Hey all,
My name is Ever and I live in Texas. Bought a '96 Mark VIII a few months ago with about 85K miles on it. The car runs great and is pretty fast for being almost 20 years old. I was thinking about getting it fixed up a bit. However, I am finding after-market items for some things hard to come by.
1: HEADLIGHTS - I'm sure MANY have had issues with night driving these beauties. I am trying to find some after-market headlight assemblies to purchase and get installed. I've seen some pretty awesome pics of some halo style xenon lights...I know they'll cost a bit but the look and functionality will FAR outweigh the price.
2: Most likely gonna replace the factory wheels with a more muscular design...I have a few in mind and am gonna be shopping around this weekend for good deals.
3: My power antenna does not work anymore. No biggie, but I'd like to get a fixed, rubber antenna instead of the motorized one. I need to know how long of an antenna cable I will need to get one installed.
4: I need a new grille. Currently, mine looks like someone put a fist through it and dented the trim plate right above the grille but below the hood-line / enclosure section.
5: I will need to get a couple of very minor dents and dings out, but I think I got the perfect man for that job.
6: Last but certainly not least, EXHAUST...I need to check Texas laws but I will most likely get either Flowmaster or Dynomax. I need a good rumble out of this engine...and it deserves to be let loose a bit.
If anyone out there has any comments or suggestions, please feel free to post them up. As for help with any of the parts I am interested in, the HEADLIGHTS is the MOST CRITICAL...My eyes get tired of squinting at night...LOL
Laters all...
