    Get the bosch ones then. That's what I have

    Very nice touches, HFS, I believe I will follow suit if it gets warm enough to spray paint on the weekend.

    HFS, when we hang out, we can compare plugs, because I thought they were all pretty much the same depth and everything. Maybe I am indeed mistaken.

    Anyway, a very small touch, but they came out good! I can't believe you painted in this weather unless you have a basement... Its freaking cold! I had to wear gloves working on my O2 sensor because the tools were so cold they hurt.

    I like the new pic in your sig, is that over at the Park on lincoln/jordan?

    Yeah it was a little cold and I did it in my garage. Nothing bad happens, just takes a little longer to dry.

    I took those pics at the same place you took yours. Rec center parking lot :P

    I just flat-blacked a Mazda 6 symbol yesterday, and did some small tinting on a model car I've been playing with.
    Worked in the laundry, it's a toasty 65 and kept a low lamp on the parts to help them dry.

    Used plenty of newspaper to keep spray off stuff, and you're good to go!

    Stuff looks nice HFS...

    Magnecor wires are red, and they are the best quality plug wires you can buy. Expensive, but worth it.

    They should make them for an 02. Just search the intarweb . Looks really good! Definately rids the monotony of yellow.

    looks like easy, bang-for-buck aesthetic mod.
