    Which GT to buy?

    What is it? I have a 1 of 142 Lamborghini so understand the feel. If you REALLY want to drive it (alot of guys say that but treat otherwise after purchase....their money, no big deal), then buy the lowest price/highest mile one....in fact wait it out for a higher miles one (mine is heavily...

    Finally Did it....Ordered a Jeep Wrangler.....With a V8

    My neighbors may have a different opinion on always using the fun button (I usually leave the house at 5:30 AM). This rig existing is reminiscent of 2004 Ford green lighting and being able to build GTs.

    Finally Did it....Ordered a Jeep Wrangler.....With a V8

    Thanks, nice to hear from you. The “giggle factor” was one of the drivers. I was getting ready to order a diesel, watching dozens of YouTube reviews. People gave wranglers with all the other motors mostly positive reviews, but everyone was all serious. When I started looking at 392 videos...

    Looking for a Paint Sample From a Broken Wheel

    Not for me.....same thing when I bought wheels for my Diablo, painted black....so had those repainted. The difference was all the information was easy to come by.

    Looking for a Paint Sample From a Broken Wheel

    Agree, next step is to acquire a bottle of touch up paint. I'll call PPG next week.

    Looking for a Paint Sample From a Broken Wheel

    Might be very helpful. DSK in BBS lingo stands for Diamond Silver with clear coat, a reasonably common paint used in the era (I found references to it in circa 2004 on wheels from other cars). Question for you, can you post a picture of the touch up paint container?

    Looking for a Paint Sample From a Broken Wheel

    Can you let me know what the shade is? Then a guy could mix in the metal flake.

    Looking for a Paint Sample From a Broken Wheel

    Oh yeah, searched the crap out of it. The only person that made a reasonable suggestion was Shelby back in the day, but I thought these new computer matching equipment could take a sample and get close enough.

    Looking for a Paint Sample From a Broken Wheel

    Would be repainting all 4 wheels

    Looking for a Paint Sample From a Broken Wheel

    Both valid suggestions thanks. Have thought about selling mine, but I think the hassle factor gets in the way…..I have to like the set I buy (not an issue if new), shipping is a pain, any anyone that buys mine has the same stuff to go through. As far as having someone use their car as a...

    Finally Did it....Ordered a Jeep Wrangler.....With a V8

    Have been wanting one since the 4 door came out in 2006 (the 2 door wasn't a good fit for our then growing family). That dream was dormant until 2019 when the retractible roof came out, started getting real vibes when the Diesel was introduced in 2020, and the fever ramped up when they put a...

    Looking for a Paint Sample From a Broken Wheel

    Might be a wild goose chase or just stupid, but when I bought my car, someone had already painted the optional wheels black. I want to throw a wrench at them whenever I pass by. After a bunch of research, no one has ever identified the paint code. So I was wondering if anyone had a wheel...

    Dash Gauges

    My favorite features are the custom color options and the shift lights.

    Any interest in an adapter to mount a speedhut speedo in an OEM dash? Did this one. Works well. Working on a tach adapter too.

    This sounds very much like what happened to my car prior to ownership. The car was jumped off by a large diesel truck and blew out most of the gauges and the odometer display. The previous owner replaced all the gauges with Speedhuts but that didn’t help with the odometer display. Shelby told...

    Dash Gauges

    Agreed, I have enough things to worry about on my cars without adding gauges to the list…..my car had Speedhuts when I bought it
