Welcome to the forum, John. Beautiful XFire!

 

diggin the front lip

 

Thanks! Im still kinda on edge with it but it covers up all the scratched from prev. owner and is cheaper than an srt bumper so it will have to do

 

Its something different and that's what counts

 

Those lights are so bright , I'm assuming you had to set up ballast and everything or do you have the bulb with colored tint around the glass?

 

Yes, an HID kit, but its a simple plug and play, except for its a B**** to the the wire ran threw the h7 clip. I bought mine from ddmtuning there cheap and have a lifetime warranty

 

Sweet! Another third pedal owner, lol.

Nice car, really liking the tinted taillights.

 

gotta love the 6speed.....tho not looking forward to the pricy clutch

 

Plastidiped my wheels today.... I will be pressure washing it off tommorw as i dont like the texture.....but would like comments on the black wheels on my car

#1 love your car
#2 NEVER take a picture of your car in front of Wal-Mart, lol
#3 To be frank, I think the silver door handles and orange front lights make the all black wheels look out of place. I do like them black, just something isn't quite right...Maybe I'm just not used to seeing them all black like that. Still though, it's a Crossfire, paint the wheels polka dot and it would still be a hot ride!

 

well im working on blacking everything out.... one thing at a time lol just wasnt sure about the wheels being black so I did a test...

 

I hope it didn't sound like I don't like them, I do. I think they will look much better when you everything blacked out. Wish I could do that to my own - don't have the tools or the muscle, lol. Keep updating with pics!!

 

The plastidip texture will smooth out in time... give it a week or two and see if you like them better then... also, you can paint over the plastidip if you wanted to use a glossier black

 

Oh no, I completly agree I was just saying... I just cant decide what I want to do lol

 

Kinda felt that way at first.. but now what 6 months later I just couldn't see my car without it..

 

I may leave it on alittle longer.... I just think if I like the wheels black or a diff color why not go ahead and actually paint them. It was more of a test cuz I havnt seen very many pictures of areo blue crossfires with black wheels

 

MrMiata, looking at your XFire - it reminds me that you lucky Okies don't have to have front license plates like we do in WI. Ever thought about putting some LED's where those lic plate holes are?

Ooops sorry didn't mean to hijack someone else's thread, lol.

 

It gets contagious.. (hijacking..I don't think there is a single thread that stays on topic all the way through).. Couldn't see LED's myself.. think it would look too out of place. Thought I had some trim plugs to use but the shaft was too big and I couldn't see forcing them in and opening the hole more. Just wandering through life now waiting for something to pop up that will fit in them.. um.."nicely".. LOL.

Personally (back on topic) I'm not a fan of the blacked out look.. but no since in lining them up at a car show or GTG and it just looking like a dealer car lot from back when.. Different is a good thing as long as it fits your personal taste...

 

Well...I know this might sound strange but I make earrings out of just about anything, esp if it says OSU on it, lol. I'm pretty sure they make OSU lic plates with matching caps/screws. Just use the screws. I hear you are pretty good at...uhmm...nevermind...lol.
