The correct procedure is: 1: Douse car liberally, inside and out, with gasoline. 2: Light 3: Call insurance. My first core made it all of 2 1/4 years but got replaced under warranty. My second made it 2 1/2 years and just past my 4yr warranty. Dealer wanted $3,200 for their retail gouging...

Can you help us understand what you're trying to get away from with clay? An answer from a price perspective might be different to one from a too aggressive/not aggressive enough perspective - which would be different to one from a "I keep dropping the damn things and having to toss them!"...

Tuesday through Saturday, 6 states (AZ, CA, ID, MT, NV, WY), five national parks, 2850 miles and somehow near enough to 25mpg out of a V8. This follows going out for dinner on the Saturday before, driving from San Diego, CA to Yuma, AZ, for a restaurant chain they don't have in California...

I've learned that "hookers" is not an advisable answer. :( Mind you, with an English accent, I've learned that opening my mouth is always a mistake at border patrol. When I'm riding, I just flip my visor open and let them bask in my pasty English skin. They wave my job stealing, immigrant...

I didn't like the bolts at first. Fortunately, they are true bolts and so can be easily removed, replaced, coated, painted or whatever you need. With time though, they've kind of grown on me. Having that contrast to the black works (from our taste's perspective). Making them a visual...

24 Hours In - Death By Carwash Ford really should include a warning about black painted rims and car washes with tracks that have side guards on them. Our driver's side rims made it all of 24 hours. $130/wheel and they're back to normal now. But ouch.

Rear Tints We left the brake lights CHP friendly. But tinted out the reverse light (which has the Raxiom Fourth Brake Light installed) and the two reflectors for a cleaner black lower trim (Read the CA laws: You need two working brake lights. The rest are apparently yours to screw with.)

Little Girl And Her AT-AT A closer shot of that AT-AT decal. Because it's adorable. Also note the third brake light still clear through the tint.

Do you know how hard it is to find anything other than direct light in Southern California? This also shows the swapped out American Muscle Raxiom Switchback lights glowing white, not amber. They're pushed slightly to yellow by the tints but I still really like the cooler, closer to white, look.

Wide View Overlooking Lake Henshaw on the East Grade of Palomar Mountain. The darker Raxiom smoked side markers ditch that bright red. I like how the black gas cap keeps the black & red theme playing across the side of the blackout package. Plus note Erin's "Little girl taking an AT-AT for a...

Out on the twisties On the South Grade of Palomar Mountain. Really liking how the black pony, black scoops, tinted lights all come together for a slightly more aggressive look without going fully murdered out. They seem to play really nicely with the Ruby Red. I guess I'm not used to...

Black Gas Cap I went heavily overboard on filters because, well, it was too fun a set of highlights to play with. I kind of like how it's become an abstract. But here's the Drake/CJ's Pony Parts gas gap.

The Tinted Lights Here are the American Muscle tints on the lower lights, Big Worm Graphix light tints on the headlights to keep it more CHP friendly. Also, the 2016 black heat extractors. But no California Package style hood spears nor black mirrors or bright chromed logo on the side of the...

We completely failed to join you guys after the wheel repair guy delayed from Saturday to Sunday morning... but took the inspiration and did Palomar/Julian anyway. The old guys loitering out front at Mother's Kitchen seemed to appreciate Erin pulling up in a manual GT and willing to shoot the...

Thank you 90MUSTANG06. Your Imperial Guard has been one of our favorite builds. Subtly different to what we want to go for but absolutely gorgeous. And, of course, I'd never admit in writing that she thrashed the hell out of anything - insurance might see it. So you'll never hear me say...

And two scuffed wheels plus 700 miles within the first 48 hours. So it's being used properly.

Parts American Muscle: Thanks AMAlexLazarus Lights... Raxiom switchback turn signal kit Raxiom smoked side markers Raxiom 4th brake light Raxiom stage 1 interior led kit - actually only used the vanity bulbs, decided to go with stg 2s from Diode Dynamics for the rest. Billet Chrome... Oil...

Erin apparently ran over an entire gypsy family, possibly a whole village, about a year ago. Every car she's touched breaks something every 1,000 miles or so. She even broke two rental cars in two weeks. It was time to get her something new with lots and lots of warranty. Add in she was a...

Oops. Clicked event not post. Apologies. No idea how I swap it back to a post.

I should learn to check part numbers. My $72 loss can hopefully be someone else's gain. Anyone in Irvine or further south (I'll be in SD all weekend) want it? It's the five button, remote start A2C31243300 not the four button, non remote start A2C31243800.
