This all reminds me, ever notice some of the older Eclipses and how thier mufflers are mounted at like.. a 45 degree angle? Compared to those, the angle doesn't look nearly as severe on your car, OB. For my own car, though, i'm thinking of simply replacing the muffler and maybe throwing a glasspack ...

How many miles do you have? I'm wondering when mine will need done. Mine are already pulsating at 25k.

As far as painting the calipers, definitely do it. I used some VHT hi-temp paint on my calipers on my T-bird and they're still bright red after more than 2 years.

Now watch as every business in the whole state gets a sign banning you from carrying your gun into thier store. It happened here in Ohio as soon as the concealed bill-thinger passed. As you may have guessed I don't keep up on gun laws too good.

To be 100% honest, I'm not sure on how close the match is - I'm still waiting for the vinyl to come in the mail. I have the matte black ones on mine and they look pretty nice with the scheme I have going. Let me know, or see a side by side (vinyl and Blaze Red paint) once you get it. I might consid...

Damn, that almost looks like you Photoshopped it onto there, straight up copy & paste. From the picture I can't see but it looks like it hangs below the edge of the bumper. As long as it doesn't smash and fold under the car, it should be in good shape.

Exactly how close is the Burgundy to the color of your car? (mine's the same color)

I remember when my car was that clean.... 6 months ago when it was still 'new'.

This is a very helpful thread. I'll probably be doing mine in the near future (grey to black) because I burned a damn hole in mine with a cigarette, MAN was I pissed!

You and me both. Then I perused the Elantra message boards and saw what kind of problems people were having and stayed away from 'em.

Most are RHD, but there is one here locally that is exactally like that. Some lady drives it, its a county route though. city routes have the normal, but weird little trucks. Shit, I must really live in the sticks. Most mail delivery cars I see, (actually, more newspaper deliveries than anything) p...

Doing something wrong by using the defroster? Nah, I wouldn't worry about it. The little creaks and noises my car makes don't concern me too much (even at a mere 22,000 miles). You've always gotta remember, it is (was) the cheapest car Dodge offers. Can't expect the build quality to be stellar. I'm ...

I shave with a butter knife.


Actually I use the M3 power. The vibration makes it a lot easier to shave, but I doubt it cuts closer at all.

I'm guessing by the time the guy gets through all the deadbeat bidders he'll only have a few dollars. I doubt anyone really has the cash. I'm sure the really high bidders are expecting someone else to come in and top thier bid, so they'll be off the hook. It's either that or he has a bunch of frieds...

I just got a pair of Silverstars at PepBoys for about $20 ($10 off coupon, $10 mail-in). Seem noticably brighter than the stockers, even in the rain, but I'm no expert. They don't have the irritating dull blue ricer look that cheaper bulbs give off. I'm hoping I didn't un-adjust my pass. side light ...

425 ponies out of the SRT-8 is nothing to sneeze at. Still, the pricetag is quite bloated.

I'll own a Charger someday.

After I saw it in theaters, I bought the Ring DVD and I haven't been able to watch it since. I'm such a pussy. I'm a much bigger fan of zombie and post-apocalyptic movies. I love anything ___ of the Dead. Speaking of Zombie, I'd like to get House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. I loved both...

Remember, though, it's a grey key so it has the security chip thing or whatever the hell, too. Bah, I dunno. Nice guns. I've been looking at getting a nice small .22 rifle to use for target practice. Wal-mart, yeah, stupid, I know, has some nice ones for right around the $100 range. Ever since my bu...

It all fits together awesomely. I wish I'd gotten my car in that color (or, the one Chrysler has that looks similar.) As they said, welcome and stuff.

What is the badge on the fender behind the front wheel?

Absolutely sick! Talk about wretched excess. It's definitely a cool thing to see. Nothing I'd ever do with a truck so big, but it's really cool to see someone has done it. I bet it gets about 3 mpg.

I know I saw someone else with an 03+ paint them black, but the car wasn't black. They did it in a flat black, also.

Me too. I once did a race where I made more money in damage bonuses than the top purse for first place.

I'm still putzing around with Underground 2. I'm starting to get pissed that I suck at drifting.

My car, since it's had 79 miles has had a whine sound that corresponds directly with the engine RPM. I figured it was some belt-driven accessory making noise. I know it's not the transmission, as it does it on free revving too. I have to assume it's normal being the car has done it since new.

I read that part of the manual. Supposedly downshifting when approaching a stop improves fuel economy and prolongs engine life. I'm not sure about the second part of that, except maybe that the engine is still pumping oil to all it's vital organs but there's no load on 'em. Oh well. Even in my '05 (...

Ok, two-fer-one question here. First, after only 15k miles, it seems like either my rotors are warped or something is up with the pads. Upon slowing down I can feel a faint, rapid pulsation in the brake pedal. It's only evident when I'm slowing down from 45 or faster, not at low speeds, say, creepin...

Awesome.

Now all I need is all new speakers for my car.

I'm sure it resembles the "boxes" my friend and I built for a set of 6x8's that we snagged out of a Mustang at the junkyard with a Mach 460 sound system. Back when we were poor and couldn't afford real speakers or amps or CD decks. The wood we used was barely thicker than balsa wood, I dunno how it ...

I've noticed it too with my '05 even at 15k miles it does it when it's cold. After that it's just the normal rattly sound of the engine. I usually chalk all of these minor things up to it being a cheap car.

That would make an excellent garage sound system. I'd love to see pics of it.
