it is in the neighborhood of 50/50. The reason it is blue is because I am using a mixture of Window Washer Fluid that is 38% meth with the rest of the mixture being water and dye. to make it closer to 50% meth I top it off with a yellow bottle of Heet. To some this seems really crazy, but I've done my research online and offline and this is safe.

lol holy craperik,

cj my respect level for you has risen. finding a cheaper methanol recipe was a good move.
lots of people seem to think its either safe or truly bad, but as long as the content of it
has low or no antifreeze (yes they make all weather fluid) or ammonia it should be fine.

and the new bumper looks really good. you gonna paint it before you roll it around. or go
honda and just act like its normal looking. lol jk dude. either way its gonna look pretty sweet dude.

JK.

BUT, on a serious note.. about the "badges", if the min order is say 5 badges per design, then I guess that would be the max I could go, since I would only need 2, but a few xtras couldn't hurt.

I'm really not into the racing scene but whats a meth kit for if you don't mind me asking?

As for me i'm still trying to find a reasonable priced set of 05-07 headlight to start my retrofit project (some guy try to sell me a set he painted white for 300). My s2k projectors are just sitting on the floor collecting dust. School is starting soon so I won't have alot of time to spend on it.

a methanol kit, upmixes your fuels octane level so you can run pump gas on a performance application safely. it also make your engine much less prone to have detonation issues. its actually a really good setup and a cheap way to make your turbo or supercharger run smoother and with more power safely.

That is a great explanation! and yeah, the bumper is getting painted. just wanted to test fit it before i spend alot more $$$ to get it painted.

so I was working on something kinda cool and low key but found out that it may not workout for me. A good friend found a set of seats on CL for me however it turns out after some extensive research they are fake (not his fault). So I know this is most likely the wrong area, but I would like to know what you guys think...should I rock them for awhile or no. I have always spoke against the cheap stuff, and still feel that way but meh it would get me through until I can get some real seats and pass these on...what do you think?

Here's what I have:










Real one:



Areas to tell where its fake:


So what do you think? I didn't spend a ton but at the same time it would be a few hundred sitting around that could go else-ware....

i say rock them for awhile till you get better seats - now that you know they are fake you won't get the money back you paid for them i'm sure so i would just rock them
