LoJac963's Deuce Build
enjoy
This is how she sat at the dealership the night I went to test drive. Bought the 2 that night after a long debate at the dealership regarding the trade in of my 06 GTO.
First thing I couldn't stand were the gigantic chrome nerf bars. Did some research on options and fell in love with the U-steps. Finally found a set for a great price. They were pretty beat up so I had them chemically stripped and PC'ed. Insanely better than those huge chrome nerfs.
Next was the DRL's change to LED's. The SMD's are quite a bit brighter than the stock bulbs and look a hell of a lot better.
Something I've always done is change over the interior to LED. Much brighter, crisper light.
After that I put in a Lev-o-Gage just for fun.
Next on the list was a Volant air box. I couldn't stand how much of a PITA it was to take the stock lid off so I opted for a Volant.
Pic of the silicone coupers and t-bolt clamps I used. The Volant adapter included is worthless.

After doing the fuel door I figured I might as well do the rims also. Get rid of all that chrome in one go!
Next I put in the CF look dash pieces.
Up next......the roof rack

Here are the 2 rear lights installed
Now onto the bigger project. I didn't like the idea of only 1 light in each section on the front of the rack so I opted to make my own double light brackets.
Started with a 1" x 4' piece of aluminum stock
Cut that down into 12" sections
After quite a bit of cutting, filing, drilling and threading we went from this
To this
Here is one of the brackets painted and ready for the rack.

One switch runs the center 4 lights, one switch runs the outside 4 lights and the far switch runs the 2 rear lights.
Switches
Pics of the wiring for everything:
The wiring runs through the side marker trim down through the outside window trim, through the cowel cover down next to the side vents and into the engine compartment.
Center 4 lights on:
Outside 4 lights on:
Here is all 8 lights on:
And finally the rear lights:
I need to take it out somewhere very dark and see how these things light the road up. They seem very bright but we will see.

How in the world am I EVER going to keep up????!!!
Now we definitely need to meet up for lunch someplace soon. We have the same color H2. Mines is more of the chrome direction. But I must say that the black really sets it off nicely !!!
