It's no less legal than yellow headlights, but nobody will confuse yellow lights for tail lights.

Yes...day or night that is a traffic ticket coming your way..they don't have to be used to get a citation...having them is intent.
Truly, someone not paying attn. (lots of folks) might be momentarily confused and think you are going when you are coming.
Bad juju.

If it rides on a trailer to the race track then it's fine i've seen plenty like that at the track. if you drive on the road then obviously no. They get particularly pissed off if you choose blue.

Today was 80 and overcast - finally a respite from the heat.

Here is the good the bad and the ugly for the day.

The Good:
Put in my battery disconnect and kill switch.




Successfully put new vent gaskets in the trunk to try to get more flow in cabin and less in trunk.


The Bad:

Attempted unsuccessfully to get this cover to fit my mounting points.



And the truly Ugly:

This really bothers me...any idea how to clean all of this hard tar like substance off? Any idea why it might be there or what sins it is covering? Do these need to be repaired or replaced? What should they look like? Photo?




Any and all thoughts are welcome

Queen feeling good.

Looks pretty though..

I don't think there is any easy way to get all that crap off the adjustment plates. I had to scrape and pick and scrape and pick.....until I got enough off for the alignment guys to be able to get in there. I can't say why its like that but it seems most cars have that gunk there. As for what it's hiding, I hope nothing. That would not be a good place for rust and corrosion.

Keep on keepin on Queenie!

To avoid any issues with people thinking your red front lights are rear lights , I suggest you drive everywhere sideways .

I did that a few times when I lived in Cleveland during ice storms....not so fun.

[ian c2]

It’s only not fun when you didn’t mean to do it ...


Well , even then it can be fun.

What's filling the hole beneath the central locking indicator on the center console?

[SuperMarioCar]

ok, but the question is: WHY ?

Cool car! You've inspired me to purple my Bjarney's interior.

It is a marine style volt meter and USB port.
Testing whether I like the racing pedals.
Unsure of where I am mounting my new battery kill (eject) button.

Lol....why Not? Because it is mine and I like customizing it. Frogger likes her red accents.

Amazon has them with red blue or white led numbers.

That pedal looks very slippy ...

You’d be better off buying something with rubber inserts , then strip down - do your art - clear coat , and reassemble ...

Add a personal touch with perfect color , and safer too

Thanks Ian-agree!
I have the rubber inserts for the holes, but was testing whether I liked the look and color first before I attached it with screws and filled in rubber dots.

Ah, nice. I've been looking for ideas on how to deal with that hole. The main problem I have is things falling in tend to get trapped.

I also like the clean white Converse.

[echecsqueen]

Thanks. The space is not big enough for much and things get lost back there. I like having a volt meter and dual usb port.

Todays projects:
Crafted fasteners for the fresh air blower cover.




And cut some copper tubing to run my kill switch pull.

Did you buy some p-clips ?
