    I read somewhere about upgrading the wires to the alternator in some hot rodding article, the wire just bypasses the factory wire in the harness. It improved my charging and my lights did not dim as bad after upgrading the wire.
    To me it helped out when I was running the stock alternator

    Got this Sunroof visor from frantik
    Had to clean off old pinstripe tape off of it and polish it the best I could without going the wet sanding route.



    Did a little more cleaning and sprayed nightshades on the inside to darken it up.
    Just have to wait for it to dry.

    Soon, My carpel tunnel is acting up and I'm a little in pain at the moment.
    I can tell you this, the front and back are level.
    I went from a 3 finger gap to barely a 2 finger gap

    looks good. aparently you can go lower by removing the brake line volder and re notching the shock but i wouldnt ever do that.

    My car seems to be lower in the rear than the front with the springs i got for my gf's car.
