Parts that are worth a damn

[ground_zero298]

Thought I'd start a link for aftermarket conti parts. If you bought something that you thought that was excellent quality or crap, leave some pics and a review of it. That way all of us knows wht works and what's a waste of money.

RikenSport 9007 HID conversion kit.

Very nice kit, $200, direct plug and play, 2 sets of bulbs, life time warranty on bulbs and ballasts. Was easy to install, the only thing I didn't like was I had to drill a 1" hole in the black screw in cap on the back of the head light. But once I did their rubber grommet took care of the hole. I give it a 9 out of 10, because I had to break the drill out. 30 minute install. Excellent look, I absolutly love it.

4 piece stainless pillar posts

Excellnt product, 4 pieces of cut, rolled, and properly fitted stainless trim. Comes with 3M backing tape, very sturdy. The only down side, they have to be hit with some metal polish every now and again to get the finger prints off. 9 out 10.

nice h.i.ds I got mine from xenonking.com for 300ish they're the 9007 8000k kit and they're real sexy, Also got my stainless pillars from a guy on cardomain and I just wipe them down to get the finger prints off real simple stuff they look great. I just need wheels now im leaning towards the zinik violi rims. I'd also recommend changing out the rest of your exterior bulbs to xenon white bulbs to make it cleaner and put leds all up on the interior like I did looks hot. Im on the look out for aftermarket gear for the conti so keep me posted on what you find mines a silver 97.

ground_zero - what color temperature was your HID kit? They appear to be very blue - 8-9k maybe?

 

[ground_zero298]

kit came with 8k (blue) and 6k (white) I put the 8k in so yes you are correct

I really like those H.I.D. lights, but I know cops will pull me over with the quickness for those

For some reason they only look that blue during the day, They look almost white at night.

Wenol ultra soft metal polish (blue tube)

I've used wenol for awhile but figured out some other stuff it can clean on the conti last night. Cleaned up all the chrome plastic trim around the side windows, bumpers, grill, and license plate bezel. It all looks new know with no hazing or scratches. Also it cleaned up my head lights and took out the light swirl marks and a deep scratch out on my tail lights. All with minimal effort.

This is a must have if your in to detailing your car.

Stainless fender moldings.

STOP DO NOT BUY FROM TRUCKDADDY ON EBAY.

These were the cheapest and thinest pieces of crap I have ever seen. Thin as tin, already hazed, rubber molding already falling off. and the only way to get the fronts on it to drill a hole where the fender bends and goes underneath the wheel well.

Complete waste of money.

Pinnacle Interior cleaning kit

I broke down and bought some pinnacle products. I went with the interior cleaning kit for 79.99 that comes with leather,vinyl cleaner, leather lotion, vinyl and rubber protectant, and a leather cleaner and conditioner. Plus some micro fiber towels and 2 detailing brushes.

I pretty much got this just to clean my leather. I've used simple green on the interior for some time now and I new eventually it would suck all of the oil out of my seats. Needless to say this pinnacle stuff is amazing. I got some much dirt and nicotine off my leather, my towel looked brown when I was done. The leather conditioner actually smells like leather. I put it on heavy and the seats soaked it all up. Vinyl spray worked like a charm, put on with a pad, then wipe with a clean cloth. The car smells clean as new on the inside now.

10 out of 10 must have for leather seats.

Pinnacle Signature Series II Carnauba Paste Wax

Got this also for the steep price of 40 bucks. Goes on smooth, comes off even smoother. craziest shine I have ever seen I my car. I have the ivory parchment and I had more translucent colors when I was done than I ever seen.

9 out of 10 because of price.

1Z Einszett Glass Polish
got this for 6 bucks. just wipe on, it turns white, then wipe off with the microfiber towel that come with it. NO STREAKS. took me 5 minutes to do the outside windows.

10 out of 10
