No worries about the tint man it was coming off regardless.

Are clear bulbs for turn signals even legal? I always thought they had to be amber or red.

I was thinking either chrome bulbs that light amber or leds but still undecided.

Not sure, but i havent had an issue since 2008, and i distinctly recall making turns with cops on my azz (running my plates im sure) and even putting my hazards on when getting pulled over.

4 years in PA as well with no issues.

Tint is officially off the tails. Gonna buff them up later when I have time.

Thanks again mlara.

Looks great Ben, good job!

3156K Amber.

The first Gen rear turn bulb is only one filament and clear.
Noticed that when I pulled out the bulbs (3157K Amber) of the 04 two-tone tails I recently pulled from a yard.

So this is what being in the club feels like

Not just the surround, all chrome will be gone soon I hope.

Thank you sir.

When are you gonna have new pics of your grille!? You got a mclaren didn't you?

 

[RollinLS]

DAMN!!!!! You have been busy.:Beer

I will be packing your item and pricing shipping monday. Sorry for the delay. Wife is in Cancun. I have the kids all to myself all week.:runaway:

 

[RigsLS]

yup I got the one from Mel, the one that he salvaged after air plane remover got to it.
he did a wicked job on restoring it, i'm just holding out as I have a plate light out on the rear and am hoping to pull the surround and get to color match both the Mclaren grille and rear plate surround. + some new fresh custom colored emblems from Manoli.

should come together soon I supposed.

 

[Ben's LS]

Thanks Rollin. I've just been trying to piece it together as I go.

@ bigrig, I am going to try my hand at plasti dipping my mclaren with some white and pearlizer and see what happens. Just ordered it yesterday.

 

[Ben's LS]

A member asked about my adapters so I figured I would post up the specs from when I ordered.

LS bolt pattern: 5x108
LS hub diameter: 63.4mm


Type: One piece adapter
Hub centric to car and Wheel centric to wheel
Thickness: 22mm
Stud size: 12x1.5
Center bore: 71.5mm
Diameter: 5 by 130

 

[Ben's LS]

Not sure if I'm gonna keep them like this, but I got some black decals with white lincoln stars for the center caps.

 

[mlara1129]

That looks pretty good IMO

 

[Long_Island_LS]

If you had a black LS they would be perfect IMO...but i still think they will look good.

I actually have been looking for something similar for my 20's...

where did u get them? (ebay im guessing) ...and if you dont mind measuring, whats the diameter in millimeters? I need something around 48-50mm

Thanks

Yup, ebay. If you message the guy he will make them for you any size, any design, and up to 2 colors.

I got them domed because they look like gloss and it matches my wheels better. He has some that are plain vinyl, which I think mighta been better for me because my center caps are already kind of bulged.

[Long_Island_LS]

thank you sir

 

[Ben's LS]

Happy to help.

 

[Ben's LS]

Black, white, pearlizer, and gloss

Sorry for it being sideways, first time I've ever posted a pic straight from the phone.

 

[mlara1129]

What cha doing with that?

 

[Ben's LS]

I thought its a perfect time to experiment with some dip on my mclaren. If all goes well and I like it I may dip a few other things on the car as well.

Whole car maybe...who knows

 

[RigsLS]

Trust me I want progress too.

And pics are a guarantee when things finally go down.

 

[G-RELL]

[Ben's LS]

Thanks G! I appreciate it.

The mclaren will be dipped tomorrow so I will hopefully have pics.

And yes guys I will buy tires soon. Waiting for my damn refund check.
