My car is red with black stripes, though the picture looks kind of orange for some reason.

When you pull up the Cardomain page, you have to type b1tchin where there are *****. This website blocks out the swear word in my board name :rolleyes:

Here's mine:

Please don't take your stripes all the way down the rear bumper. That, and make sure whatever stripes you get are rounded at the corners on the ends. That's the only thing I'd change about mine. Well, that and maybe get the pin stripe wider than 1/8". 1/4" seems to work really well. I've got more pictures up at my site http://www.cardomain.com/id/silvachris1

/\ hey i was going through your site and was wondering how you hooked up your lights so that they all light up when you turn on your brights.
thanks

To get the high beams and low beams to work when the highs are turned on, you gotta make 1 connection under your dash. I'll give you the rundown on it, but there's a writeup somewhere online. Look for Highbeam mod, it might be on www.installuniversity.com
Remove the 4 phillips head screws from the plastic cover under the steering column. Next, remove the cover and place it somewhere safe. Then, you'll see a triangular bracket below the steering column held in place with 2 13mm nuts (I think). just move that bracket to the side somewhere, there might be some wires cliped to it, but it's safe to let it dangle. Here's where things get tricky cause visibility is low, you might need a flash light. Start looking for a white plastic looking switch with a brown plug I think. There's some wires going into it, should be near the base of the column. Click the high beam stalk a few times and you'll see a rod moving on the side of the column, it goes into that switch. You'll know it when you see it. Press the black tabs in and pull the plug out. Connect the large tan wire and the yellow wire. Don't cut them, they have to connect to the switch, you just want them to connect to each other. Use your imagination here, it doesn't matter what you connect em with, just connect em somehow. Maybe a vampire clip? That's how you get the highs/lows to work together on the high setting. Test it out, and then put everything back together.

Now for the foglights. I copy/pasted this from ls1tech.com cause I don't feel like trying to explain in my own words.
---------------------------------------------
Going into the back of the fog switch there is a green wire, cut it. Insulate the car side as it will no longer will be needed and does go hot when the high beams are on. Add a little wire to the switch side of the green wire and ground under one of the radio mount bolts. Put the switch and radio trim back together. You're done inside the car. Go under the hood, pull up the relay box with the fan and fog relays in it. Going into the bottom of the fog relay is the same green wire, cut it. Extend the relay side about 8" with black wire and ground it. I used the ground screw right next to the relay box, on the strut tower. Insulate the car side of the cut wire as it goes hot with the high beams. Put everything back together and you are done.
------------------------------------------------
I didn't do the part with the fog light switch, I just did the part at the fuse box under the hood. The only difference I can gather is that the you can't turn the fog lights off while the high beams are on, with my way. I may get around to fixing that one day, but there ya go.

silvachris1.... i did the high beam conversion tht you posted about and i love it. it took me like 20 minutes. Worked right away. NOW i did the fog light thing too but that didn't go so well. after you snipped the green wire under the fuse box what do you do with it, just leave it? just curious!!!

[silvachris1]

You gotta ground the wire somewhere. Make sure you ground the part that's coming out of the fuse box, not the part that goes into the wiring harness. Ground the part coming out of the box, and tape up the part that's still in the harness. I can take a pic for ya if you need me too, cause my description doesn't seem to clear to me.

Oh, ground the wire to the bolt near the fuse boxes. There is another ground wire there, I just put my ground there.
