i tried filling my holes in my engine bay to shave it with bondo and it already started to crack. I can imagine with you shutting the trunk. You need to weld it then fiber glass then bondo.

- Mon Jun 09, 2014 3:58 am #346286 Since the holes are about the size of the eraser end of a pencil, I think it'll be ok. If It cracks, I can always go back and do it again. :D

Not bad for rattle cans. I still need to do a final sanding and clear coat.

1st coat

3rd or 4th coat.

The best part is the change of color isn't hardly noticeable!
(the paint surrounding it is faded)

- Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:54 pm #346429 Went to the junk yard today and immediately saw a clean, not even crashed EH9.
Looked inside and saw a JDM armrest, JDM white gauges, and a dash clock.
Popped the hood and saw a complete D16Z6 with short ram intake. Had some weird one-piece headlights. Also had DC headers and collector pipes.
Looked at the suspension and found some coilovers with no name that I could see. So, I picked up the clock and tail lights. If the coils and gauge cluster are still there when i get back from vacation, I'll pick them up.

- Sat Jun 14, 2014 11:22 am #346441 can you take a pictures on how you did the wiring on the amber corners to light them up because i cant find a good tutorial thx

- Sat Jun 14, 2014 7:32 pm #346446 Unfortunately I'm out of town at the moment, so I'm not around my car. But the wiring should be the same as the stock corners. You just screw the existing harness and bulb into the amber corner light socket.

hope this helps! :D
