ps i chucked a before photo on as well

also a question for you all i have a wierd clicking noise coming from my front left strut when you turn or even very lightly wiggle the steering is very loud and annoying any idea what it might be very loud inside and outside the car ( i jacked it up and took the wheel of the other day wiggled the spring in its seat and seemed to quiet it down for 2 or 3 days then back to normal)

was it hard putting the chrome around the windows?

[tyrone]

chrome is the easiest job you can do to a car took no joke 5 minutes to do just bought 2 rolls of chrome stripping from super cheap or autobarn $19.99 a roll just peel the backing off and stick

[todde4]

owk too easy.

got any more pics?

[tyrone]

i posted the new pic in the first post for ya

[todde4]

owww **** yeah!

looks heaps good.

ill do my strip tomorrow haha.

i honestly think it looks better than the real stuff just make sure you get the right packet there is heaps of different sizes the one you use is the smallest one and also the cheapest one and it has to have a flat back they also sell one that has a lip on the back that you wont see with out looking very carefully (i should know i got one normal and one with the lip so had to go back and change it lol)

[todde4]

owk thanks,

ill do it over the w.e and ill let ya know how i get on.

so just to be sure which bit do you stick the chrome onto?

[tyrone]

the rubber that goes up and around the door but not on the door itself very str8 forward and the rubber strips that go down the door i stuck mine in the middle of the door strip but im prity sure factory it goes down the bottom ill post some close up pics if you need them just let me know

wow that didnt make much sence hope you can understand it lol

how does the chrome "bend" around corners and stuff??? isnt it just a long straight roll

[tyrone]

it is acually quite flexible it bends around the slight angle of the vy easy enough

so far so good had the chrome on there for like 2 month now no problems what so ever so far and not with water either as i wash the car 2 to 3 times a week at the car wash using the high pressure

looks sweet man what springs have you got in it?

1 and half inch lowered front 3 inch lowered rear not sure what springs they are brother had them laying around so i stuck them in
