  1. mine are going great, ride comfort is top notch and handling is awsome! could not be happier (well only way i could imagine them being better is a remote adjuster from inside the cabin!?) :P
  2. damn :( how bad is it? possible to buff it out yourself with some compound and aggressive pads? or even wet dry the area and buff it back? i think after having someone do a job like that on my car i wouldnt want them to touch it again :( which panel shop was it? (can pm me if you dont want to post on here) as im in the process of looking for a good panel shop to paint and fit my bodykit and can tick this one off the list <_<
  3. hey mate if your looking at a aftermarket dvd/gps unit, have a look at the eclipse avn range, or even something like the pioneer AVIC range? if you have a unit that isnt compatible with your steering wheel controls, you can simply purchase a PAC steering wheel control interface? hope that helps, good luck :)
  4. LOVE IT! (althou whats with the soft toy hanging below the car? :P ) after a 5 hour deatail, theres nothing better than sitting back with a cold beer whilst admiring your work. :) i cant wait to get my kit fitted and the paint out gassed so i can give mine the detail of her life! until then its simply wax once a fortnight and wash twice a week with ultimate quik wax each time!
  5. hey mate just with this one, if you were to lubricate the bushings that hold the sway bar (rear) in place, you are suggesting not to use grease? instead a dry lubricant of some type? just curious as im wanting to re grease/lubricate the bushings that hold my rear sway bar in place... was originally going to hit it with some teflon based grease??
  6. spotted a white aurion aportivo with LED strips along the bottom half of their foglight shroud's on sat night along john saunders drive heading towards innaloo.. anyone on here?
  7. nice is that a strip of LED DRL's i spot unde the chrome foglight garnish?
  8. whooo! team white perth! welcome mate and hope to see you out on a cruise! :)
  9. just another possibility.... the cover underneath the passenger side foot well (under the glove box) which covers the fuse box? mine came loose a while back and started to rattle on idle... i bit of stick on velcro helped to secure this cover and stop the rattle.. just remember to wipe the surface you stick the velcro with isopropyl to ensure it sticks well. good luck :)
  10. whooo! cant wait andy! and you now have all the detailing goodies to make her new paint job shine! :) :)
  11. Lookin hot there Jeff! i will be joining this club after i get the body kit fitted.. have some wicked plans
  12. also have up for grabs 1 set of GENUINE philips H11 4100k HID bulbs. these have a total of F-All hours of use on them, bought them, installed them, ran them for a while, decided to go back to 6000k... have been in the box ever since. Will sell these puppies for $100.00ono will post at a small fee to the buyer. or if local can meet you somewhere central. will post some pics up later on, these are the GENUINE philips HID XENON 4100k bulbs, made in Germany. great for a OEM look upgrade, these have awsome light output.
  13. damn... im sure you'll figure a way :P make sure you get out to some photoshoots this coming summer k? wanna see this german beast! :P
  14. ncie choice bro! glad to see youre staying true to team white :) and im expecting some awsome HID retrofit in the near future mate!
  15. bump it up! if your lcoal within perth and drive a aurion AND want it lowered with less body roll! 250.00 will see these red wonders in your hands :)
  16. just a fraction, but that was only because from factory they were pretty uneven... bear in mind the passenger side will be a bit higher.. on this note, have ordered some philips 4200k replacement bulbs to replace my 6000k ones.. cant wait to see the difference.. Any update on the 4300k HID Davo? yeah i had the original philips 4100k (they only do 4100 and 6000k bulbs for their hid kits) and had them in for a few weeks. overall wasnt too pleased with the light colour. output was great, but even while driving through some thunder/rain storms here in perth i didnt notice a GREAT difference over the 6000k bulbs i had previously.. in the end i ended up buying some fresh 6000k philips bulbs and will either sell or save the 4100k bulbs for my fog lights... personalli i just didnt like the colour of the 4100k in my projectors... came off as pretty yellow... but perhaps i was used to 6000k light.. i was thinking of letting them undergo their colour shift but i knew even if they shifted slightly, id still be wanting thr 6000k white still. i will say thou, i have found from my 1year+ old 6000k philips bulbs that i took out, they had shifted to a more "blue" appearance compared to the fresh 6000k i installed. so not bad, for the amount of night driving i do that i got over 1 year out of the globes, which were still going strong when i pulled them out. nice to have some fresh bulbs in thou, the colour is noticably whiter compared to a bluish light. fitted 4300k philips "patent" HID's into the high beams and have been very very impressed with the output. cant wait till later on in the year when we drive down south. pitch black country roads here i come! anyway. in conclusion: 4100k = too yellow for my liking, excellent light output, yellowish (at times even slightly orange) light output. great if all you want is visability, not overly great if you want looks as well :P 6000k = nice white light, turns from purple (on start up) to blue, then to white. excellent output, and great looks. (these are my personal opinions only, some of you may very well love the look of 4100k! :) )
  17. yeah, whats happening with this? so lonnng already :P
  18. hey Bru PlastX is a great product~! i have used it on many pccasions to maintain crystal clear headlights... best tip when using products like plastX is 1. apply using small tight circular motion (best is a meguiars applicator foam pad) 2. start off by using a fair bit of pressure, and then gradually ease off the pressure until you finish off with just a light buffing action. 3. read up on what "meguiars diminishing abrasive" technology entails.. and remember this when you use the product. 4. helps to follow up after using plstx (and wip[ing it all off) with a sealant of your choice... nxt 2.0 is a great option as it dries clear and offers prolonged protection.. (even thou plastx leaves some protection behind itself- can never have enough protection! ) 5. if you are unsure, jump onto youtube and search for plastx. meguiarsUSA have some great vid tutorials! ive recently bought some mothers plastic polish and found that to be a great product if your scratches arnt overly bad.. as such i now use plstx for harsher damage/swirls in the headlight, and plan on using mothers plastic polish once every 3-4 months to maintain a clear finish.. good luck and remember, if the scratches are bad, you may have to do a few passes...!
  19. hey max! glad to see another Perth based aurion owener here! yay! hope you can make it to a photoshoot sometime! ill be organizing them throughout the year... but atm the weather isnt too great... but as soon as the weather picks up... all YOU perthies better get your cars gleaming... cos its on!!! :)
  20. i acctually saw a white aurion sportivo here in perth who had coloured coded that middle lip/rear middle lip as well! (anyone on here??) overall i wasnt overly impressed when i saw it in real life... so i think ill be sticking to the black... still undecided about the gun metal matching to the grille thou...
  21. mate that lip kit is absolute P0RN!! definately one of-if not- my fave camry kicking around these forums. *watches thread eagerly*
  22. damn i knoew there was a reason why people would run away from me! :P liking the idea of steam cleaning.. any recommendations for a cheap cleaner thou? lol
  23. going to have the black bits. althou im tempted to maybe go for the matching gun metal thats on my grille? but most likely will start off with black... think it will be too much white if i do everything in white.... whats everyones opinion??
  24. OK. so here is a sneak peak into my next mod... (yes i know the photo is taken at night time.. again! sorry lee :P ) i know that some on here may not hold the same feeling as i do about this mod, however, i did look into purchasing via overseas for a more "unique" look, but came to the conclusion that given the costs, and uncertainty of fitment, i could easily go for a geunie kit.. and ive always had a thing for the spotivo kits.. and even more so when mated with a ducktail spoiler!!! just waiting on the side skirts now and then will be sending the kit off to the panel beaters and then later on for fitting. yeeew! oh and other small mods ive had done in the mean time.. - had the rear bumper LED lights fitted. - fitted some fresh philips 6000k bulbs into replace the exisiting bulbs... old bulbs will be moved into the fogs once i get another set of ballasts. - fitted a cheaper "philips patent" hid kit 4300k into the high beams.. WOW talk about setting the bush on fire!!
