[Zeuceone]

[07NHBCivicSi]

ohh. so they are kind of like the ones you buy from corsport? what part of Cali do you live in?

[Zeuceone]

im in the inland empire. well not like those but look for something close to it.

[07NHBCivicSi]

ohh, i gotcha. hope you find something and post pics of it if/when you do it. If I have time tomorrow I will put the rubber ones in and see if it improved anything. Inland Empire is South Cali right?

[Zeuceone]

Im back. Steve you didnt help me put them on. You put them on yourself while I stood there checking out the girls that came out of the tanning saloon. haha. Thanks alot though. I like how it looks now. Its different. I dont know if it helps cool it. I havent really checked after driving but i could see a little fog forming at the bottom of the windshield so i guess the heat does get out. Again thank you for your hard work. haha j/k you suck.

haha, a tanning saloon

Definitions of saloon on the Web:

* barroom: a room or establishment where alcoholic drinks are served over a counter; "he drowned his sorrows in whiskey at the bar"

some crappy cell pics of the spacers but here they are....

[DeePStr33tzOfTn]

you can tell you rushed when you painted them cuz i did the same thing lol

[0720Steve]

nice job.

[FG2uner]

they look real nice, its just bad cam phone quality...

[0720Steve]

to anyone who did or does this....check the bolts a couple times. much like torquing your wheels. just double check them. i have done it a couple times and put just a little more on them. checked them today and they are good. don't see them needing any more tightening anytime soon, but i will check again in the future just to make sure they are on good. and i don't see loctite being necessary.

I will do that in the morning I put lock tite so hopefully that helped a lot.

[jackolee]

whats lock-tite?

[0720Steve]

gunk you toss on stuff like bolts to seal it. many uses, but can be used on bolts to keep them "locked"....there is a more permanent type, and then a breakable kind....and other kinds for uses like marine and such.

[jackolee]

oic i understand now

[0720Steve]

what do you think webby?

lol, I love lock-tite. I just hate when I use the "permenant" one and the heads break off and i have to drill and tap to get the other part of the bolt or screw out.
