Is that the flipster?

 

No, a license plate flip bracket like this.

Holy shit this took me like two hours to finish. Shits a PITA.

Anyways. Keep the little panels wood grain since I have a wood grain steering wheel or vinyl all of it + the steering wheel?

 

I was thinking putting carbon fiber on the side trims on the door and leaving the window control panels wood grain? Or should I carbon fiber all the wood grain?

 

I hate the wood. Was trying to make it less shitty by having less of it. I might just do it all.

 

I probably would have covered them up with a gloss black or dark gray. My Lexus has a carbon intake that I'm not too big of a fan of, but they don't offer it in non carbon fiber.

 

Those lights are no joke if they are what I think they are. Get some output shots in here @northwesttaco

I had that couch in college!

Twinning! That's my plan when I get a winch as well!

 

@TK-422

Is that flip plate on a spring? If so, you might want to swap to the flipster. Otherwise you'd have trouble using the winch because you'd have to hold the plate up the whole time.

 

Also how are you keeping the grill up and not flopping down when driving?

 

It is. Tomorrow I will 3D print a part that will hold it in the upright position when I need to use the winch. A simple wedge I will keep on a leash. I will have it clip inside when not in use.

for now I have the top of the grill zip tied. I ran out of time to setup a mailbox key that will hold it in place until I need to access that area for line tangles, train horns I will install at some point and the 50's Cadillac 4 tone horns I will replace the stock ones with. I loved the Cadi horns on my RAV4. It scared the SH@& out of dumb asses that were in my way.

 

@MattJakobs yup that's my friend Haha


Warm white flood (outer two)


Cool white spot


That was my first time using long exposure and had it set too long but you get the idea. It's fucking bright. Message me if you want any info

 

PSA to anyone with, getting, installing, removing etc. the MT springs, rent this tool for installation, will save you much time and grief.

 

What's that called? Never seen those compressors before

 

I dunno, I kinda like the wood accents. I think all CF would be too much.

 

I have matte black vinyl that I'm gonna put on the rest of the trim and cover the wood grain and put CF on the side trim of the doors so it's not too much.

 

details on that hinged grille please

 

No

 

lol, buncha high school students.

Theyre annoying
