Between the grill, wheels and rear end, I think you've got the best looking gen 4.1 right now. No disrespect to bpd and others...SHOnUup said:Perfect, I like those kinda wordsWilson said:
It's paint.

Did you paint the chrome bar yourself or did a shop do it? If DIY, did you remove it first? And if so, was it difficult to do? Mine is dipped right now, but I've been wanting to paint.
Wilson
Thx guys. The look is finally close to complete.
Wilson, you are too kind my friend ^-^
The chrome bar was Plasti-dipped last year while still on car. Taped it off nice and tight and then taped a blanket of newspaper & such over the rear end. Actually did the stock taillights at same time then. The chrome strip has held up very well, where as the tailights thin chrome had areas where it was starting to peel up.
The taillights were painted along with the center caps by the same guy who did my hydrographics.

Lol,That's pretty good, it will prob work only once though.
How hard were they to remove? Was the chrome spear in place durning removal/installation?
I would think you would have to bend it slightly outward to install.
Pretty easy. Toughest part was removing center of 3 bulbs from the surround(outer lights)...that damn bulb didn't want to spin without a set of pliers.glock-coma said:
Had to remove inside liner on trunk lid to access the inners. 2 nuts(10 mm) each light and that chrome strip has a tab to push out on the end. With that released it slides out pretty easy with very little need to bend chrome strip.
1/4 panel ones(outers) real easy, 2 clips and pull down liner, 3 nuts (11mm deep well) and done...besides that bulb

Nice. I might attempt this soon.
The red plasti-dip I put on the chrome last year is starting to peel a little.

Using a Samsung 880z. Last of the thin and powerful imo. All the newest ones use ultra book version of the i7 which are gutless, running lower clock speeds and do not offer hyperthreading. As well as not offer dedicated graphics.SHOdded said:
I'm using an ssd and 16gb of ram as well. Seems to produce a zero lag workspace for datalogs now.

Not a bad idea but I don't think livelink is pushing that much data. When I'm away from home I like to edit video in PP and I usually use all of my ram doing that.FoMoCoSHO said:
