how much did that run you?

thinking about it- kinda waiting for my current ones to wear down though

The calipers?  About $3.99

You just buy caliper paint and paint them yourself   But of course I was cheap and I just bought high-temp acrylic enamal spray paint and used a brush to apply it.

crao...im do pissed right now.  Today was a bad day for my car. First off, i got a parking ticket even though i had at least 10 more min of available parking left in the spot where i parked....and then as i was driving on the freeway, a piece of that molding trim crap that runs around the car fell off the driver side passenger door...and i couldnt stop anywhere to get it b/c of all the cars going like 100 mph...overall bad car day.

That sucks

Did a little inside detail work to my car and fixed up some wiring issues with my stereo. 
Might take some pics of what I did, if it warms up.... Burrrr.....

ohh speaking of wiring issues with a stereo, any ideas what's up with mine? okay so it's a detachable plate (not one that hinges down, but the cd goes thru the faceplate itself). also, theres a bunch of blue lights all over it and the numbered radio presets are in red. the main display should be just a plain white/offwhite/slight yellowish kindof thing, but bright nonetheless. however, it is barely illuminating.. it's on, but barely. i know it can go soo much brighter, and it's very hard to read at night, and somewhat manageable during the daytime. any ideas here?

Does the brightness change when you turn your headlights on and off?

[adamcromack]

nope.. its just very dim right now. with the headlights on or off... it used to be that i could repeadidly take off and put back on the faceplate until it turned back on, but now it's just staying off, no matter how many times i remove and put back on the faceplate...

[Ike PC]

I'm not that great when it comes to solving problems.  It could be a loose wire or maybe a setting on the display??  Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.

[adamcromack]

yeahh i've tried all settings, tried resetting the entire player, i'm pretty sure its a dirty connection between the faceplate and the main part, but never have rubbing alcohol or something like it to clean it off..

[Ike PC]

Yeah, You might want to try that.

My current car.

Is that a joke? lol

That thing looks smaller then the miata!  It's like half VW Bug, Half Miata

[adamcromack]

that had better be a joke or i will find you and slap you across the face.

It might be... but it has 170 BHp, and only weights 700kilo's.   so i cant be bothered weither its small.
(Its a Lotus Elise Mk1 )

It's a pretty fast car for the hp to weight ratio.. I would probably kill myself in it, because I would drive it like a go-kart.
