That's exactly what I'm afraid of and no matter where you go, you run that risk. I have a guy in mind, and before I give him the keys I'm going to interview him and find out exactly what his experience his. I really really want this done right the first time.

For the DIC, you can try this.

And I am pretty sure that the climate controll bulbs will need to be de-soldered and new ones soldered in. I had a portion of my HVAC bulbs burn out last night. What is weird with GM lighting, you can sometimes smack in the are of the burn out bulb and it will light back up, and last for a long time. Don't ask me why this works, but mine came back on after a good whack.
Yours are probably burnt out because of the shock they took from someone jumping in and ripping at stuff.
Question for you. My exhaust rotted out (love the MN salty roads), the resonator has a nickel size hole in it, makes my car sound crappy. Do you have aftermarket exhaust? I was thinking about doing 2.5 inch engine back, with a cat of course, and then split off after the cat to dual mufflers (probably a stock sound), and I was looking for some tips like yours. What type are they? |
I love what you did with the LED's on the switch, that is just cool. Heck, I'll ship mine up to you, have you do the LED swap and then send it back!
You know, if you just collected factory switches and sold them as "LED upgraded," I'd bet you'd turn some kind of a profit from losers like me!
I should be hearing back from the insurance tomorrow as to what they're going to do. I've already contacted Morad and if the insurance falls through, I won't be set back too horribly. And if I get lucky and they just replace it all for me, then all the better.
As for the exhaust I went with 2.5" stainless pipe - cat back with resonator delete and I have been really pleased with it. I wish I would've done the U-bend delete at the time, but I didn't really know about it when I did the exhaust.
My mufflers are just cheapies I got off ebay. They're stainless steel dual tipped Otto mufflers and while they're obviously nothing to brag about, I really have no complaints with them. They sound and look good despite the fact I have done a horrible job of keeping them clean and polished.
You remember how I put those vents in my bumper? Well one of my "some day" projects when I get a garage is to make a whole new bumper where I will get a Corvette muffler and tips and have them come up through the middle of the bumper. So just imagine the little slots in the rear bumper being moved to the center and combined to one big slot where the four tips would be. It might be a little much so I'm going to have my sis do some photoshopping before I actually start any work on it to make sure it doesn't look stupid.
