chrishill 0 Posted August 21, 2006 the shelf supports look messy (and i dont mean becuase those ones are bit scruffy!) theres no need for them to be there without a rear shelf. I dunno, seems a bit pointless unless you're using your C to lug alot of gear around in. Personally I'd say get rid of the whole rear seat setup, carpet the area, fit a rollcage and a rear strut brace. That way it looks properly stripped out but gives you the carpeted look which I think personally just looks tidier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You make a good point there, now I have more stuff to think about for the design if i get rid of those speaker/ support shelfs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToffeeRado 0 Posted August 27, 2006 My new headlight came in From Germany. Just so you guys know why I bought new headlight, those of you who don't know over here in north america we have ridiculous laws and we received the worst headlight ever in our rado, so a lot of north americans buy the euro spec headlights we call them e-codes. Before I smoked them. And now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcstudent 0 Posted September 6, 2006 So let me get this straight... Your north American spec. headlights are poor, so you buy some better ones and then reduce the light output by tinting the lens. Is that right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be painting black in between the runners and the part that cover the Valve cover is going gloss black.
