Oh, that one. It's fancy name is Murcury Silver. I call it Dark Grey lol. That car is currently being detailed and sealed. It will NEVER be parked outside.

In the picture, you can see what happened when I took it out for date night. Ain't doing that again, either. Nope. (I don't like washing cars).

good, astons don't deserve to be parked outside... mostly because you'll probably fog your headlights or flood the tails

Being in the garage didn't keep the headlights from fogging up. LolI was worried. Ain't gonna lie.
NOW I see why people store these things during the winter.

AM upgrades makes a fancy venting kit but people have had good luck with simple silica pads or gortex patches. one of mine fogged up a tiny bit after washing, perhaps too aggressive with the power washer. i'm going to toss a silica pack in each headlight next time i lift the car.

That works. Yeah, cold plastic and hot bulbs ..
Is there a space in the housing that's not visible?

yup, behind the access panel for the bulbs, there is some air space.

here is someone's install: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1428...27545760705291
personally i dont think i'd be comfortable with them just floating around freely, also worried about heat -> fire.

Meh. Private group.

Lol at the idea of a small fire in the headlights. All the Dodge guys would be "hella jelly, bro".

All fully locked (post June 20, 2021 ECU date) have to go to Russia for unlocks. Currently. Every single one. Shiv doesn't have magic fairy dust. I believe the 2021 in the article was pre full lock down. Or he sent the ECU to russia, because that is what EVERYONE currently has to do.

As far as the article. It's Shiv. He hasn't done anything differently than anyone else. Also ain't making 500hp if it's only trapping 119. Guy is a trust fund doof. Who cares.

I am honestly amazed he is still in business. If he wasn't well-off, he probably wouldn't be.

Should be talking to a real builder/tuner, like Bisimoto.
