Mod $$...Now what?

stingrayj · 11-19-2008, 10:18 AM

I won second place in the office NASCAR poll!!! (Stupid Carl Edwards...) Between that and some other cash I got. I have about $110 to burn. Any suggestions?? Here are some of my current options...

1) 6000K AAC halos from eBay ($110 shipped)
2) LED tail lights ($130ish shipped)
3) BT oil catch can ($130ish)
4) Turn signal mirror caps ($110ish shipped +$$ for paint)
5) Hood struts ($60) and something else
6) Your suggestions ($???)

Let's just make it a poll!

FYI, I'm staying away from grills, although there are some that I like, because someone effed my front bumper the second week that I had the car. (Just messed up the paint and dug into the plastic.) So, I am planning to convert to the SRT front end instead of fixing what I have...hopefully, with next year's bonus.

Front driver side and passenger side window tint?? (approx 50 - 60 bucks) + eyelids (approx 30 bucks + paint to match)....

just my idea...

Otherwise to choose from your list, I'd go AAC.... gotta love the halos! But A LOT OF WORK! Oh and color match headlight bezels...

JMO... I'd go with the tail lights! That's one MOD on Tee's ride that I really love. (I'm too scared to touch my SRT, especially after putting in the LED tail light bulbs and blowing two fuses). Guess my SRT is meant to STAY STOCK!!! LOL

I don't think that the local LEOs will appriciate the tinting, if you get my drift. I'm not exactly sure about the local regs on that, but I don't see in on any cars around town, including the ricers.

As for the eyelids, I want to do that, but I also want to do the Halos. And, since the headlights go in the oven for the Halo install, I am afraid that the oven heat will damage the eyelids...assuming that I did eyelids first. I was kinda thinking about pairing them with the hood struts, though.

Those are the lights that I like, except I was thinking about getting the black housings and then lightly painting them with the nightshades tint. I want them dark, but still visible. And to that point, how visible are those in the day light? Some of the aftermarket crap that I see on the local ricers are almost impossible to see in the daylight. That gets kinda dangerous!

QuickSilver08 · 11-19-2008, 11:11 AM

They are pretty bright. I was scared at first because they didnt look too bright during the day, then I had my wife drive it and I drove behind her and I could see them perfectly.....and they were bright when I was sitting in a car! Black housing would look so nice on blue. Im jealous of your blue....its such a nice color for the mag.

On a side note (kind of) I went with the all red because Im trying to make it look like a factory concept. Plus, its an 08 so its already slightly separated from the rest so I think everything will pull together nicley. We'll see what happens. (Sorry for the quick thread jack...I know, I know)

Well, looks like you're in the same boat as I am in now.... I just found out last week that I have to remove my tint cuz it's too dark ... 35%.... DC's law is 70%..... Pennsylvania is 70%.....

got the info here Auto Window Tint Laws - TintCenter.com

I'm pissed that I have to remove my tint for me to pass DC inspection.... Completely throws off the look IMO!!!!

So scratch that idea! LOL .... 70% probably isn't even worth getting tinted!
