What size is your driveway? Maybe they make LubeLocker for it!

Finally got the LEDs for the switches put in.

Been to all the junkyards around me and can't find LeBaron hood vents. I also don't wanna pay $100 for them off eBay. So I've been toying with the idea of using 4x10 vent registers which means I'd also be able to close them if needed. Any opinions on this?

There are marine vents out there that are about a trillion times less trashy.

The dash looks sharp, don't follow it up with that other idea.

Agreed. I got expanded sheets and made my own hood vents. They look OK and I haven't had any issues with water effecting anything under my hood

Alright, alright I've seen the error in my ways. I think I've decided on this in the middle of the hood. It's pretty much a CAI and Superturbocharger all in one.

And it'll match my exhaust tip.

In all seriousness though I think I'll just throw down the cash on some Napier vents. My rig looks relatively well done and I'd like to keep it that way.

I picked up Rusty's crossover steering for $20 today. Now I'm not sure if I wanna run it. Might just sell it for what I got in it

People take bosozoku too seriously. It's a joke.

Typical explanation for something like this:



"My girlfriend thought it was funny"

I had heard it once or twice but it was always described to me as the Japanese motorcycle gang, needless to say that's not what Google Images shows me.
