Drill some holes in your exhaust

Gas bonnet struts installed today




That yellow part was suppose to be painted to but didn't know there was a red cover over it so will get to it soon lol...

also your thoughts on eyelids on the fto? is it to stoned or to girlish?

Not a fan myself, just the way its too obvious its a strip sitting there - maybe if it was one piece with the bonnet or something.
Ive always wondered what itd look like if a custom bonnet was made to come down more/modify the fender so you can stick in some good looking lights, maybe something like the new lancer lights... Im sure with enough money itd be easy enough.

Yeah also wondered that myself as well but gotta probably spend some serious money or if your skilled enough like most of you guys are probably could pull it off yourselves

I don't like eyelids myself but they blend in the ends of your LED's on the bottom half of your lights.
So....
They look good on your car......

Nice! i was going to do the bonnet struts on my car too.. where did you get them from and more pics of the mounting points?

there you go phil, your next photoshop assignment - put late model lancer lights on an fto!

Here you go, one with the bonnet, just try to ignore the front bumper....




but on topic, I love the gas struts!!

nah that looks horrible, im talking about the bonnet to match the lights, not just overhang them
So, put in the lancer lights, then work panels around them

I followed Vectose Mounting points which you can find here http://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.ph ... bonnet+gas instead of drilling into the actual car and using blind rivets which would be better (what bennoz did viewtopic.php?f=22&t=15644&start=1080) but this method was just easier going with stock holes and drilling into the strut mount itself.

and you can just get the struts of ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/universal-ca ... 333wt_1064

Its sad to see another FTO butchered
Atleast its not in Australia

Brake disc and pads arrive from Camskill



Before i install the brake disc which way a they suppose to be going the grooves and drill holes

is this correct? #1 http://www.dba.com.au/wp-content/upload ... 0_pic1.jpg

or this one? #2 http://www.racingbrake.com/v/vspfiles/i ... on_web.jpg

The top of the slots should be at the front I believe.

Edit: It seems that apparently they can go either way depending. Go off the manufacturer's recommendation. There should be a sticker somewhere.

Just wait for Vectose to roll through here.. 99% sure he said one of dstocks' was the wrong way and it was supposed to be top of the slot to the front

I never had a look at dstocks' rotors, I believe he was telling us that his rotors are identical on each side.
