  1. Sorry I should've mentioned that. This was on my 620.
  2. I would also say that you could do what Dawa did and found it in an assortment pack at your local parts store.
  3. If your linkage is anything like mine, the plastic bushings have either broken or worked their way loose. My issue was both and earlier today when I quickly turned the wipers on/off I heard the inevitable snap. Took off the cowl and indeed my 30+ year old bushing had broken. I was afraid that I was going to have to special order some specific parts online but decided to check out my local auto stores anyways. I actually find a solution that's cheap and effective. I found an assorted wiper linkage bushing kit at O'Reilly's made by HELP! Part number is 49447. Inside there are various bushings, however the one you need is this one. The new one compared to the broken original. The assortment costs $4.50 and includes 3 of the bushings shown above. Fits perfectly and got my wipers functioning once more. If anyone needs a cheap and simple replacement for their wiper linkage bushings I recommend going this route.
  4. Put some finish on there, get a matching steering wheel and it would look awesome!

    Exactly what a scamming asshole would say. ;) Amirite?
  6. Oh shit. :rofl: Seriously, Adam is a great guy. Don't know why anyone would think it's a good idea to call him out.
  7. I personally made my own using the DIY writeup on this website.
  8. Can that be found at any hardware or auto parts store?
  9. I might attempt fender flares and want to prevent going the drill and bolt way. I've seen videos on YouTube where people have used a adhesive/caulk to attach fender flares then use clamps to keep it in place until it dries. Anyone have any recommendations of what I could use?
  10. Got the wheels dipped two days ago and after many hours and fabbing I don't want to admit to I finally got my Camaro lip fitted yesterday. Also installed new JDM turn signals.
  11. All I had to do was modify the valance and bend the bottom portion flat so the lip could be mounted on it. I've heard of people doing the opposite and bending the lip itself. The method I did seemed to be easier IMO. I didn't have a heat gun but had tools to bend the metal. My buddy helped me out with it, definitely takes a few sets of hands. I think this one is ABS but it is slightly flexible. I'm sure with a heat gun it could be altered.
