Sunday Install Fest

Yes, this Sunday I'm hosting an install fest. Bring any and all aftermarket products by to my house. I'm sure that our combined knowledge will be helpful with tricky installations. Krepoort has his foglights to install. TwilightX is bringing over a laptop for me to take a look at. Blk4blk2k1 has some projectors on the way which he'll want to install. I have my air horns and a bunch of other stuff to tweak. What time would we like to set this up?

Edit: Removed my address and directions. PM me if you need to know how to get to my house in the future.

Okay, I'll turn on my phone in a second here. 3PM sounds pretty good. Havok2k1 wanted to join us as well. He said that he's available after 1PM, so 3PM sounds good. Right now we've got some slight drizzle. Hopefully that will go away by 3PM.

3PM it is then!

Here are the things that were done in case anyone is curious:

Michal (me) fixed his front driver's side speaker.
Kevin (krepoort) learned how to take off his bumper and did the DIY 7thgencivic.com sticker.
Keith assisted me with the speaker fixer upper.
Michal helped phil install Win XP onto his notebook.

And... Susan (spelling?) was surely bored, but she met my sister and they talked for a bit. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I think Phil's greatest moment was when.... well, ahhhh, he knows when it was........ [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Sorry I missed it. I got stuck in CT with my GF running her lips to all her friends. I didn't get home until 10pm last night. My projectors haven't arrived yet anyways. They were due to the UPS hub on Friday so my guess is they be delivered today.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

I just tracked my jectors... NO SUCH STREET, NOT DELIVERED;ADDRESS CORRECTED, DELIVERY RESCHEDULED WTF!!!

I get everything else there why not these, at least I will have them today... Might even install them.

Duane, sorry you weren't there man! Would've been cool to throw those bad boys in...better check with UPS and make sure they deliver that to you!

lol, Keith - so many great moments...

Thanks again to Michal for having us over! The infamous laptop is up and running...

Blk4blk2k1: If you still need my help with the bumper, then let me know. I'm willing and able. That is if and when you get those projectors. That UPS stuff sounds fishy.

Oh yeah, my cell phone works! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, I'm kinda disappointed! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] Oh well, I have to read through the papers in my plan. Maybe they mention something about getting a new phone after a certain time has passed?

Could be - if I remember correctly, CelOne was eaten up by Cingular, but I could be wrong...there are always options!

Didnt you say you had Cingular for 2 years now. If so, you could probably just sign up for a new plan and get a new phone. I think Cingular only locks you in for 2 years.

OMG, the phone lives!!!! Gotta love modern electronics!!

I tend to agree that you should be able to just to to the cell place and get a free new phone by signing up for another year.

Hey Phil, what's up with the icon??? ??? (heheheheh....)

I found out that contract ends at the end of summer. I guess I'll look around for a better deal then. Maybe I'll get a snazzier phone to boot?

As posted in a previous thread, I installed my jectors last night... Mint, I must say.. Only problem is, the PIAA's I bought for my stock head's don't fit. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG], Now I am in search of some decent bulbs for my projectors.

Hawk! If you're listening, if you still want to trade, let me know so we can figure out a way to swap...
Shipping?

sounds good, would appreciate some pics when you get some time and your opinion on how they function compared to the OEM lights. Thanks

I actually took pics yesterday, but due to lack of a digi-cam, I have to finish the roll and get them developed. Shouldn't take too long as i love to take pics of my car [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG], as for their functionality...Pretty good.. It seems like the light pattern is more widespread than the OEM lights..

Although, I'm pissed cuz my right light assembly is fogging .. i have to wait until they open to cuss somebody out.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Overall: (minus the fogging)

Hey D, I have some sealing material for that - my taillight started leaking a couple weeks ago so I bought some...at our next meet, you can throw some of that on there and that should solve your problem...
