    Nice Sunny Day

    Car not Washed..but still looks clean

    If you look closely at the last pic you'll notice a flooded passenger side fog lamp(it turned orange because of the water and mud in there) :(
    Thats how i bought it.
    Stay tuned for the DIY of how to clean a flooded fog lamp!

    What do you guys think of the whip? Seen one seen them all?

    Do you have a dead body in your trunk? because the front of your car is riding so high.

    Know what? I've never really noticed that before...but you're so right. My Front is at least 2" higher than the back.

    End Result

    Took about an hour.

    All the metallic parts were rusted including the wires and electrical connections. Needless to say, the bulb and the bulb fixture were nasty. Some parts of the fixture were so damaged that they were breaking off.

    Washed it down with water and a little dawn.
    Scrubbed the parts with an old toothbrush.
    Used some WD40 on the electrical connectors.
    I sealed the hole but I think I need to find something better than several layers of 3m Automotive Masking Tape. Any suggestions?


    Put it all back together..looks awesome!

    I wanna put yellow h3's in my fogs..what do you all think? What are the brightest h3's bulbs on the market without going HID?

    Was the STI emblem removed from the trunk? If yes, you might want to clean it up a bit. You do not want that glue/residue hanging out on the back for too long.
