Hey i'm here.... Not that old... Also near Knoxville.

Wimperdink

Thanks... Its covered with a spray vinyl coating.... its a really thin coat to just give it some texture and a vinyl feel. Its a pretty close match to the color and texture to everything else in the car. Just a lil bit smoother feel. Its wider than the xm module so I can install switches in it for f...

I've always wanted to replace my mirrors with some small cameras for the shaved look... maybe you can be the first with that mod

Wimperdink

Looking Good! Now I know where to put mine in the center console

Wimperdink

your in the right place now just read down through the threads and you can answer all of your questions with a lil bit of reading and time.

Tint laws for most or all of the states... http://www.tintdude.com/laws.html

Wimperdink

Anyone know how it works if I drive into a state where its illegal to have tinted side windows when my car is registered in a state where its legal or they just dont care.

that frog is a crackup... I had to download that movie to my desktop so I could play it over and over

Wimperdink

Glad I could help.

nevermind the 2 black loomed wires under it, thats my amp wiring its in a group down by the foot rest, there's a lot of green wires down there make sure there's no stripe on it. with a multimeter, put your black lead on ground and touch the wire with red, with the parking lights off, your meter wil...

Wimperdink

first off, let me start by asking why you want the brake lights to flash? If your on the correct parking light wire, (green wire in drivers kick panel, requiring positive pulse to activate parking lights) your front and rear parking lights should flash simultaneously when you activate the keyless en...

The inside of my headlight is coming apart. The part that holds the bulb came loose from the outer shell if that makes any sense. It aims down on the road and leaves it dark no more than 100 ft from the car. ugh I have no idea how to adjust these or to fix the loose lens. Anyone had that issue while...

he went from singing kickass southern rock / country to gospel music... hard to carry new music to the old fan base

Wimperdink

I really hate bra's... cars or otherwise but I guess considering my paint situation it'll be a good temp fix til I decide weather or not I want to repaint my car.

hey jeff check your IM's

XM Roady 2Have not yet bothered to figure out how to set presets... just punch in the channel number I want

Wimperdink

Can get 05 with leather and I think interior is diff. no chrome bars on the doors and I believe I saw no cloth on the door panels either. Minor stuff

Wimperdink

personally, (and i'll probably raise some neck hairs with this) but I'll never buy new. I bought my AWD used and love every minute of it. even the stupid stains left by previous owner, crap down under back seat that I never took the time to fish out cause I'm scared of what might be there, OE scratc...

Wimperdink

as soon as they make an awd GT i'll be all over it .. until then I'm happy I dont have to shift in stop and go traffic with the amount I travel for work. Oh and I put premium in my awd even if it doesnt require it. My experiance with my past cars is mileage is always better with premium and has prov...

Wimperdink

I was in HC 3 you? I've since moved from there to WA back to CA then to IL then to MO and am now in TN I was there in 95 - 97 I'm sure lots has changed since then.. BTW if you know where the friendship bell is down in the port of SD, the one from the people of china to the people of San Diego. Just ...

Wimperdink

Cool I thought I recognized stuff on base from the background of your pics. I used to work in the HC squadrons there. Lived in the barracks right across from Del Taco

Wimperdink

XM has Doctor Laura.... Just as bad as Howard Stern but you wont catch me giving it away cause of her

Wimperdink

in my limited knowledge i'd make sure its not traces of oil in there... could mean serious problems. any discoloration of your oil?

Wimperdink

Looks very cool. Wondering why noone makes overlays for the orange spot on our door locks that fade so notoriously. I cut some out of a blue metallic decal and covered them. Looks good.

Wimperdink

reed switch variations... - http://www.mouser.com/catalog/622/1115.pdfbetter yet... - http://www.mouser.com/?Ne=300&...FieldThat will keep ya busy for awhile

Wimperdink

I was told when I got my tint never to use a window cleaner with ammonia because it'll peel the tint right off... They said thats what they use to remove exhisting tint. Oh and I have 5% all around cause I like it. Tint laws hmpf wish our politicians could fight real crime with their laws. BTW if I ...

Wimperdink

use a pin switch or a reed switch for clean look. Need one I have lots of both.

Wimperdink

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...=WD1V Get one of these. Easy to install, and a much cleaner look and no sticky stuff on your dash.

Wimperdink

I've now finished behind my door handles and pockets on the front two doors, and two of the vents and have the wiring ready for passenger vents but ran out of LED's Got 100 of them on order and when they get here i'm gonna finish the vents and rear doors and considering the cup holders and all the c...

Wimperdink

I want to see the dyno sheet on it.

Wimperdink

I'm just east of Knoxville... and a meet sounds cool.... Didnt see this regional section before.

Wimperdink

Seriously now, Someone gave me some 4X4 decals for my AWD. I have half a mind to stickem on.... Right after I mount the winch and push bar and brush guards and 12 in lift kit and air horns. Mickey Thompson 35's, skid plates, roll bar, daylighters, and of course the rebel flag license plate cover.

Wimperdink

bout 30 minutes for the first one, but now that I know what i'm doing, I'll run the other three vents on a long string and tie them all together on a switch.. Thinkin a dual color LED would look good if you could change from red with the heat on to blue with the a/c on

Wimperdink

Ok for all of those who didnt get any round tuits for this project, I have a couple of pics. The pics dont show up near as cool as the real thing. Its really too cool for words. I wrapped some blue reflective tape around the inside of the vent tube then installed two blue LED's in the sides of the t...

Quote, originally posted by NUBlackshirts Â»Actually, this would be a good way for someone to start on that whole "Mad Max/Road Warrior" look! I live in TN. Sadly if I was to put one on, I'd fit right in with the locals.

Wimperdink

Wondering if I should have been more sarcastic. Hope you folks didnt really think I was being serious about someone putting one on their vibe. hehe

Wimperdink

Could someone get this and install so I can see it? HAHA I know it's universal therefore pops up for vibe too but made funny thoughts for me. Now I want a pushbar with a winch and maybe a rollbar with 16 52million candlepower lights on top too.

Wimperdink

close enough I've been from Kansas City to southern tip of FLorida to Bangor maine quite a few times and everywhere in between I install electronics for a living. Mostly Telematics tracking devices on fleets of vehicles all over the country.

Wimperdink

Wow you think yours is in the way... check this outyou can see the shifter is well hidden under the laptop desk. If you look even closer yet you'll notice the cb mounted by my right knee. My work has made me put on 23,000 miles just since feb. 05 and those two things are very neccesary when i'm trav...

Wimperdink

got any pictures of your eq controller mount. Just curious as to how you did it and what the headliner looks like without the moonroof.

Wimperdink

not really... It doesnt really bother me and all my windows are tinted at 5% and it doesnt make it any harder to see out than before I like it a lot now that I've had it in there a few days... I've had a few diff mounting devices all of which seemed flimsy and wanted to vibrate or move around when I...

Wimperdink

very sorry for all the oh and I know I need to clean my windows and mirror and just for the record, "The Blend" is not my choice of xm stations.

Wimperdink

Just some pics of what I did to install my Roady 2 and something diff for my AmpOpinions and criticisms always welcome.

Wimperdink

Sorry man those horns were too pretty to hide under a scoop... they were giant too.. from bottom of mount to top of the top horn they were like 12" tall and about the same wide. I'd have to make them removeable though. Would have to have onboard air compressor to keep them tooting. I wonder if ...

Wimperdink

Ok well i'm not sure I like them chrome now. There's not many options for a broke boy huh.
