'96 RS Build Thread
#11
Stalked my buddy at his work the other day (has the blue f150, which is always uber clean)
I then removed the chrome clear lenses from the back and replaced with the smoked pieces
A few hours ago at work in the parking garage. the ride height of the front is however giving me nose bleeds.
I evidently had a stoopid moment, not once, but twice while ordering lenses for the car. the chrome/clear pieces that have been since removed from the rear, included 98-02 front lenses, as well as the smoked pieces i ordered too. Yay, I'm collecting 4th gen lenses now... *ack*
Does ANYONE make the 94-97 front signal lenses in black w/o the amber reflector? I'm having a bish of a time locating such?
Also neglected to research enough that when I placed my order through founder's that the V8 Strut bar will NOT fit the v6 cars ahhh derrr. (Again, I'm collecting parts.)
Placed an order today through BMR for their V6 strut bar, lower rear relocation brackets and panhard. Next will be to purchase lowering springs / shocks / struts.
Non-RS build related, but did some long overdue detailing on the rear of the wife's equinox, the drums were nasty looking. attacking the front calipers next (we are selling the car soon and want it to look "it's sunday best" for any potential buyer

lol very true.
I put in the front turn signal lenses and the conversion housings w/9006's from eurolight last night.
Also put in the billet steering wheel and slid in the yofab sun blockers as I'll call them for days I dont want get blasted in the head with the sun.
no pics of the turn signal lights or headlights yet (but they are bright, still may put a set of HID's in it)
