My Fresh Ride

[Sidewinder]

Since you have had the ultra racing goodies for a bit now, how does the car handle? Had any issues with them? I had a front and rear strut bar on my previous vehicle and they were great looking at getting these. Car is looking great btw.

the car handles great since ive put them on.
definate difference to be felt, and thats having put them on one by one.
i havent been able to go play with it since getting them all on there,
but i can certainly feel how its more prone to sliding than leaning on turns.
it feels great, love it.

theres those new fenders.
i was thinking, because the vents go where the original side marker goes,
could i wire up some sequential blinking LED turn signal strips,
behind the fenders,
so that my vents would light up all cool-like?
yes.

I've been looking at those same headlights. I notice you have a separate control box under your steering column. Was there something preventing you from wiring them directly into your original headlight controls?
Also, I've considered messing with the center control console where it has those black plastic bumps on either side of the hazard lights. It could be nifty to wire in switches like this in their place.

[Andrewkittens]

switches there would be pretty neat.
itd be extra cool if someone could find two extra hazard light switches
and just paint them and mount them in those spots.
but it was much easier to wire mine right under the steering wheel.
they arent for the headlights though,
the control box has switches for my aftermarket foglights.
one for the lights, and the other switch for the halo LEDs on them,
which i wired together with the halos on the headlights as well.

Finally found some time to take the car down and paint those new fenders.
I thought is came out pretty well, very minimal work needed.



I tried the whole setup with sequential LEDs behind the vents
to replace the turn signal side markers, but it looked too
over-the-top.
I just mounted the original light behind thee fenders so it glows out of there.
Its pretty neat.

Nice work that car looks nicer every time i see it. Any more plans in the works?

[Andrewkittens]

Honestly, i dont know what else I can do to it.
any suggestions?

It didnt come with power locks, so thats definately in my future plans..

[classic67]

Id say a lip for sure. Your lucky your car is whiteyou can easily color match. Its not to low sono rubbings issues. But thats just me.

[Andrewkittens]

well i installed my own power locks about a week ago, turned out great.
Honestly, a breeze if youre mechanically inclined in any way.

i have been looking at the kalos lip kit, but it has been very difficult to find.
