  1. They Locking Gas Caps at NAPA Auto Parts. Well im sure other places got'em 2, but thats where I got mine a while back. How do the people that steal the gas, out of ur car do it- without messing with the tank? Like, how do they get it out from where the Cap goes? They suck it out? With what? ...im not trying to learn how to do it, just curious. Oh, @ SS, are u really selling that beauty? Wow...
  2. $6.22 a Gallon, by the time Thanksgiving comes around?
  3. Looks pretty neat-o. I like the Rollpan. Good lookin yard, 2.
  4. ^I always wondered that. I guess thats why Street Scene calls'em, "Bumper Covers." -Thanks, NT.
  5. How'd u do that? I was thinking of doing something like that 2.
  6. Whats the best paint to use, when painting the Grille? What Silv said, "Krylon Fusion"? BTW, for Threadstarter- that sounds like 2 much work. ...just Spray it all. BUT, if u do what u wanna do- post pictures.
  7. What he said. Looks awesome, by the way.
  8. With these Gas prices, street racing is the last thing on my mind. One time, back in early 2007 I was on the highway and 2 trucks that seemed 2 be traveling together pulled up to me. One on the right, the other on the left. They were both the same truck as mine, Silverados, but 1 was Stepside. We were going, and 1 goes up a little as to initiate the race and then the other one... then they wait. ...I dont go up. ...they slow down- and we're in the same position again, me in the middle. They do it again, and wait for me but this time I go... I pass'em up and they take off. LOL. ...I guess that's not really a good story. Oh well.
  9. Ok. I got a Speeding Ticket, allegedly doing 55 on a 45. The Cop said he "Clocked me" at 57, but he put 55. Anyway, he checked my Insurance & Driver's License- then he came over to hand me the ticket & sign it. As he stood there, he looked at my tires/wheels... He says, "You know, with big wheels like these (I have 22's) sometimes the Speedometer doesnt match how fast you're actually going." Or something like that, I forgot the exact words. Then I said, "Oh. Well yeah, now thinking about it- I see what you mean." And he's like, "Yeah because I have big wheels on my truck as well. I had it Certified." Me- "What's that? "Certified." Him- "Speed Certified. You take it a shop, they hook it up to a Dyno and figure out then "correct" & match your Speedometer to how fast your wheels are actually going." Me- "Oh, I didn't know they did that." Him- "Yeah. Take the Certificate they give you, to the court... and maybe they will work with you on the ticket." Me- "Oh ok. Thanks, I think I'll do that." Me- "Die slow, pig." ...nah, just kidding. I didnt say that last part. ________________________________ Then he left and it was over. So anyway, that was a pretty long read for ya. Let me get to the point- Im trying to find a place that does that thing, "Speed Certification". -Anyone know where? Im in Houston. -Or what is that machine called? Dyno- what? -I was thinking like one of those shops that do State Inspections... -Oh, and anyone know how much it'd be? _____________ (I didn't think of asking the Cop where he went for his. Dumbass, I know.) I Googled anything I could think of, but nothing came up. Thanks for any help/advice.
  10. Do Tonneau Covers (however you spell it, "Bed Covers") really save gas? Im assuming they do, but it might just be something they say- to sale them. I wanna get that really thin one. Fiberglass. -It looks like it's almost an inch thick, so its really low profile. -Im sure its more than 2K though...
  11. Gonzo

    Gas

    Wow... I didnt know some of this stuff. Thanks.
  12. Did u sale the Rear Bumper already? If not, how much? -Yeah, I read where you said it has a small hole in it.
  13. Ha ha. That thing is SOLD by now.
  14. I wouldnt mind buying an SS Bumper cover from my truck. -It would be the closest thing I'd have, to an SS. Dont hate. SS Silverados > Other Silverados.
  15. What r u trying to do, again? Stop ur headlights, from turning on Automatically? Yeah, I dont like that either... but I dont wanna mess with any of the wiring. -If u find a way to do it, w/o messing with it... let us know.
  16. I wanted to get them 2, for my truck. Those Silverstars, I mean. But nah... everyone has those. Ima get some Yellow ones. -I want my HID's Yellow, aswell. Yellow FTW.
  17. SMH @ People not helping. I was gonna start a thread like this 2, because I want to get an Alarm aswell. The only 2 that I know of are VIPER and PRESTIGE. ...neither of them are that good, or at least is what I have heard from asking around. Someone said that Viper is the Sony of Alarms, cus its the most popular so its fairly cheap- but its also 1 of the weakest.
  18. $50 a freakin wheel? CRAP. That's cheap. I havent really bothered asking at Body/Paint Shops, but I guess I will start. Around how long does it take? From dropping the wheels off, to picking them back up- I mean.
  19. 20. Student. I work at FastSigns... ...for right now. ...hopefully.
  20. I dont have Fogs on my truck YET, but I have seen and been in a few that have that same problem. I dont really know what it is. -Maybe u didnt tighten them up enough, when u installed them? -Something with the Bumper, NOT the Fogs? -Maybe it just looks like they shake a lot, cus of the HIDs and u see it everywhere... but its not really that bad? BTW, where did u get the HIDs from? Is there a Thread on where to get HIDs from? I dont wanna start one, if there is already one. -I need a pair. -A cheap pair.* -A good, cheap pair.**
  21. Is there any problems, after that? With the wheels, I mean. I mean problems, as in heat or anything like that. -Weather, maybe. Because I have some Chrome 22's, and I have been wanting to do that aswell. (Get them painted Black or Powder-Coated.)
