Looks good though man!

Pretty damn bright! I generally use the passenger side to find something on the drivers side...lol.

I thought about getting some opaque material and adding it. Just worried about it burning. LEDs are really low energy, I just don't any problems.

I really was curious as to what my dyno numbers were so i called a few friends and was referred to an awesome guy really close to my house!

The dyno was $35 for 30 minutes. I couldn't of asked for better pricing. I gave him $40.

The first few pulls were done without a fan. Oil temp shot up to 220.

We then used a fan and I got lower HP but more Torque.

I will be taking my car back to him for future mod installs and to UPREV tune the car once it hits 100k or so. He only charges $300 to tune if you buy the cable and software.

My car was squeaking so bad! Only the back right wheel though.

Turns out it was the skid plate for my brake pads..

So I took off the wheels and installed the brakes myself.

It was a fairly easy job for never doing it before. Was quoted $280 for 2 rear pad install.

I ended up doing it for $49.99 (Cost of brakes)

Looking good Nick!!

Looks good. Also, you'll get much better performance out of that radar detector if you mount it higher on the windshield.

It's a piece of crap & doesn't stick well anymore. Its been thru a couple of my cars now. & the AZ heat melts the suckers and the detector ends up on the floor of my car.

But I just need to get a better one eventually.. I ran into some illegal activity last night and it would've came in handy!

Thanks Chuck

Chuck33079 · 07-14-2013, 08:52 PM

Yeah, you want it as high as you can get it while still leaving a line of sight out the back for it.

A blendmount or DIY alternative where it's mounted to the rear view would be your best bet.

AWIZRD · 07-27-2013, 12:43 AM

I totally agree with

Go with the Blendmount....Very clean look and everything can be hidden nicely. I've got my V1 mounted and looks great
