You can look at my headlight build thread for some ideas. Mayur I wanna redo mine with the 3" FX-R. I like my modded MH1 but I know I'd love the upgrade

Ohh dang and I just bought my friend some mini D2S projectors for his CRV. It felt like I didn't do well of a job with the FXR's but it's way better than the E46 projectors that I had. The cutoff is crooked for mine which sucks.

I35 grille anyone? Ordered the one from RockAuto (it's bright chrome instead of the dark, which I wanted) and I gave my car a thorough washing yesterday. Plus the lights at the mall by me (Garden State Plaza in NJ) make my car look so much whiter than I usually think it is. Don't know why the picture looks so bad here when it looked fine on my phone. Maybe PhotoBucket does something to it

This is my 01 I30t, just got it 2 weeks ago. Not gonna go crazy with it because i'm still building my B13. So far i've done black grill, amber led parking lights, yellow fogs and fog light mod. Should be installing a system in it this week. Hoping to get some Tein SS and wheels eventually.

Thanks. I sprayed it with plasti dip. Not the best looking finish but I think it's better than chrome. I35 grill is in the plans.

If I'm correct, that looks like the mormon church near 495/270? I pass it all the time since I'm in College Park.

Car looks really good!

You got to heat them up real good. You're better off using a heat gun. I've used both the oven and heat gun and I like the heat gun much better.

Some pics of my little cousins I30. I35 grill, lowered on S Techs. We just waxed it, did the fog light mod and put window visors on it. Tints and wheels coming soon. Can anyone guess how many miles are on it?

I need to just get the damn transmission fluid changed since I think 13 years is long enough and my shifts are absolutely horrible in the cold, but that may be coming since now I have a month off of school for winter break and my dad is going to be home for a while to take it since his friend works at a gas station with 2 lifts and he can probably get it done much faster. As for mods, I'm thinking of some clear front side markers. Pricey, but not really anyone get's them anymore. I also got all 5000K LEDs from V-LEDs and I think they look great. I do want those side mirrors with the turn signals and puddle lights, but I can't justify that cost and hassle for installation just for me to have them. But if something happens to one of my current mirrors, that logic goes out the window . Also need to take it for an alignment/tire rotation this week, just need to call up some places and see how much. But I don't think it was that expensive when I went to get my ECM reprogrammed at the dealer

My neighbor had his transmission system flushed by a very reputable well known independent shop in our community. His Yukon never shifted the same after that. He regrets having the flush done. He said he should have just drained the fluid and put new fluid in with new filter. Seems kind of risky?
