Ordered a left hand side motor mount. Through the mechanic $140, through the dealer $215. I hate how expensive parts are here FML

Repainted the grill and light housing, then blacked out my orange lights.. and installed some sweet Hella offroad lights.

I can't wait till it's dark so I can test 'em out!

What did you use to paint the orange sidemarkers black? and do the still blink at least "orange-ish"? just wondering cuz the cops in my area dont have a lot to do and mess with people for stupid stuff. Looks BADASS though!

Just some spray in a can from our local automotive shop. I can't remember what it's called, but it's in a purple can..

They still blink orange'ish. Lots of people have it done here..I guess we'll have to see what happens. They aren't signal lights tho.. just driving lights.

VHT Nightshade. They have black and red in color-coded cans. Costs about the same as spraypaint, but it's only a tint. How many layers you use determines how much light passes through. That's how most of us angry-eye. I strongly recommend no more than 3 layers max. I put 5 on my headlights cause I'm an idiot, and zero light passes through the top.

Put in a new starter and flushed the heather core. Also attempted to clean the engine bay. I got a lot of crud out but there is still some nasty stuff on the right side of the engine.
