Hmmmm, getting condensation forming inside the tail-lights. I've had a look and used some duct-tape to make a temporary seal but to no avail. Any ideas?
I'll get a pic up when i can.

Not sealed properly. See if they have warranty and get them replaced. Common with the eBay knock off lights.

Maybe but it wouldn't probably look good. You only got them a little while ago I would be talking to the company you got them from.

I bought them 2nd hand off the 'bay, so there's likely little I could do :l

Well I guess now you know why they were for sale. Could try reseal it. Not like it's something you will see every day.

I'll give it a crack on the weekend, along with painting the front air-con vents.

edit: should be fixed :)

G'day guys, it's been a while and i've got a few updates.
Firstly, some interior stuff. I've reverted back to a black Dash as the silver paint job was really starting to irk me. My original intentions were to emulate Piano Black, i thought clear coat would give that nice glossy finish. Nah!
It's quite coarse to the touch, but it's different, so I don't mind it...for now. In addition, the cluster was ripped open to paint the instrument surround silver. Looks baus!

Also just a sneaky interior shot.

Now to the juicy stuff. I scored a Lukey 2.5" catback (straight pipe) from gumtree for $80, not in the best shape but it certainly does the job. There's a bit of drone around the 3K rev range, but this was expected. Should be getting a tip put on in next couple of weeks.

Off with the old...

One last thing...
Pedders lowered springs and sportryder rear shocks, picked up for $120. Haven't got the compressors to fit them yet, but eagerly looking forward to it.
