Just installed the activewerks green air intake filter on the M. No difference at all although i can hear the air intake now.

Found- three receipts, a bunch of leaves, cigarette butts, and a mini beach at the bottom of the intake box. The oem filter was surprisingly clean though.

Torgus did you ever get a new quote for those headlights from 180?

I never contacted them directly. Those prices were from their forum post. I may do them this winter but I'm having a hard time justifying the cost, even if I don't go all out.

Yeah I mean I've customized and opened up at least 10-12 pairs of headlights on Maximas in the past. Looks to be about the same procedure. I'm just paranoid about ruining expensive headlights...

Yeah the cost thing is my issue. I can buy a nice aquamist + howerton engineering dual tank w/ baffle meth set up and inlets for less than the headlights. Other people see the headlights not me. Where as inlets + meth should be good for 30whp or more...decisions decisions.

Don't go to Karma on a Friday. It was packed today.

That's funny, I was there from around 12:15 to 1 sitting right by the Sushi bar. So you were the ones I was cursing out for taking all the coconut shrimp and teriyaki beef

totally agtree with you on that.. pita to ruin a 1000$ headlight versus all the other headlights i've messed with.

zero2sixtyZ · 10-05-2015, 09:06 AM

I'd probably go with a professional on the headlights regardless. If I am doing any painting to the visible housing surfaces, I would want the paint applied by a body shop. Spray can will never look as good. At that point, I'd only be saving a couple hundred and still risking an expensive headlight.

From this weekend. More wrenching with Island Road

Installed Whiteline subframe inserts, Stoptech slotted rotors and Akebono Euro pads.
