List of Mod Questions

Ok so i decided to look at the MOD FAQ's today and saw some stuff that grabbed my attention. First....the sunroof 1 touch thing from autoloc. it says its easy to install and the price is right so i decided to take a look and an interested but a few questions.
First it says easty to install but where do i hide the little black box? i have a 98 i30 if that makes a difference.
seccond it says you can make it work by the use of the keyless remote well oboviously my windows already do that but can i make my sunroof do it to?
bassically if anyones got a write up for this id love it.

Next.....
The FSTB
will i notice a good difference in handaling with this? any cheap ebay one will fit my i30 right i know i know but the i30 and the maxima have different bodies so mabye the struts are a little off? unlikely though.......i just wannna know what you all think of these

Moving on.......
paint valve cover (engine enamel)
buy polish and polish aluminum parts in the engine
Has anyone painted there valve covers and if so do you have pics? also what is the prep needed to paint this and how many coats

also what parts of the engine are aluminum and how do i polish them again...pics and write up would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help,
KC Ryan

get an otto racing FSTB, those ebay ones are hollow inside and will bend or snap. an otto racing is about $50 or less shipped and its good quality. plus, it looks better

Yeah, go with the Otto Racing FSTB. I got one off of ebay (new) for under $30 shipped. Worked perfect and it looks good.

As far as polishing parts, I just polished the timing chain cover. Just used some aluminum wheel polish on it and it really cleaned it up.

The CustomMaxima FSTB is also an extremely solid bar, I say it was a good $70 spent.
