haha i like that:) hey at least its a rough idea.. i lost my photoshop CD!!:( so i havent been able to do anything.. the only wrong on there was the spoiler is staying silver.. just the truck is going black there but i got the idea with the lights i like it! n once the tints are on itll look even nicer!

EDIT: Here are a few links for the lights, cheapest i could find, andy wanted like $250 for both lights n not including shipping i dont think..

Well, you don't

have to

upgrade your struts. They'll work for a little while with the springs, but they will wear considerably faster and blow out in a shorter time. But it's really your decision. I think my Tokico Blues ride about the same as blown out stock struts, in my honest opinion.

And really it's up to you where you want to buy your stuff. I went for insanely cheap routes with most of my stuff and came out considerably well.

K so i fixed my headlights.. needed 1000grit wet sandpaper and WD40:P But im still going to be getting those racoon headlights soon!

But I removed the mouldings, and ripped up a small chunk of paint when i was taking my last moulding off.. so now i gotta go get those doors painted to get rid of the bubbles that are there and the chunk missing..

I ran into the same problem with my R/T, I should have left the moldings on since it's going to cost to much money to have the doors repainted to hide the bubbling or the pulled up paint. It already took me numerous times of buffing the paint to hide let alone blend the inperfections in so people do not see where the moldings were..

Got passenger side balljoint installed.. now i just gotta get the driver side one done.. and everything will be all good!

The top of the balljoint 'boot' that seals in the grease is gone.. where as the rest of the balljoint on the driver side seemed good

passenger was the same thing.. but i replaced everything anyways lol

Forgot to update the log in the last little bit..
But I installed the balljoint on the drivers side the next night (Jan 27, 2010)

At the current moment I am just waiting to do anything else to the car, because I may be purchasing a 01 R/T if the owner will contact me back.. but its only been a night since I emailed him, Ill wait till tomorrow and if i dont get an answer, then I will call him to find out. Because the plan is to hopefully get it this weekend...

So I just picked up R/T side skirts, which I plan on installing this weekend, after I fix a bit of rust n peeled paint I found...

I will also be picking up my MTX tranny to change the car over, and finaly be able to enjoy the car!!

Also will probly be removing the 12" sub, to cut down on weight.. Ill have to find a way to get my low bass back without having a heavy sub.. Might just get a 10" flat sub or a 8" sub.. Unless I can find rear speakers that deliever deep bass..

Alright so in the past little bit I have purchased a 04 silver front bumper w/ mopar lip.. Waiting to install till i can find a new hood in good condition, so i dont have rust running onto the bumper :s

I also bought a 05 (i think thats the year) tiburon exhaust from my buddy for $20 lol

But before I install anything I need to fix the surface rust on my pinch welds and install my MTX transmission, my problem is trying to find someone with a jack and stands to help lol

And the autoclub i go to is only open during the week days, but I havent been in the area during the week days lol

I think you have to ground the neutral safety switch. I'm not too sure how to do it or where it's located. But I think that's what you do to get it started.

Got MTX trans installed this weekend, she moves pretty quick.. If I'd of been smarter I'd of had it done last weekend, but I couldn't start it because I forgot to plug the air intake sensor and ya.. Lol
