  • Gauge faces for chrono pack

    The holy grail of my black out quest has been found! Lights 4 Speed, an italian company makes gauge faces for the chrono pack that actually go over the center cluster. I currently have the center cluster glass tinted, which helps but makes them difficult to read. I had sent an email to this company before and not heard back, but they responded this time!
    Just with the thumbnails were larger so I could really see them, but my hopes are high!

  • Shoulder stripes on Rocket

    Cleaned winter beater, then applied shoulder stripes. Holy crap do they look sweet. Waiting to see if all the bubbles disappear then doing other side.

  • 129 Slayer.com Dragon photos

    Broke down and bought some photos from both Killboy.com and 129Slayer.com

    Here are the ones from 129slayer.

    And the Killboy shots!

  • 2014 Dragon Photo Shoot

    Have not yet uploaded the photos I took, but here are some from our ‘glamour shots’ with Alicyn Drew Photography.

    Earliest I have ever put on ‘club’ gear. Chakik and Sprocket posed for some photos along with myself and the old lady.

  • Rocket J Squirrel is clean

    Wrapped the beltline at Detroit Tuned this weekend. Getting close! Also added the Deluxe Chad Mod Tail lights to Chakik. Mmmm no chrome at all now.

  • Hella Black Magic Driving Lights

    As is seems the last few years, my car is in pieces until just before The Dragon. All parts are finally back at Detroit Tuned and final reassembly is a GO! I’ve been very curious as to how the Prior bumper would look when it was on. Thankfully it looks great especially with the 4 Hella Black Magic lights in it.

    Also did the Chad mod on my other tail lights, had him black out the backup lamp surround this time to.

     

  • Rocket: M7 grills and halo lights

    Updated Rocket with M7 (Grillecraft) grills and wired up the halo’s in my aftermarket xenon lights.
    Very happy with how it all turned out. Got the front side markers replaced with smoked ones, need to do the back.

    My fingers are raw from the work, but it really is one of my favorite times. Chad is very nice to just chill with while working, and he has great punk rock tunes.

  • Aftermarket Xenon Lights

    I had a pair of aftermarket Xenons that I bought years ago for the cabrio and never installed.

    Put them on Rocket. They look amazing, but one is already dead. 🙁
