Modified my front door enclosures to go from 5.25” to 6.5” mid-basses. They hit all the way down to 35hz now:obama:

Added these foam surrounds to keep the sound focused into the cabin

I had to sell my 2002 Olds Intrigue. Sucks. My apartment found me out and since it didn't have valid plates they told me it had to be moved. Junkyards don't give shyt for old cars. I got like $130. The undercarriage was rusted to hell though. Somebody is gonna part that out and make over a grand on it. The transmission and engine were good.

Changed out my foglamp bulbs on my IS250C from halogen to H11 LED 6500K 8,000 lumens. Night and day difference, fogs now match the HID/LED headlamp cluster.

Anyone have any experience painting or covering their brake calipers? I want to get mine done but have no clue where to start. Can you buy already painted ones and replace the old calipers too?

You’ll need cleaner and a wire brush
VHT SP700 High Performance Caliper Cleaner - 11 oz.

Then get a couple cans of paint:
VHT SP738 Bright Yellow Brake Caliper Paint Can - 11 oz.

Then clear for the final coat:
VHT SP730 Gloss Clear Brake Caliper Paint Can - 11 oz.

Madd videos on YouTube (type in VHT caliper paint):

Ive actually seen both those vids already doing research. I’m terrified of messing up. :lupe:
I also need to figure out if this voids my warranty. I’ll post pics when I do it

Shouldn’t void your warranty lol. Look for videos where they use bags on the wheel well so that you don’t get any over spray. Put cardboard down too so you don’t get any on the floor. Get you some masking tape too. It’s really hard to mess up, prep is everything. Make sure the calipers are clean. There’s also a brush on kit that’s less mess than spray paint. I’ve never used that so I can’t speak on it but there’s videos on YouTube.

My wife got me a new amp to replace the lil funky one I had running my interior speakers. Just got done installing it a minute ago (amp is mounted behind the LC7i). Sounds a lot nicer even before getting a chance to tune it :ehh:

Running an Infinity 12” sub of an old 1200watt Sony amp. Gonna switch over to a ported box at some point. Already found a box builder for it. Infinity recommends tuning it to 30hz :jawalrus:
