yes I have a dremel it's full of iron dust and therefore only has 2 settings, off and full power (well...what power it has) but I never use it. I prefer my pneumatic grinder.

I may take some pics of some stuff...it's cold but I'm going to work on it some more in a few.

I had a post about c6 lights on my car months ago . Decided not to ruin the smoothness of the frontend. Quality job but those lights are too damn big.

Dayum TT. J/K GS, love your car.

The biggest POS I've ever seen? Havn't seen it yet. But the thing on EBAY, with the fire coming out of the hood, a couple of weeks ago was pretty damn close.

I like the idea, but the celica lights dont fit the body style.

If I would do something, it would be using something similar to the C5R.

I almost never use the puke-smiley but that car has me reaching for it. It's just... really, really bad. I don't know what "craftsmanship" it took to mold completely random headlights into that fiberglass, but that thing is officially a rig. Random changes, no attention to detail, blahhhh.
