New Parts a comin

You guys probably saw my other threads on the strut bar and spoiler.
Well, i bought em both today, just a matter of time before they show up and i get pics of the install.

Heres the links to the parts.

Ebay Strut Bar

M3 Lip Spoiler

Update:

Im replacing most of my interior lights with green leds (door lights and rood light) so they match the clock and radio. I also got LED license plate lights, cool white. Here are links. Bought them today, come in next week.

License Plate Lights

Door Lights

Roof Light

Update:

Fog Lights

You remind me of myself. I have RED/CLEAR tails coming tomorrow, all four window guards ordered, and a grounding kit on order.... The strut bar is super easy to install, so dont be worried, its just really big. Also, hope you have a good eye for making sure that lip is level, get someone to help you if you can.

Hell yea i broke a ratchet!!!! 40 ftlb my ***! i even used a 14mm wrench with a lever arm and still nuttin. it was a major PITA get those bolts off. Hands were sore for like an hr afterwards.

They were original nuts never removed. AND before i started i even blasted them with some PB blaster. Those bolts are minions of satin...almost as bad as that GODDAMNED KS bolt. the KS bolt was like devil himself, pure evil

My check engine light comes on when it starts, and I drive it around, because once it gets going, its like the coilpack fixes itself. I then stop, turn the car off, turn key to on, and sometimes I see the light, and then 2 seconds later "CLICK" from the dash and it goes away =(.)

Not intending to thread jack - but yeah - next CFL Max Meet is 7/25 @ Altamonte Mall - see ya there.

OP - I've broken more tools removing bolts from Nissan cars/trucks than I have on ANY other make of car...

I found a square tube over a wrench tends to have the best results - as I've broken three breaker bars on bolts... and Many Many sockets (especially Craftsman and Kobalt branded)...

No offense bro. But I put blue led's on my door so that matched my radio, clock, etc. Two weeks later I took them out because they looked tacky. The more I mod the max, the more I want to keep it CLEAN. Colored led's is ricy. Just my opinion though, do what makes you happy.
