you can try nail polish remover to take off the spray on tint. The only thing is it may eat the plastic a little if you are not careful making the plastic hazey/foggy. then you have to buff it.. etc. Lot-O work

If i were you i would probably leave it and see what happens. I started tinting the tails on my G6 ( only have the 3rd light in the trunk done) I have enough to do one tail and not the other... but even if it's too dark.... no biggie.

cops... if nobody can see me put my brake lights on, I will get mashed up. Which I guess isn't the end of the world because I can get a nice car, but my $700 subwoofer and two expensive amps, etc. are in the back of my car

HOLY GOD I WANT...

And yeah I think I'm screwed I'm going to go to some tinting specialists and ask if it's salvagable. As much as I like the tint, it'd be easier to remove it than use really bright lights.

I love that race track it is on... 12.1miles of pure fun.... god lol

In forza2 it takes me about 10mins to complete, I do all my car tuning on that track, if it cant handle well on that track, it wont be good anywhere else...

Image01 - VW Bug Turbo - One successful lap of nurburgring

You can see all the brake dust lol

The rear bumper came off because of a jump other than that, if it can pass my extreme driving on this track then it's a good tuned car... after that I did some minor adjustments and now I'm Flyin!!!

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

Hahaha Gir you got pwned in the beetlethingie

Soooo... you think I'll get pwned by the cops if it's too dark? Or rear ended becasue people don't know I'm braking? Or not be able to see me very well at night? I don't want to risk it per se... I'm serious it's really dark. I'll get some pics so you understand (yes, I will actually get pics this time haha).

Well I'm slowly learning all the features that the Dashhawk has to offer... I also messed around with the datalogger stuff that you can download into the computer... This is just a "test" run for me. I also did a 0-60 run.. but i messed up and erased it by accident... oh well theres always tomorrow.

I'm gonna go get a diagnostic on my car soon, I have a gut feeling something is wrong with my car... I've been saying this a while but I really want to get it checked before my car explodes

I had a dream I blew a gasket... that's good enough for me lol

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

new injectors installed, fixed the majority of the misfiring... still slightly misfiring.. grrr... car runs ok in idle.. once I put it in reverse to get out... it did a slight chug, then we let it sit in reverse w/ the brake on and it died eventually...

so we put it in neutral and parked it. everything was done right, new upper plenum gaskets, there wasnt too much to take off to get to it, just eh on the tq specs on the fuel rail placing, they were snug but not tight

Nice graph

So that 212 in the white box was that your HP ??
Seems high for such a slow start...
You can see the air temp drop when you were WOT.
That is pretty nice kinda like the DHP screen(s) I have seen but cheaper

The best place to mount that unit would be with in arms reach, with out having to lean over or something to adjust.

I lost my suction cup thing for my radar detc and I just have it taped mounted to the dash
...now that's cheap !

I've been so busy this past week ..
at least its not 100 deg outside
