Wifes New Twin Turbo under construction

[qcustoms]

ok so good news now is that i now have 99% of what i need to complete her car,the new Retro sculped USDM Facelift Bumper and grille arrived along with the rear bumper,k6 mirrors,the mudflaps i make for the facelift models etc,painting looks minter.. so yesterday i prepped the mudflaps with rubberiser in the wheel facing sides..

i changed the ugly green led lighting oround the interior to blue leds and pretty much today is ASSEMBLY day YAY... then off to the Muffler shop to fit the RalliArt Exhaust and the Resignator

im a certified welder dude so welding is my daily.. but my new welder has not arived and im using gasless to tack it up,BUT pipework shrinks and changes shape after every tack s oit always moves,cheaper to get someone else to do it

Tubing can be a PITA to do if you dont do it a lot. Its also more difficult in your case since that engine bay is very busy, not much room to work and everything needs to fit just right, plus you gotta join the charge pipes and transition them correctly for flow. I think its a good idea to let a pro do that.

Question for the HID Gurus please....
the cuttoff is as we know on the wrong end of the car for us here,does anyone know if its possible and how to swap them around maby or change it ??
before i try a failing attempt id love some help on if and how please

[oakrdrs187]

^^^ It is possible, you need to open the projector, usually the aftermarkets have 4 Phillips screws holding the lens to the base of it where the bulb goes (It was this way on my friends eBay projectors for his Ranger Pickup). As you pull it apart you'll notice a piece of sheet metal with a familiar cutoff pattern this is the light shield. One thing you can try is flipping the shield, or trim it on a bench grinder to the pattern desired.

See if you can get away with simply flipping it, if not fabricate one to imitate the original but with a reversed pattern.

Remember light travels in straight lines.

There was one dude with those heads that took out the cutoff shield and made one completely flat out of a aluminum sheet. IIRC about the mounting points,I think there were 2 screws on each side of the cutoff shield, you can flip them, you'll know when you take the projector apart found the pics but they are down.
