i took a stock antenna & chopped it down to the rubber. about as long as the Perrin shorty now. not a loss in radio reception (city area) but might be on a road trip. the antenna core is white so i blackened the tip with a Sharpie!! here's pics...

its something and its not tacky when you look at it :)

my thoughts exactly.

looks good, and that car looks like it has 33 1/2 layers of wax on it. it looks so shiny and sexy. My new Graphite MR looked nice and shiny till snow hit and I was forced to drive it cause my winter car broke. And to top it off yesterday I had my rear bumper hit and left a small gouge right about the liscense plate. Dunno what to do about that yet....

thanks. i just waxed it yesterday with Meguiar's NXT. as you can see, it works well. also just had limo tint done on Monday.

This is off topic, but why do you have 2 evos?

why not?

the reason is when i bought the 03 we got looks in it like it was an exotic. my fiance had also been wanting to look at new cars. she drove an evo & almost rearended 6 cars due to the power. i had her look at every new car made at $50k or less to do a driving comparo. this took a whole year. she like the bby evo color (rarest & fewest made) & i found 1 in OR, & FL. she ended up buying an 04 Jag X-type for a steal ($26,200 w/fees) but wasn't happy with it cuz the 18's we put on were rubbing & you can't put an aftermarket stereo in it. she was driving 1 day & say the eblue evo at a dealer. we picked it up that day!

we will have 1 mildly tuned & 1 monster. iam trying to attempt the HKS Kansai way of life. for every car you mod have 2 for comparison to monitor your results.

evo81 Jan 16, 2005 01:41 PM

trinydex Jan 16, 2005 09:29 PM

ironic enough... there is already a "how to" on this... someone beat yah to it.

lafftwipp Jan 16, 2005 09:36 PM
