WiR3D's Build...

Hey guys! So.. I got home from Afghanistan about 2 months ago now.. dang.. its already been 2 months... Anyway.. I bought myself a 2006 Radiant Red DCSB. I started doing a little modding... I had an Ipod adapter installed recently .. getting bored with the same damn music on the radio all the time. I also just did a little plasti dip project with a buddy of mine on my wheels over this weekend. I should be installing a color matched Satoshi here pretty soon and hopefully some new HID's... Anyhow.. heres the start to my never ending story!

 

Well, first, welcome back and thank you for your service to our country sir!

Truck looks good man! I like the look of the Plasti dipped wheels...will be interested in how they hold up.

 

Pizza look tasty

 

Yea.. I was a little skeptical about doing plasti dip but I checked out all the videos on youtube and researched it a bit and well from what ive seen they should hold up quite well. I can pressure wash the wheels and it should affect the plasti dip. Oh.. and the pizza was delicious!

I just bought into the group buy on the HID retrofit kit so I have that coming along with a spare set of headlights to use. I tell ya.. this modding thing is fun but boy I can see myself going broke doing all of this all the time!

 

So far so good on the Plasti dip wheels! They are still lookn pretty sexy! I finally got my HID Projector Retrofit kit in yesterday! and started applying some paint to a set of headlights last night and did a small mock up to see what it would look like..

 

Looks good bro, keep up the good work

 

Well I just picked up a set of OME lift kit thanks to one of the guys on here. I should hopefully be getting my Satoshi grill in and Im hoping to install that this weekend. Along with the grill I should have my blacked out headlights and HID projector retro fit completed and installed aswell! I will post more pics once everything starts being put together!

 

Satoshi grill installed! Need to get new headlights for the Black Headlight Mod and projector install.. the ones I acquired ended up being total crap.

 

Have you tried to restore them via the wet sand method?

The M3 restoration came with a wet sand 1000 grit and 3000 grit sand paper. My friend and I tried the whole system over 2 times and got nowhere... Either way... I just got a set of headlights on ebay for 67 bucks. So when I get these Ill just pull them apart and put in the HID Projectors.

 

Welcome home! Looks great! I'll keep an eye out for you if your ever in St. Pete!

 

Im up in clearwater so your def not far from me! 727!

 

Ahhhhh YYYEEEAAA!! OME set came in today! Thanks to jrmitt808! AAL should be in this week aswell for the install this weekend! W00T!

 

Schaweeeet!

 

Well I got the rest of my lift kit in today.. Just waiting for the weekend to do the install! Man I cant wait to get this on my truck!

 

Well I got my HID Projectors installed today! FINALLY! Next up 3in lift next weekend!

 

Lookin really great so far! How difficult was the HID install? I'm looking to install HID's on my 02!

Radiant Red FTW!

 

To be honest the install was not hard at all. I did the D2S HIDs so they were pretty much plug and play..Altho.. I f'ed up my first set of headlights with sanding and trying to clean them up they came out horrible.. Bought a second set of ebay.. they were great til I f'ed up 1 of them by getting glue on it and put Goof off on it.. DO NOT PUT GOOF OFF ON PLASTIC! lol I learned my lesson.. so.. through the hassle I used my OEM headlights and changed out the shroud with the black one from the ebays and they came out great.. took maybe 2-3 hours yesterday after everything to get it all apart and put back together. So minus all the other bs I did it was an "easy" install.. haha!

 

Heres how my trucks currently sits.

 

It's a start!

j/k j/k Can't wait to see more!

Next time I'm down in Tampa, we'll have to grab a beer at TK
