    Wood interior or etc.

    Just ordered 2 samples from 3M of ME-379 (looks like brushed graphite) pretending to be a business. Has anyone ever done this? How big of a sample should I expect to be getting? Also, does anyone know where to buy less standard finishes without ordering from 3M? eBay and Google have got me...

    "Big Three / Grounding Kit" - Improving your electrical grounds

    Hazard/Clock Delete to House GPS

    Cost is an issue. I picked this thing up for $20 shipped. I'd rather have a stand-alone GPS as well, as opposed to an all-in-one GPS/stereo. Besides, getting an all-in-one still leaves me with the clock and switch bezel which I feel looks like it doesn't belong. It does have turn-by-turn...

    Hazard/Clock Delete to House GPS

    My goal is to take my Value Package Accord and upgrade it creating an in-dash navi option that looks OEM. The screen on the SNAP3 is 3.5". I'm not super concerned with the size in regards to it being small. I would, however, like to avoid taking up windshield real estate. I think my biggest...

    Hazard/Clock Delete to House GPS

    I spent my time thinking about this on my drive home today... And I'm impulsive late at night so I hauled off and snagged a Nextar SNAP3 off of eBay for $20 shipped. I was wondering if anyone here sees a problem in relocating the hazard button to the left of the steering wheel and losing the...

    99' F23a1 Project (56k) ***Update 2-15-11 ***

    Re: 99' F23a1 Project My interior has only looked that good in a photoshop window. Could you run me through your personal trim painting regimen?

    driving around town... 56k maybe?

    I'm starting to wonder how a body color-matching rear window visor would look? Too much like a fake attempt at a spoiler?

    DIY cold air intake, CAI (PICS & Video!)

    That it is. And there's no whine! It's a nice, throaty sound. I'm friends with an engineering student/genius and we were discussing all of the unnecessary bends involved in those aftermarket intakes and how, for the cost, none of them were engineered to be anything special. Therefore, I left...

    The more and more I looked at it, that's what I figured too. I don't have the ability to bake any ceramics.

    DIY cold air intake, CAI (PICS & Video!)

    So how about.... (1.) Buying an eBay intake http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/mqtautoparts/97_prelude.jpg (2.) Spraying it down with ceramic paint http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/shw-dh1602_w.jpg (3.) affixing a K&N Filter to it http://kandn.com/images/l/RU-5174.jpg How awful...

    Where I'm at, all the water's frozen. Hah. But I'd assume this has as much, if not more potential to hydrolock... right?

    DIY cold air intake, CAI (PICS & Video!)

    I've been seeing AEM intakes on here from 6GA members for like $150. I'm not worried about spending that on an intake. Would you STILL recommend the DIY in this case?

    DIY cold air intake, CAI (PICS & Video!)

    I smashed up my front bumper and in the process, destroyed most of the resonator. I'm looking to replace my bumper but am considering this mod for fixing my intake, rather than buying OEM or replacing it with aftermarket. Has anyone used this mod under similar circumstances or are you guys just...

    6GA member begs for mounting/balancing help!

    Comparatively, Discount Tire has Hunter Equipment not too far away but they're asking $120. I never understand what I'm paying for when I see a cost difference like this...

    6GA member begs for mounting/balancing help!

    Apparently my local Firestone has Hunter RoadForce equipment and balancing for 4 is $40 and mounting is $7 x 4. Total: $68.

    6GA member begs for mounting/balancing help!

    So far the most trustworthy quote I have going is $56 at Discount Tire. I previously purchased my Kumho's there and got about 45,000 miles out of them. They issued certificates for replacement on the tires (which I used 1 of due to pothole damage) and fixed many flats for me. Homorously...

    6GA member begs for mounting/balancing help!

    A CRY TO CHICAGO LOCALS: I just grabbed 4 Yokohama Avid Touring tires for my car, as my Kumho's have gone to ****. Now... as I beg 6GA... Is anyone interested in helping me mount/balance my rubber at a reasonable price? I'm sure this is asking a lot... Free is the optimum outcome I could hope...
