I remember hearing someone complain about having to drill holes. but i cannot find a link to the actual mounts that come with it.
if you get the hero with the auto pkg it comes with suction mount. And a pretty decent one.

The Hero 3 Silver Edition does not come with many mounts.. just a couple of 3m pads, and 5 different swivel style mounts. No suction cup or tripod mount, as those are extra. So I'll go back next week when the crowds die down.

Hey Guys, Anyone know where you can get HID kits in the city? I bought one from Chandra auto, only to get home and find out it doesn't even fit in the headlight, like the bulbs are huge, i think the ignitor is in the bulb base and not the ballast, so its a massive bulb, and doesnt fit, also its to long and hits the shield guard.

Not I. I don't have hid's.

On a side note, does anybody know how hard it is to mod 2 vehicles and restoring/building another? Well let me tell you it's not easy! Lol

Any of you guys have experience towing a car with a car dolly. I'm thinking of picking one up so I can tow the Balt to the track so I don't have to worry about breaking it.

In Calgary, go to Mopac and get a Performance World HID 6000K kit. its what I am running (and made in america) lol. It will fit in stock housing perfectly, the wiring is pretty simple, and the ballasts are doing fine with the weather. no issues.

plus... they are like 140bux each for the high/low kit and the foglight kit.

A centrifuged block would be best suited to an alloy of either cantaffordium or unobtainium.
As for the turbined 4 banger, I recommend the Rolls-Royce Trent turbine. Up to 93000 lbs of thrust available. Combine the both of them, you're looking at a supersonic cobalt!

What kind of car do you have again?

If said person already has a cantaffordium block then there isn't much of a problem! Lol
