Clean Car man!

I got a couple questions...

Hey are you using the Apple AUX cable? Are you just using the USB part of that cable to do the charging?

Also might be off subject but what's SSV? you mentioned you have an VSS switch? what exactly is a VSS switch and what does it do? haha sorry if that's a dumb question.

all plugged in for my audio and video


Your car has a "Vehicle Speed Sensor" that tells it when it is moving. The video/input for the nav screen is locked out during movement so you have to interrupt that signal in order to use your screen while moving. The switch connects/interrupts the VSS

updated the original post to maximum length

*Continuation of First Post*

-Fast Intentions RHFC
This was a huge pain to accomplish. I just realized, I have no pictures of the part or actual install, so here is a picture of my car under the knife for a handful of changes. Big thanks to the SG'Z team and friends who came out to lend helping hands. I never could have handled all that without you guys.

I will eventually record a video to hear the difference in the addition in contrast with my other videos.

-DIY Gloss Black Headlights
Wasn't as bad as expected. Took the headlights off, removed the ballasts, screws holding the two pieces together, and the miscellaneous plastic clips. Then baked them at 220 degrees for 9 minutes. WIth a little bit of effort, the lens then separated fine. If you plan to removed the parking light shroud, the tabs holding it to the housing is VERY FRAGILE! Trust me, I found out.






Have some other things to add but need to take pictures.

Thanks for checking it out and leaving your input!

Good lookin ride man. Looks great with the headlights and grill blacked out. Any plans for the chrome on the trunk, or keeping it as is?

Either way looks great man, you can always do the front end swap , think I saw a guy on here with a black sedan do it.
Keep listening to us though we're going to break your bank

Nice car and mods man. I have vertini hennesy in the same offsets. I rub on the front and back on big dips. And I am not dropped too low either. I am surprised that you don't have any neg camber. Great looking car

Nice looking ride! How about blackening the window trim thats chrome? But a black roof will set of the car well too . Red and black is a good contrast.
