Got the missus' car tinted the other day :)  looks great even at the shitty ruled 35% visual light transfer at the darkest you're allowed... This one is called Madico Black Pearl Nano-Ceramic and the bloke who did it is a gun at it :spoton: After a couple of weeks of it, it's great at dropping a 87% of UV light and keeping the car cool :cool1:

compare this first pic with the 2nd purchase shot here for how the tint shows up compared to nothing on the stock car -> https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81090-cool-stuff-you-just-bought/page/213/?tab=comments#comment-1700924

 

The rest of the pictures are more intended to show how the tint looks in comparison:

Following my comments on the off topic thread, finished the install of a GENUINE Walbro 255 intank pump.

 

Gotta say it was way harder than I had originally thought but its finally done! Here's some proof! 👇

 

Also, I noticed this wire coming out of the hood/cover thing, it went through to the wiring harness that plugs into the fuel cradle. Not sure what its for?

The other end follows all the way to the footwell to the abyss - also no idea where it leads to.

Anyone ever noticed this before?

ALSO!!! I got a FG rocker cover not a ba/bf one that I can actually use on my car. Plan is to get it powder coated in the chameleon teal again except I'll have a different base coat under it. I'm thinking purple or blue... Still haven't decided.

The ba/bf cover I did was a black base coat. Came out mint, just a tad too dark.

Picked up the CORRECT rocker cover for my car today from the powder coaters!

 

Light blue base with chameleon teal top coat. Won't look anything special until its hit by sunlight - kinda like pearl!
