But are those wire nutts permanint? I know thats
good for house wire, but automotive is a hole different deal,
and I think those will shake loose after a while. </TD></TR></TABLE>

I have never heard of them shaking loose? have you ever used them, it's a like a spring inside that tightens around the wires...I'll let you know if it ever comes undone...but i doubt it will

It is unless you use it to cover a soldered connection. I solder almost everything, but as I take the wideband in and out, why solder and have to cut?

Wirenuts are just fine. Keep doing your thing playboy.

I'd just get some touch up paint for your car and put it on the exposed metal.

It works great for protecting small, preferably unseen areas. Plus, it comes with its own nifty little applicator brush. Don't get fancy and get fuschia mango, you want clear.

If you risk getting a strange look from the cashier @ Walmart, and actually buy it instead of confiscating it from a GF, you'll find other uses for it as well. It does a great job of protecting bolt and screw heads, as well as keeping the unraveling thread on a shirt button in place. This is especially handy when the the button on the shirt that you just spent 1/2 an hour ironing takes a dump on you 20 minutes before an interview.

Nice WU.
I would paint the hole... those fenders rusts real easy.

Here in the Netherlands all EG's get sidemarkers. People over here actually pay money to have them removed!

pfffff.....ill wire circles around you.

They do have other conectors then wire nutts and
butt connectors. Im not trying to tell you guys what
to do, but <u>I[//u] would go get the connectors with
male and female ends, so you can plug, and un-plug.

But what do I know, so take it for what its worth.

I dont like your car.. stop running it into ****..

Those lights just arnt doing it for me. You should have gotten better/different lights..

I think you should get some Weds Wheels, and lower it more. It also needs a new paint job.

thanks for brining it back from the dead. some suggestions tho:
- use scotch-tap style connectors so you dont have to cut the factory harness for the wiring
- use a sheet metal nibbler or dremel tool to make more complex cuts for oem style side markers (the ultimate tool would be a plasma cutter)
