It really is, even if I got it fully resprayed I'd still come out on top. But I won't of course.

I heard on HID Planet! Post some pics!

And thanks!

I've got some work to do before photos like the clear protectors, install my custom LED turn signals, and the EU/JDM turn signal diffusers.

 

[Haloruler64]

I'm excited to see it!

 

[MR2Jedi]

Yeah, thats a great deal!:deal: Looks good too. The chips aren't bad. I could live with it, but I'm sure you'll get it looking new.
Love the blue. The whole time I had my Spyder, I never saw a blue one. Only white, black and 1 Aquamarine.

Does the hard top reduce outside noise alot better than the ragtop?

Took this today

Only visible from a foot away I'm happy with the turn out.

Yeah, reduces noise like CRAZY! I can listen to music at almost half the volume and hear it clearly. Everything sounds so silent in comparison. On the road to Stockton I was thinking "god I hate running the engine at 7500-8000 RPM because of the short 5th gear, it's so loud and unnerving." On the way back I could barely hear the engine

The only noise I hear more now is a bit of reverb. Like, not necessarily NOISE, but low frequency pressure at idle. Feels kinda weird, and it's only at a very specific RPM. Dunno why.

Does no one sell weatherproof relays in a physical store?! I can't find ANYTHING outside of eBay.

 

[Haloruler64]

Okay, opinion time! Where should I put my new mini LED light bar? What do you guys think of this?

I'm not 100% sure about it but three people say it looks fine, not too ricey.

Another option, but I think this is weird.

It's surprisingly bright! In daylight it doesn't look too impressive but it's much brighter than my already bright reverse lights.

And just because I felt my car looked good at this angle. This moment brought back the feeling I had when I first took this car home from the shop after over a month without it, freshly painted.

And bonus dogs.

In the slats next to the plate?

 

[Haloruler64]

Way too big for that

 

[Bitter]

I meant behind the slats so the lights just shine through, make a bracket. Or would that cut too much light off?

Oh I didn't even notice that there is space behind the upper slats... thought it was solid. I'll look into it, but I think there's exhaust heat shielding right against it.

No light:

LED bar:

Not much distance, since it's a flood, so it's not great as a supplementary high beam. But damn, for $16 and a small size it's nice.

I crimped and soldered on a 9006 male connector so I can make a harness with a 9006 female later, makes things easier. Used a 9006 female test lead to tap the thing to my car's battery. Taken with a Nikon D3100 with exposure locked to a natural level.

No lights:

My 9th gen reverse lights in pretty focused housings:

Light bar:

And as a bonus, the entirely unlit foresty area to the side of my parking space. No before photo because it's pitch black. Yeah I took it, can't see a thing.

Gotta say, I'm impressed. The distance vision isn't good because it's a flood. There is a spot version with smooth reflectors instead of these rough ones though, so one of each would be badass.

Swapped hard tops with a friend. Quite like the silver top on blue.

 

[Bitter]

Ehhhhh too sporty boy racer looking.

 

[DannoXYZ]

Personally, I prefer the black hard-top.

 

[Bitter]

Time for Photoshop.

 

[Bitter]

You know the silver could work if all the black plastic trims were color matched to the top.

 

[Haloruler64]

Haha we swapped back, but I thought it looked cool. I would like to dip my hardtop matte black though!

 

[Bitter]

Just do a better job than your wheels!
