I rarely go on trails anyways (too far of a drive to go regularly) and i drive at night all the time. So I'd rather save the space on my bumper for lights i can actually use lol. Dunno what I'm gonna do with the blue lights, might just mount them under the dash and add in a resistor to make them dim.

Took it for a test drive after DieselD turned me on to the QuickFix thread (read the first post, and then this comment). Tranny shifts much better. Magic.

The red was free. So it's what I went with. Paint is cheap. I can repaint them again. The aluminum couldn't clean up nice. Had a yellowish haze to it with black paint stuck in all the nicks.

That's Wat you think at a used car dealership they had acid they sprayed on and just sprayed it off with water and they looked brand new no matter how nasty they was

Still painted, will still chip and scratch. Won't shine like metal.


OP, if you couldn't clean them, what did you do to prep for paint?
