really?? ... but wont the letters lose the adhesive when its wet ????
yer it wont be as permanent - but it stays on
ive got a sticker atm that is just a vinyl and it stays on - no adhesive
and it think once ur one with adhesive dries itll be sweet
Anyone else wanna confirm?
-
I got mine on. off center and not straight. and to top it off there are bubbles underneath... hrmm
guys use soapy water underneath before u put them on !!!!
then u can iron out the bubbles AND move it to the right spot without fudging it!
lol
its not that type of sticker ... this is on the outside ...
iniff - ... hmm maybe I also forgot to mention . before peeling anything off .... I used sticky tape to find the right position ... so I could stand back and have a look ... once you find the right position ... then I used some chalk to draw the line where i wanted it ..
then peel and stick according to the line ...
and use a credit card for bubbles ... take your time ..
sorry for not telling earlier .. i knew I forgot to post something ... though I already did it ...
yer i know its on the outside.. same rule applies
ever watched them apply window tint? its basically a sheet of darkened plastic with adhesive
they spray the window with soapy water then squeegee it out. the adhesive dries and bonds to the window .. just leave it in the sun after ur done or use a hairdryer - but dont leave the hairdryer on too long or the sticker will shrink and curl
-
they are but they look ugly In my own opinion...
then again every person have diferent taste :D
i agree - im not a fan of the altezzas
the dark looking ones are pretty cool tho.
But i like the jap standard style ones best (one with the lines)

mate getting around the immobolisher is easy , just get are ecu from the us,make sure u get 00, 01 model as it has are higher rpm(8400) problem solved, wiring shouldn,t be that hard, since the echo has vvti, so it will be missing the wires for the all important lift, so probably end up using the echo harness, but im finding it hard to believe u got are 2zz with gearbox for 2500, when i was looking for mine, u couldn't touch it under 4k just for engine, and who is doing the install for 4k(got are name of the shop and number),1 week yeah right,i bet money on it, just waiting for custom stuff to come will pass that.
anyway gl
Looks like not much room to spare in that echo:)
yer these things always take longer and cost more !

blow the exhaust on it for a bit to warm the plastic up and cut it with a Stanley knife...
use one of those thin coping saws .. i think its called coping saw ... it looks like a letter D with a thin blade inside and its serrated .. it allows u to cut smooth shapes rather than straight lines... use wet and dry sandpaper to sand back any rough bits afterwards
and yes.. leave ur car exhaust blowing for a while to heat the plastic!
Hope that helps

im no motor sparky! so i might need help on installation! im keen Dan!
PAID 8:40am
I pm'ed you the details of where i want it shipped mate. For the 6000K kit for my rolla.
Cheers
PS - Corzza this kit is simple to install its plug n play. Should take 15mins for a newbie
-
yep, autobarn sell it all. Also get some prepsol to clean the surface of everything.
if its gonna cost close to $100 might as well get them done professionally.
nah coz if that goes well then ill do my front undergarnish as well
-
yep, it's easy to do. Just remember the finish you get will come down to your prep work.
You can buy custom-mix spray packs from autobarn for $26ea, one will do a set of mudflaps easily. I've done a whole bumper with two of them a couple of years ago.
Get the paint guys to put some flex-add into the paint so it had a bit of flex in it and wont crack, and use plastic bumper primer to prime the mudflaps after scuffing them with the scotch-brite pads or 800 grit wet/dry.
I give them a couple of coats of bumper prime then rub them back lightly with the 800 wet/dry so the colour coat can key properly to the smooth primer. After a couple of coats of the colour, I then give 5 or 6 coats of clear... Should turn out very nice. Just dont put the colour on too thick like pippy ;)
Sweet thanks man
Autobarn sell all that stuff right? i might as well give it a go
-
Would you have an instruction book you can post?
Not sure where that black box in the picture is susposed to connect.
When you say "There's 1 set of H4, and 1 set of H7's" does that mean for each pack that is sent out?
Anyone had experience with these Techone kits before I go and buy one?
Cheers
PM me if its negative:)

Mah gawd Habib! that price sounds goooddd,,, :o

Better than the other group buy ones? :)
If so I will put name down for 6000K ta

4800K is optimum temp for HID

any chance of a photo that does a bit more justice to the tints? i dont really follow what u mean with this metalised thing
the tint is coloured by using metal instead of black dye. So it looks slightly reflective - not mirror tint tho.
When you go to get your tints done the guy has all the tints on his Maloo - u can check em out to see which u like best.
-
illegal would i be correct. Had much trouble with the good guys about it?
thanks for the number mate
yup illegal - i got metalised so its not noticeable that its really dark
no trouble from pigs - but i can see out of it with no dramas.. and at night its clear too
35% is the legal limit
