Talking New (stock) *** and some other goodies

Well, I just recently had my rear bumper and exhaust replaced because of an accident, so here's a pic of the before, and a bunch of the after.

My few mods are listed in my sig. Sorry for the dark pics! This weekend I'm going camping up in the mountains so hopefully I'll get some better ones with nice, scenic backgrounds.

Hey thanks, Morgan

Those bulbs were actually pretty cheap - $40 CDN shipped for 4 of them from Ebay. Next, I gotta de-yellowitize my fogs

Glad to see you've still got your winter tires on considering you're going camping in the mountains and we just got snow again today.

True, but look at the forecast!

Of course who the heck knows if it'll actually be like that, the way the weather changes around here

How the heck did you get at those darn driving lights to replace the bulbs? I read about removing the ECU cover and whatnot, but I'm still having a hard time.
The moron who designed these to be this hard to access should replace all the bulbs on every single car...

Yeah, you need to remove the ECU and battery cover to get to the passenger side light. The driver side is much easier - you don't have to remove anything.

It also helps if you have a friend to shine a flashlight through the front of the light opening when you're trying to put it back in...that's the hardest part. Small hands would help too! I wasn't so lucky

Oh I'm definitely not planning on replacing them until at least the end of April! I trust all you long-time Calgarians :D

Yep, near Golden This time I'm only going to Kananaskis so I should be ok

Nope, sorry - but I think that might be a quite a bit tougher.

How am I supposed to recognize your 8 now with out the battle damage? Heh heh. I guess it'll be from the bright *** DRL and the steelies.

Yea, I'm keeping my winters on until end of April. Was going to do it last weekend but got too lazy.
