Burgundy Bullet - Retrofit Pics and the End of the Bullet



Re: Burgundy Bullet - No Roof Rails :( (Random Update)

Soooo basically not exactly sure what happened but long story short the guy that I bought the roof rails from never sent them and stopped responding to me so I filled a claim with PayPal and they sided with me so I got the money back. Sad that I won't be seeing my car with roof rails any time soon but whatever. Got new foglights, 2 filler plates, retractable plate holder, LED strips for interior, and the car is in the shop again getting a power steering hose replaced and the oil sending unit. Looking forward to getting it back.

In other news I'm working on selling the headlights and foglights with the halo rings in them. Have an interested buyer already so hoping they go fast!

One more sad little update is that the lowering is going to have to wait because I'm running low on money and would like to get a cycle sooooo that means I have to stop spending money on the car. Hopefully will be doing some stuff to the car over spring break and throwing some pictures up in the near future! Will try to keep you all posted.

On the positive side 2 weeks ago me and my engineering club took first place in the Rube Goldberg contest and regionals in Toledo, OH so I'm excited to be headed to Columbus, OH on March 30. :D

Re: Burgundy Bullet - Pics of Goodies & LED interior

I have had an LED interior since sometime last June I believe but always forgot to post up pictures of it. Yes it is bright as fvck but I love it.

Got myself some mirrors that I have a few ideas for.

Heres the Corvette manual retracting license plate holder.

Got myself some red LED strips to go in the front footwells that I will have on while I'm driving because then there will be a little bit of light.

Here is the front filler plate and the projector fogs that I just got. I am super pumped to get those in and working.

Might be doing some of this work next week when I have spring break. We will see.
 


Re: Burgundy Bullet - Pics of Goodies & LED interior

Thanks man! The LEDs were just off of Ebay. Thought I was going to have a lot of trouble with them being cheap and all but so far so good. I plan on retrofitting a new set of headlights this summer so itll match the projector fogs nicely.
 
Re: Burgundy Bullet - Pics of Goodies & LED interior

To be honest I can't even remember the brand. They are not the P6 Projector Fogs I was originally going to get. I was slightly concerned with the quality to begin with but after inspecting them they look more durable/ better built than I thought.
 


Re: Burgundy Bullet - Pics of Goodies & LED interior

Alright. I plan on installing that next week when I have break so I will try to post up pics right away!
 
Re: Burgundy Bullet - Crappy Cell pics of the goodies installed

So I got all the stuff installed. First off I would like to apologise for the crappy cell pics. Cant find the charger for my camera. The projector fogs were a pain because I had to extend the exisiting wiring for the light and the ring to one side because it was way to short. Plus they were origionally too big to even fit in the fog light hole so I had to cut them down a little bit to get them in. After I got them in I had to roughly measure where I had to put a screw through. Somehow I got the left side to be pretty straight but the right one isnt quite there. lol. Shouldnt be too hard to fix now. Anyways picture time!


I'll start off with the retracable plate thingy and my filler plate with reflective black lettering.
Here you see the plate.

And now you dont. Its just like a game of peek-a-boo with a baby.

Here is a pic of the projector fogs on. (Probably could have gotten a better pic but it was cold and I wanted to go inside. lol)

Here are the colors with the halo rings. There are 7 colors and then there is a setting where it cycles through all the colors. Its kind of cool. They are LED so you cant see them during the day but at night they are pretty stellar. Probably won't use that part much.

Red LED floor lights that are hooked up to 2 switches. One for backseats and one for frontseats. Not necessary but I like to be able to shut them off if people complain. lol

AND last but not least the Pontiac Logo puddle light door projector thingymajiggers. At first I wasnt sure if I was going to like them but they definitly have grown on me. (This was taken on a cracked cement floor so thats why it looks a little messed up)

I will keep looking for my charger so I can get some better pics of things for now but for the time being I hope this suffices!
