I used to have Dejon charge piping with a greddy RS BOV, sold it, bought the injen, now back to dejon. I love it. I always wanted to try the HKS BOV cause they seem the most customizable with the different inserts for sound and ****. But in all honesty, all charge pipes are exactly the same to me. They dont really make a difference at all. You dont notice any spool difference or sound difference. Its pretty much whatever one you think looks nice. At least thats how i see it. HKS is fun though! lol. I love driving around with a BOV.



I got a revving one outside too its uploading. sounds pretty straight. I wanna get the inserts for the HKS so i can change it when i want to

You say you love the sound... honestly I can't stand the sound they make

I love you too blueberry I was out playing with the noise maker today. Almost got my hands on a cold side pipe with MAF relocation kit some1 was selling but they had just sold it. Ordered a recirc kit for it though since i have a dejon intake with recirc fitting on it.

click this link and go to 8:55. Thats the bike I want

Door panels come off and it goes up on jackstands so i can work on the car and the wheels and calipers this week. Today I just did some running around and swapped out a quart of silver base for Chrysler silver basecoat so it covers better, got my silver pearl for the black, ordered a recirc fitting from a local performance shop for my HKS, traded in 2 games to gamestop twords Splinter Cell Conviction ANNND! picked up 2 cans of 3M professional grade undercoating to shoot the yellow roof metal with. Did a real quicky job in the driveway today with taped up newspaper on the glass and sunroof and huge plastic sheets over the seats and interior. Its a real quick job, doesnt look all that great but i just wanted it not to be yellow and to add a little sound deadner and corrosion resistance to it so at least its a functional spray that I put on it. Still have another can. I may throw some more on when i get it in the shop, or I may pull up some of my carpet and spray under it. Where the seats bolt into the floor, theres a slit in the carpet and you can see yellow metal under it. i wanna shoot that with some undercoating.

eh a little harder. But I didnt use a brush so I fucked up following directions Its not bad, its not like crunchy, its just feels a like 10% stiffer then it was before. Thats why i hate listening to people who say "rub it in" and thats all the info you get. iv felt carpet that was sprayed and rubbed in with the brush and it felt perfect. not crunchy or painted at all. You wouldnt know the difference. pretty amazing stuff. Id definitly recommend it.

You could do that, and yea the color coat works well on the plastic too. It says right on it, it works for vinyl, fabric, plastic, everything. I was thinking about Suede but I just hate the look when some1 rubs it in a different direction and it looks all different colors. Thats just a pet peeve of mine lol

UPDATE

Ripped apart the interior today and worked more on the spoiler. Made good progress:
















lots of nakey pics! broke like every damn clip on the bottom of that black rubber piece on rocker panel when you step in and out of the drive seat, its like that rubber grib thing to protect from your shoes hitting it i guess. You cant remove those clips with a clip tool, once you pull ont hem they just stretch and snap. So i gotta get new ones from the dealer when i install it all. not a big deal just pissed me off. But other then that everything went smoothly. Wound up Sanding the spoiler again and fixed a spot on the end that was thicker then the rest and pissed me off. still have to work on it again tommorow since i feel a bunch of high and low spots and it needs to be hit 180 and primed again. Tommorow im gonna jack up the car and set it on jackstands and start sanding the wheels.

The primer layed down real clumpy on the wheels and itll be a bitch to final sand them without going down to the metal, so i think im just gonna hit them with 180 on a soft hand pad, use my primer gun and hit them with primer surfacer and lay it down as smooth as I can get it, so then i can just scuff them up with a scotch bright and apply color. Real difficult to sand primer on rims without going down to the metal since its all edges.
