Gen 8 mods - come in here to discuss

Post by hhong » Sun Oct 12, 2008 12:55 pm

hi all,

any CP owners started to mod or am thinking of modding their rides?

i am thinking of doing up the mesh thing in the front to keep out those small stones, leaves and sticks from getting into our radiator etc.

anyone want to do this?

the other mini mod i am thinking of is the rear foglight which KAH has left out. :evil: and they simply brand it as a reflector for the CP.

anyone want to do this as well?

Why do you need a foglight ?

its very irritating if you drive behind one you know.

yes and no....yes to only the bottom part of our CP. notice the vents are big...and i prefer the mesh to be inside rather than out as per some pics displayed.

do you have intention to do it? maybe can do it together. i think one mesh can be used by 2 CP. just need a good workshop for this small but useful mod.

you keen?

for your information, any fog lights, be it front or back is very irritating if misused. it is also against the traffic law as stated by LTA/TP to on it on clear nights.

the reverse fog light that i wanted to do up is due to the fact that i do travel up north and road conditions are not as good along the highway. :D

bottom-line is visibility in bad weather/road conditions. be safe, not sorry.

Yep, exactly, it auto close when i lock the door. There were many time when I had to recheck to see if the doors were locked, now with this, I need only to see my mirrors. And also our car width is rather wide :wink: so this feather helps and because I'm too fat :lol:
I did it in wishw...ks, pm me if you need the address. It took about 2 hours for installation.
