I really need a pic of the bottom of your hood Nasty. Then I can tell you.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean with "bottom".
Which view do you need?

Thanks for being always there.

By the way.

I am getting quoted $ 100 for a FE4 shocks kit (almost new). Is it a good price?
I intend to install them with the Hotchkis TVS 80079-1 and then to change the wheels to 18".

What do you think about this configuration?

That's not bad but I got mine for $40. That was extremely good!! You'll love those FE4 Nivomats!!

You have a top and bottom to your hood. The bottom is the part you see when you open the hood. I'm looking for a channel about 4" wide near the back of the hood that is there to clear the STB. If it's not there then you are screwed. Good luck.

I’m afraid, I’m screwed … but I’ll better wait until I received the part to be sure it wont’ fit.

By the way, where did you get the FE4 at $50? Both front and rear?

From a CTS-V Forum Member. He upgraded to the FG2 set up.

After upgrading CF to version 1.47, I customized the Aura skin using Photoshop. This is the result:

Looks sweet man... I wish I had the $ to do a mod like this

[nastymigui]

Actually is can be cheaper than a factory Navigation.
If you don't feel confident about mounting a pc, I recommend you to read this:

It won't be expensive and it looks great.

I just wish there was someone close to here that could be paid to do it.. EXACTLY how i want it. I dont mess with motherboards, and cutting chases is far beyond my DIY knowledge

[nastymigui]

Some guys asked me to build this kind of carputer, so if you are interested about it just PM with your budget so I could make one for you based on that.

[nastymigui]

Some guys are asking for details about how to build the harness, so I'm attaching a drawing of my installation so you can figure out how to do it by yourself.

I'm getting bored after upgrading to HID so I'm thinking about installing DIY daylights to look like the new A6.
Thanks to 1badgmc for the photos I used to simultae what I want my CTS to look like after this mod (he's got a great post for Time Allen-style eyelids).

I would like to build a plastic housing to fit in the ugly gap between the headlight and the bumper, and inside I will locate the led strip. You can connect the factory lights and/or use a switch to decide when to turn them on/off.

What do you think?

These are some options (I like the first one).
