Yeah it works according to them. I didn't see the episode, but I have a recent copy of Popular Mechanics with the Mythbuster guys featured in it and they gave a few quick fixes for auto problems, the egg thing was one of them.

Yeah, all paid in full. Rental, Labor+Part, Detail and Gas.. AutoWay Nissan is great!

Here are some new pics with Injen and Eibach Pro-Kit + Rear Camber Kit and Bump Stop Mod.

Kinda dirty right now.. especially the wheels.

Car looks great man...couple questions...

where'd you get the film for the tails and headlights, as well as the smoked turn signals?

Also, how does the tint on the headlights affect your headlight output?

My 03 is black and I want to make the whole car black from lights to wheels and even the door handles

I had my buddy do it at his vinyl shop in Clearwater. The tint on the headlights reduce a good amount of light output but it still lights up the road. If you do this, do not get aftermarket HID bulbs greater than 5300k as they will be extremely dim. I am still using stock.

I am also looking to do black door handles but haven't found anywhere online that sells them.

Ahh cool. I know there are companies like Rock Blocker that do lighting tints...just didn't know you if you used one of them. Still looks great though!

I wasn't planning on changing the bulbs, I like the HIDs like they are...I wonder if I could do something such as a cut-out that lines up with the projector...I don't want to change output at all actually

I think there was a DIY somewhere about people who just paint the handles. I'm not sure if there is anywhere that actually sells them pre-painted.
