice...oh and my X-brace shipped out yesterday so i should have that the end of this week.. then im going to install the fender braces the lip, the springs and the x- brace....

Bishop · 07-10-2008, 01:40 PM

yeah i got a package coming from soloperformance and i gotta go work out then mow, so i dont wanna miss him

slyguySTI · 07-10-2008, 05:06 PM

well i just installed my replica v-limited, i had to use my stock jack to jack up the sides to use my cordless drill to get the screws in there.. i kind of ghetto rigged it but i really wanted to see what it looked like.. i also painted it ultra flat black.. not too sure if i like or not yet.. i love the lip but might change the color.

Bishop · 07-10-2008, 05:47 PM

yeah, it looks good

i think the paint really effects the look though, and like i said in the v-limited's thread, i'll be repainting mine because of issues
