What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[TorqueEffect]

Painted the ebay grille.

^ For kicks I'd like to see it on the rack to see how close it is. I'd bet its right on the money.

I'd say so too. The only alignment that can really be done on a festiva is toe. Caster and camber I suppose if you have a nonstock setup.

WOW ! 700 pages in this thread.

Today I did a DIY string and tape measure front end alignment. The method has always worked out well in the past. The local tire place wanted $60..ha ! One of the best reasons to own a festy, DIY repairs and maintenance keep it one of the cheapest cars ever to drive.

My next day off isnt until nexxt thursday, so wed night probably the quivkest i can lower it. Nothing ever is a 30 minute job when you dont have a backup vehicle...its a cali car i dont reckon ill break off any bolts in the rear but i have to anticipate drama...like when i jacked up the car today to simply change wheels, i discovered i had zero bushing on the passenger shuft linkage...no wonder it sounded so metallic and notchy lol. Lucky i steal kia low miles shifter bushings last time at the yard.

Mine are burnt titanium, which are purple gold green color. I have neochrome items already. I bought a rainbow kershaw knife off woot.com aweek or so ago. If platic dip made that...id go for it

Just go to dipyourcar.com. they have everything imaginable on there to make a custom color in the plastidip variety. Tad pricey, but for how amazing it is and the selection they have, you can't beat it.

Cool knob! I like that!

Sent from the trash can.

[Prafeston]

I would suggest purple or orange!

Was gonna get purple lugs if I ever mounted my OZs.

Here was my old wheels and springs though. Don't have a good pic of the purple next to the green of the car. But I also had a purple shift knob.

I plastidip my black srt4s wheels red. Saw a jeep srt8 done the same way in my town. I was driving festiva and chatted with him at the gas station. I said it was pretty bold to do that, and he said he saw a black neon a few months back done that way haha i got all giddy.

Now with this color i cant think of much, i think anything other than black would be bad. Wish i had a yellow stiva

[frankenfester]

oh don't worry if you zoom in on the rear I'm using the tuner lugs. on the front I'm still using the stock bolts haha

They aren't that bad man. You should paint them a cool color. That would be wicked.

Got my new headlight assemblies put on today.
They are super clean and clear.
And then at night time I went to a level empty parking lot with a building to adjust my headlights on.
Got them adjusted then drove around and made small corrections.
The headlight bulbs I've had are the silverlights that are one step brighter than stock since they last longer than ultra bright bulbs.

It's been a while since I had bright white light coming out of my headlights.
I can actually see well at night again.

Then while I had the front grill removed I wrapped saran wrap over the front of it.
Pulled it tight then used heat to tighten/stretch it over the front.
To help keep my car warmer on the cold days.
So far so good.
