Yes it is that slick all over makes it nice to clean up.

Its like walking on ice with a fine layer of dust on it.
Looks like a fantastic job! So what are you putting in down there? Bathroom?

Whats up folks? Was there a group buy on the tips? Did I miss something? I very rarely get into the tech section anymore, maybe I missed it there.

As far as Shakespeare goes, I dont recall having to read it. But I dont recall a lot of things anymore. HA HA.

I have been looking at wheels for my truck again. I have pretty much given up on finding something hub centric and now it seems that everything I find that I like is discontinued. Oh well the search continues.

Let me just say this...
If I EVER and I mean EVER meet the person who developed those little clips for the headlights I will seriously cripple them. That is quite possibly the worst engineered thing I have ever seen in my life. Lost one somewhere in the engine bay...I know they are prolly like 10 bucks at the stealer...

Ill have some pics up soon!

I was taught how, but matches or a lighter is just so much quicker! I usually have some in my truck that are dipped in wax to waterproof them.

I have to agree, I didn't lose any of mine,but only 2 of them can be used again. I broke the crap out of one,and the other is warped now...

I bet you anything theres a special tool for them but i used a pair of snap ring pliers to get mine loose. The pliers were modified in a way to let me get to them but its still a stupid design.

I got them from ebay...dont have the money for OEMs and I got em for 99 plus shippin, headlights and corners.

Heres a question for ya guys n gals out there (listen up Lisa!)

Me and sandi were joking around about carmen electra, she said that carmen electra had a man face, and I joked back saying that carmen electra was my 2nd huney, and at least she doesnt have a boy haircut!

Well sandi took it seriously and it started a fight, do you guys think she had a right to be pissed cause of something I said jokingly? (Ive joked around with sandi about her hair before, I like it long and she likes it short)

We wanna get peoples opinions about this.

Im with you on this one, I like long hair myself. My personal opinion on this is, A woman with short hair just doesn't look like a woman. I know its probably easy to take care of,but its not feminine to me. Now I will get flamed for saying that,but its the way I feel personally ... And Carmen Electra is soooo hot
