Mike - I did the plasti on my emblems too, so I know what you mean. On the caps, I was going to either tape off everything but the gold and spray it, or...color it w/ black paint marker as a last resort. They're so small, I don't really want to spend an hour cutting out tape to piece it around the bow tie before spraying.

 

I'll report back how it goes, when I'm able to do it (maybe not tonight).

What worked best for me when I debadged my 14 was the following: heat gun on low setting, dental floss and an eraser wheel on a power drill. It cleaned it up really nice, but make sure you dont over heat with the heat gun and make sure you dont press to hard in one spot with the eraser wheel, ive hear of people burning the paint/clear coat. I think this is the fastest safest way to get the 3M tape off.

I have completed my Dash Cam install: running a BlueSkysea G1

 

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-HD1080P-G1W-Novatek/dp/B00J2OVN74/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405015602&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=Blueskysea+g1

 

which is relatively cheap and straight forward. I ran the power to the 120 volt plug on the dash and tucked the power wire up under the headliner, behind the pillar post and under the dash for a nice clean look. The camera powers on with the ignition and turns off when I shut the motor down, so I couldn't ask for more. Cheap insurance if a jerk pulls out in front of me or other mishaps as they occur.

I have the same one lol, works great and good quality. Haven't had time to run the wire through the pillar and headliner so I just have it hanging on there lol. Can you show me which wires you Wired it into on the ignition.

Daytime shot. I'll do night time later. attachicon.gif20140708_111653.jpgattachicon.gif20140708_111704.jpg

Looking for those night shots! Particularly of the light output against a wall if you could

Really didn't wire into existing wiring, but used an adapter that most of us have for charging our cell phones. The ones that you plug the USB into and then plug into the wall... I used this one from my Kindle because the USB plugs into the bottom of the adapter. I zip tied the wire under the dash, ran it over to the driver side and up the A pillar.

got the updated mounts for the Du-ha today. Can already tell these will solve the movement issue I had. A much better set up. :D

Corwest, as soon as I can. Honestly, I haven't had a chance with family members visiting and not driving at night. I haven't forgotten you, buddy.

What camera are you using for your dash cam block8head?

 

I agree that the guy in the Grand Am was not paying attention but your dash cam shows how they don't have the cross street lights properly masked. On a nasty rainy or snowy night a lesser being could make a fatal mistake!

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
