has anyone blacked out their spoiler led bar? it just hit me that that might look kinda good on my car since i've blacked everything else out. any idea of how i could actually do it?

i am amazing at photoshop... what say you? since i took my sig pic, i have blacked out the headlights and sides, and done a black home depot valence. i also blacked out the window trim. any comments/suggestions on how to do it best would be appreciated.

noob question.

if i get an after market deck and hooked it up with my steering wheel control, would my "trip" button be working? or the adapter is for the deck only?

does "Motorized Faceplate" mean detachable? basically i can take the face out so it doesnt invite break-in, right?

thanks,

ok guys this might be a dumb question but it is sure pissing me off. i am doing the foglight mod and i know where to get the tuturials and along other things. I can take the foglight out of the bumper housing but cannot disonnect the wire.



its that dang gray connector. i don't want to splice the wire too it yet since i want to make a clean install. anyone know how i can disconect that piece.

its probably just got a lot of dirt in it...push in the tab and wiggle it as you pull (no homo). if that fails, try a flathead to pop it off

Wow, Sooner, with the P.G. jargon, ("no homo")? I thought I'd never see the day. BTW, just in case you're wondering, I'm from P.G.

What's up everybody. I just bought an 02 Majestic Blue SE and so far, I am loving it! Even with the knocking coming from the suspension After some searching, I've found out that it could be the sway bar end links. I could not find a how-to for this procedure ( I've searched for hours). I think that when I do this I will be replacing the bushings with ES. Now, are these the bushings in the end links, or are they separate? I've found a great tutorial for the ES bushings, and if they are the same bushings that are on/in the endlinks, I will be able to use that.
Also, is DaveB some kind of parts supplier? Do they have a website, or how do I get in contact with them. Thanks!

Strut bearings? I'm not sure how I would differentiate. The car has 80k. After reading all the posts I could find on the matter it sounded like the end links were most likely the culprit. Plus, they usually need to be replaced around this time, and they're cheap, so I might as well do it anyways.
