Ok guys, heard it done, seen people do it... What do we use paint or dye? And what type of procedure do I use when cleaning them? I assume I should use an alcohol to clean all the oil and grease off the piece, then paint or dye it and seal it with a spray on clear coat of some kind. Any tips?

I just bought an ABS Leather Interior kit, and I am considering pulling the interior out and trying to do it myself...however the only thing that bothers me is making sure the leather is tight around the seats. Most people are asking $400 to install it WITH me removing the interior... :( But I...

Normally as most of my friends know I am a very avid and deep lover of our cars, but in the last three weeks, I have become a very upset person. First off my car leaves me stranded on I 45 in between Dallas and Houston while I was going to see my dying grandfather in the hospital, I sat on the...

Ok, instead of having a bezel and two headlights, why not make a single unit that is all together, as in, there is a clear or smoked front peice so you never have to clean your headlamps and they won't get wet because the bezel is one piece corner lamps and all, only problem I see..is headlamp...

Car will not shift...started going last night, and for a long time now it felt as if the car wasn't putting power to the ground and the shifts were very hard just kinda lazy, I thought it to be the stall... Well, Tranny was rebuilt all stock about a year and a half ago, good mechanic rebuilt it...

Ok, how do I lean the car out while cruising to maximize fuel conservation? Do you just drop the static fuel pressure? Or does that have no bearing on gas consumption? I am currently running 37 PSI static with MSD 50s, Dual Alky Kit with Rubbing Alcohol 70%, no knock, 21 PSI, O2s 800-810...

I'm pretty sure it is the compressor...at first I thought it was a fan, because it sounds like a little brrrring noise almost like if a fan were on and it touched something. This only happens when I have the AC on, when the heater or anything else is on, it is fine. And this only happens when...

We just moved into town and have recently finished getting our new place setup. It's Friday night, p(l)ayday at that, so we hop into the GN to head out for food. Eventually we ended up at a local icehouse. We were waiting on the patio for our pizza (which turned out to be great) when we...
