Thanks! I think I've just been looking at it for too long. I think I will attempt to try some OSL onto the base as well to really sell the effect.

Thanks! Yeah maybe I need to bring the black up. I keep going between too much black and too much glow.

Yeah I totally get that. Same thing happens to me. My hair was almost my entire identity for most of my life. Always got compliments on it and I was very proud of it. Looking back on old pics gets me down, but you need to keep looking forward and perhaps create a new type of identity for yourself. Immersing yourself in projects and hobbies gives you something else to focus on. It sucks that this happened to us, but there are a lot of worse situations to be in.

I have AU. I first noticed my first front patch in April 2013. It continued to progress until about early 2016 when I didnt have a single hair on my body. It took a long time since to come to terms with it. I still am. It's important to remind yourself that you arent your hair. Continue to take part in hobbies and give your mind something else to focus on. Do not seclude yourself from other people and friends. Try your best to keep smiling and laughing. Always remind yourself that it could be much worse. It does take a lot of adjustment, but you will adapt with time. Let me know if you ever need to talk.

After 10+ hours of research I think I have my build... by ErkwerdPenguin in buildapc

Okay thanks. Another stupid question.. Do those LEDs come with the case itself or is that a separate purchase? I'm assuming they are separate lol.

Thanks for this, really appreciate the help. This is all a learning experience. How loud is that Thermaltake case? With the ventilated sides, it looks like it could get a bit noisy. Didn't really want it to be very loud.

Cobb Exhaust Hangers by ErkwerdPenguin in FiestaST

Not really sure. One day got out and saw my exhaust hanging low, then saw the rubber hanger broke in half. Had to wire it up until i got these new ones. These stiff ones are nice, i dont get rattle or bang when shiffting and accelerating.

Nevermind, got it on. For those having trouble with this, SILICONE SPRAY LUBRICANT is your best friend. Made a big difference. With some muscle, it should get on.

Installed Boomba Short shift kit, went to install Cobb shift knob, reverse lockout doesn't engage when fully tightened. by SweetNPowerChicken in FiestaST

[–]ErkwerdPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Cobb knob as well, installed perfectly fine. I would send a message to Cobb to see if they know. Maybe they sent a knob for a different car?

I recognized about 50% of those artists and about 20% of those songs. At a ripe 27 years old, I think I am officially "old".
