Pretty much for the exact same reason as I stated in the last post. Still a hell of a lot cheaper to take samples now and alleviate existing problems now than it is to wait until it has to be repaired and becomes much more expensive.

As for me, I've begun removing the garage door opener, glasses holder, and tissue (or whatever) compartment. I wanted to completely remove the roof console and repurpose the electrical connections to it, but I'm not prepared to reupholster the vehicle right now, so I'll instead repurpose the entire roof console.

You can say it over and over, but I just do not see a point to it. I have never known anyone to do this, I have never done this, and have not ran into serious problems that otherwise would have been preventable by getting my oil tested.. But hey, not knocking it, I just personally do not see a point

Default Pictures !!!

So I did a lot of this work over the last week and haven't been able to catch up on photos until today, so here we go.

Richphotos - these are for you man !!

So the debadging went well I thin, I definitely am liking the new look. Let me know what you think







So that is the debadging pics. Forgot one corner, but you can see what it looks like in the other photos.

Other thing I did was replace my stock tail lights with some Smoked Lens LED Spider TL's This is how they look in day light






And the last thing I got done this past weekend was installing the Glow-Thru guage face. White Face cover during the day, at night the white cannot be seen well and the stock lights shine through and turn the dash an awesome red LED-ish look ! I really enjoy it, when it gets dark tonight I will post one last pic of the look.


Curious to hear feed-back/thoughts on how it all turned out !

Looks good! I like those tail lights, I usually am not a fan of aftermarket, but each time I see those for the second gens, the more and more I like them. I think it would look really good to pull them apart, and stuff the red reflectors for the incandescent bulbs with philips LED's, then have the rings be the running lights, and the centers stuffed with LED's be the brakes.

I spent 3 hours trying to take my light rack off so it would be easier to put the new lights on... The bolts were all stripped and took forever to get off and after all that the light rack won't even come out. I'm just going to cut it off tomorrow and put my new lights on the rack connected to the luggage carrier.
