sugguestions to kill some free time this week

[nickrule99]

Hey guys-

Ive got some extra time this week and I want to do something to my car. Im not really gonna mess with the performance stuff until spring- so right now its all cosmetic stuff.

I need a project to do this week. Im thinking about changing the interior LED's to blue or something. Maybe playing around with fiberglass or something. Its gonna be around 0 degrees all week so whatever I decide to do will have to be able to be done inside.

Anyone have any suggustions what I can do to give my car a custom look? (no painting interior parts.... did that in my last one). Ive got a XM roady that I need to mount. I might end up making a mount for it somewhere... any idea where I can put it?

I was also thinking about mounting something up by the sunroof controls, but I dont know what.

I dont want to just go out and buy a set of tail's.. throw them in and call it a day. I need something that is going to take me a couple days to complete- and still be ablet to drive the car in the meantime.

Any sugguestions would be awesome.

Maybe mount the XM reciever up by the sunroof controls? THat way you k nock out 2 birds with one stone. I think it'd look nice.

how possible is it to put a sirius reciever in the visor?

You shouldn't play with fiberglass if your inside with closed windows. What I plan on doing, when I get some cash, is goto a junk yard. Get a turbo valve cover and intake mani. Get an electric dremmel, shave the m both smooth, clean them up with a wire brush attachment and then polish them up real nice. Then gasket match the intake mani and install them both. I don't know if that would be a weekend project. But it's an idea. It would be time consuming. Could work on this weekend, and maybe a few more weekends. But when your done I think you'd have some pretty sweet looking parts. Thats what I plan on doing. Again I don't know if you could do it in a weekend or if you have the money to do it. Obviously you will need more to do it than just a dremmel and a wirebrush attachment. You'd need some sand paper too. And a few other stuff. What ever you do, good luck and post pics when your done so we can see it!

I dont know, ive never seen one. If the dimensions seem as though they would fit, then it probably wouldnt be too hard. Just go to a junkyard, get a visor, and start playing around.

im sure it could be done... but do you really want to be reaching up to the visor every time you need to change the station? I was thinking about mounting my XM where the sunroof controls are and moving the control somwhere else, but decided it wouldnt be the safest idea. maybe Ill get a radar detector and turbo timer and mount them up there or something.

My buddy and I decided to make a fiberglass box for his audiobahn flame q's. Weve got a somewhat heated garage to work in... so we'll see how this turns out. If it turns out good chances are you'll see a couple more boxes for sale on here. Im just afraid that If I end up being good at this, my car will be all fiberglass by the time Im done. My buddys already talking about doing his door panels over (hes got a 2002 Sentra Spec-V)

Anyways- thanks for the suggestions.

i always liked when ppl put the safc up in the headliner

 

[nickrule99]

yeah me too. I saw a pic of it the other day and thats actually waht inspired me to want to do something up there. I cant put a SAFC up there though... cause I dont have one.. or have the need. We'll have to work on that this summer

Do the greyforest hood mod. it's Pimp.

Do the ground wire mod, don't buy the kit ($300CAD!!!) go to a local stereo shop pick up wiring and connectors, cost me under $100CAD including a upgraded battery post. I've done all the connectors (soldered etc..) just waiting for it to warm up a little before the install.
There is a FAQ on this mod on this site.
