UNDRPSI

the deck is a jensen dbl din.... AWESOME UNIT!

the wheels were temporary... the 8's in the floor make all the difference in the world, TONS of midbass.

Heres a pic of the car now. i have yet to install my coilovers, i been SWAMPED lately! The wheels are AXIS Milano+ 19x8.5f and 19x9.5r

i just got it today , heres some pics..... its an SPI manifold... they did a REAL good job , All Tig welded, ports real clean , and braced.

anyhow here they go.

JP

thanks, im going to overall repaint it and totally debadge it along with color keying all the door handles and mirrors. Its the wifes ride so its gotta be totally functional.

JP

i got bored so i painted the covers f&r fro the valve cover ( factory match )

heres the pics of the burban , it goes to paint next week after we line up the front end.

JP

the lip is HUGE!!!! i ll take a pic trmw, i have to put my cowl hood on and finish putting the GMC conversion on the front end,

JP

thanks, bro . i just put these in 20's on my red suburban today. id kind of like to see them on an SC as they have them for car applications also! If i knew they had staggered when i got my AXIS wheels, i probably would have went with th GT. I still Love my AXIS Milano+'s though!

JP

ive got a set of Megan Racing Coilovers with adj dampening. That should do the trick as far as keeping a good ride..... ( I hope! )

JP

i guess im old school, i like the straight , clean, classy look. Not too bling ,bling..... im just an old !Removed! :)

JP

my back has been hurting pretty bad or it would already be down. The ride is great, actually no different than the 16's.

JP

it just looks like they actually are made for the car, the 20's just look too big for the body.

JP

Well i ditched the 20's and went with a set of 19's , They are AXIS Milano+ 19x8.5f and 19x9.5r. I still have to put my Megan Racing coilovers on next week.

JP

EXACTLY ! Big time saver!

I have seen a couple of threads about cleaning out headlights on our cars , pretty much all that involve , removing them, baking in an oven, taking apart, cleaning, buffing , putting them back together, and reinstalling them. WAY TOO MUCH DARN WORK to clean some lenses.

I have a body shop along with all else at my shop , so for giggles i decided ( BY HAND) to take some 3M PERFECT-IT 2 and some meguires cleaner/wax and give it a go.

All i did ( BY HAND ) was get after it ( WHILE STILL ON THE CAR) with the 3m perfect-it 2 two times and then apply the meguires and I SWEAR IT LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW!!!!! NO BUFFER AT ALL! I did BOTH headlights AND the lower turn/drive lamps in less than 30 minutes! Im going to hit it with the buffer tuesday just for that BLING effect but it really doesnt need it at all! The 3m is an AWESOME compound, only costs about 20.00 for a bottle (which will probably last you for a couple of years!) Plus you could use it for other things on the car i.e. scratches.

I couldnt see the headlight projector they were so oxidized! Now they look like Brand new! And i MEAN brand new! And to think i ALOMST spent over 300.00 last night on ebay for a new pair!

Ill post some pics tonight when i get home , somebody try it and tell me if it isnt worth the MERE 30 MINUTES to do it.

see ya guys , Joe P.

Thank God you did this!! I was REALLY nervous about tearing into the headlights and trying to reseal them afterwards. Your headlights look AMAZING! I'm definitely going to polish as recommended, with the vinyl film to ensure long-term shine. Can I get the vinyl film from any auto store?

Did you ever answer as to exactly which 3M Perfect -It product you used? Is it the rubbing compound, the wax or glass enhancer?

SK--- let me re-phrase that, "if you dont want them to ever re-oxidize then clear them , my employee cleared his stang lights 2 years ago and he noticed no difference in lighting"

GO DAWG--- the product line is Perfect-it 3 rubbing compound, sorry for the mix-up..

ALSO , i bought a wool disc for my 3.5 DA and DAMN!!!!! even BETTER!!! then i hit it with the cleaner wax again with the 3.5 DA with a foam pad..... i have 3 cars to do tmrw!!! 2 supras and one sc300! i gues we really are an all-in-one shop LOL!

JP

heres some pics of the 300 ........ im not done but you get the idea.

enjoy.

JP

buffing then , clearcoating them is the ULTIMATE way to get the look to actually last. I just did it this way because i wanted to see if it would work first. i wont have to sand mine thanks to the LACK of scratches on the lenses, im just going to clear them when we re-paint the car this winter.

JP

heres some pics ... remember i did these by hand with no sanding whatsoever....

dirty first....

clean after only 5 or 10 minutes.....

couple more for good measure:

a dbl din fits great , you just need to make a small 1/2 din filler plate below the head unit to take up the excess gap, and glass up the knob hole and repaint it.. ill post a pic when i get a chance.

JP

I was wondering if anybody had some pics of the stereo install in thier 300?? its and odd opening to which Metra does not make a dash kit. i put mine in last night, i was curious to see other installs. Btw: My unit is a dbl din, pretty easy install.

heres the turbo for the GSX GT45R

and heres the one for the SC300 t60-1 its next to the GT45R

exhaust turbine... small huh?

JP

mine did that on the pass side but only wouldnt open from the outside , it was the rod to the handle. Might be something as simple. never know, could be gold for you to get a lower purchase price.
