dude that sucks about the belt setup. are the bearings good in your alternator? maybe its jamming up idk thats all i couls think of. but everything else looks really good. i love the rims and tires. what did you do to the headlights? did you tint them or did they come like that? thanks man


The headlight came like that, i got them off a dealer that sells them on CL, so far so good, they are glass and seem to hold the HID;s good...

Serp setup is clean fam. This is the one I have one on the El and another setup saved for the Bu when I get it. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NAL-12497698/ One belt setup and ez install. Chris pulled the other setup for me and I blasted it at work. Mine moves the alt to the drivers side. If you have that same setup, there's a ac compressor delete pulley....http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NAL-10055890/. I have that on mine right now and it looks really clean...I also have the torque specs for the brackets if u need that info. Other thing about the serp setup is the water pump is a "long" reverse flow setup.
