LEDs

I changed all the interior lights to LEDs. They really brighten up the car and gives it a modern look.

Please give me your honest opinion on the door lights... At first I was totally against the idea... Somewhat growing on me... But I'm still leaning towards installing just a white led instead...

Very nice. I'll be doing those bushings soon.

How difficult was dropping the rear subframe?

Subframe was easy to drop out. Bushings were a pita to remove but if you have the right tools it's much easier.

I'm sure the subframe isn't too crazy on a lift. Couldn't imagine the pain in the ass it would be on jacks.

Ordered my ground control coilover conversion kit with camber plates and custom spring rates. Plus tires showed up for the wheels I am having built right now.

I used a combination of steel wire brushes attached to a cordless drill. Once the paint was removed I applied Brasso metal polish with a microfiber towel. The inner tips now have a brushed titanium look that I think looks much better than the aged black paint that was there prior.

As for the brushes, I used a flat 2" fine wire brush to get most of the paint off. Switched to a 1" fine wire brush for the inner opening and edges. Last, cleaned up the crevices and grooves with the black paint overspray with a dremel carbon steel wire brush.

I read that some others used paint strippers, but I didn't need them with the wire brush attachments. I think they were doing it by hand.
