lol using your resources as much as you can... Hope everything goes good and post pics of you shop lol

Thanks, I wanna get things a little more set up and then I'll snap a few pics. Finished the wheelie bar at about 5:30am this morning, the owner is pleased. The front clip doesn't come in until sometime late this week, but I've got all the sheet metal off the front end of the truck and stripped out unnecessary stuff like headlights and signal lights and wiring. I pulled off the mirrors and door handles and smoothed them out. Everything is shaved now, frenched the antenna last night too since there's no need for a stereo in a drag truck. I'm gonna repaint those areas tomorrow when my clear comes in. The taillights were actually pretty easy to shave, I was surprised. I bought some of those taillight filler panels from the Brothers catalog, it's worth the price. I think it took me about 30 minutes to have everything welded and ground down.

Well, I ran out of room for cars today at the shop already. So, here's a few pics of an 09' Chevy I did up at my house today, it turned out nice. Converted the highs, lows and fogs all to 10,000K HID's. Not bad pics for an iPhone...

Well, I should be getting my Aveo back from the dealership today all fixed and detailed.

can i ask, how much you charge for an hid conversion install?

Depends on the color and if I'm doing hi's/lows/fogs or just headlights. But for all 3 in blue I charge in the ballpark of $275 installed.

Got the Aveo back today, runs like a champ. Putting my winter wheels on tonight.

Well, got my winter rims on but I'm back here at Lithia Chevrolet dropping the car off again. It was running great, but it threw a code this morning and started running like crap again. What a pain...

do you know the code and or what they said they fixed?


price sounds reasonable for hids, that includes parts?

Parts included yes. As for the Aveo, they did an injector, 4 spark plugs, air filter, oil change, patched a tire, and replaced a tire pressure sensor. Then detailed it. Today though, it had 64 misfires in cyl. #1 in 3 minutes of idling. So it goes back to the shop tomorrow morning for a full new set of coils. Fun fun.
