I wanna do that sometime to my upper grill, you'll probably catch a lot of rice comments for it though.

bought a pack of two maxLED strips from autozone and a led switch (led lights up blue on switch when lights are on) from advanced auto. costs $40 and about an hour to install due to having trouble figuring out the best way to wire it and finding a good ground to connect to. plus my fmic is so massive and close to my lower grille, we struggled to attach the bottom strip

I saw jbros35's pic on Facebook, I had already done the bottom grill but got some advice on where to put the top led strip, here's mine.



And of course my under hood light as well

Installed a TTR rear sway bar on my 2.2 and WOW. What a difference to the handling. I still have all other fe1 suspension and I'm waiting for my tax refund to get fe5 stocks and struts and new springs (not sure on which ones yet) If anyone is still riding on shitty fe1 and wants a cheap upgrade then go get your self a sway bar.

===========

Well hopefully the new fuel filter I just bought will show me the truth of my issue and set me free. I really don't want to do a fuel pump. I am picking up a pressure tester as well.

Today, I will be installing SS/TC springs & front struts (already have SS/TC shocks installed).

Lowering the car looked cool, but I'm over it. NEPA roads are terrible, and I'm tired of puckering the butt hole everytime I see an imperfection in the road.

I really don't like when people put those lights in the grills and what not, but this looks sick!
