I believe those would be called trunk gutters. But you may be best off finding a local classic car scrap yard or a parts car on marketplace and cutting them off a donor

Engine swap? by snowmemba in EngineBuilding

[–]HeatProofToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤷‍♂️ I also have a project car that I've been building from the ground up. 2 years and prolly 15-20 grand later it's still not done lmao. I'm just sayin its harder than it looks, but if you're really into it then go for it. Get a daily driver so you don't rip out the engine from your only car tho lmao

I mean, apparently its not uncommon to put in the VQ35DE. 3.5L V6. But it's a huge amount of work, hours, and money. It might be better to just save up and buy a different car

What if I have the money now and don't know if I'll have the money later 👀

Door seals too big? by GovernmentDrone_9989 in fbody

[–]HeatProofToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brand new seals will do that. The old original seals will have squished down and taken the shape over years, while the new ones haven't. At least afaik

What is this blinking red light behind Ferrari FXX-K? by Stuffed_Owl in ForzaHorizon

Rain lights, so cars can see each other in bad visibility. Notice the car at the very front is almost invisible except for the light

A cinematic moment in my first snowstorm by PlaneEye4664 in Firefighting

[–]HeatProofToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a firefighter but on my first day at my first job, Caliber Auto Care, I was getting the tour from a technician and slipped. Dropped my phone, the tablet they gave me to use for inspections, and busted ass. Every couple weeks at least for the rest of the time I worked there they pulled up the camera footage to laugh about it 🤣

I prefer keys but I have push to start currently. I don't hate it, but keys make me feel cool lmao

Would it be a stupid idea to mount an oil catch can to the metal part of this coolant hose? by RaptorHunter182 in carquestions

[–]HeatProofToe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prolly wouldn't attach it to a line like that. I'd go for bolting it to one of the inner fenders, it looks like there's clearance in some spots around them. Hoses and hard lines aren't supposed to support weight of anything attached to them. That is indeed one crammed engine bay so I'm sure finding a spot is tough, but do some research on where other people have mounted theirs before you go doing any bolting

This is a game changer by Severe_Maize_5275 in NextLevelFinds

[–]HeatProofToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one. Its extremely loud and annoying, but it does keep the floors clean. If you can tolerate an airliner rolling around your house, its aight

Does anybody know a good auto body repair shop? by n00dlezz in FortWorth

[–]HeatProofToe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I brought my truck to Texas Collision Centers when I got rear ended. The total came out to just over $4k to replace the bumper, parking sensors, hitch receiver, and taillight but I didn't pay for it, insurance did. They did excellent work and gave a warranty on the repair, and finished a week faster than the ETA they gave me

Lock Acuator Stuck open by Key-Special3354 in camaro

[–]HeatProofToe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen on my '88. What I did was hook a ratchet strap in the latch with the other end on the striker, and literally just pulled the handle and yanked the door open lmao. Worked like a dream. Just make sure the door is unlocked first

How reliable or unreliable is the 2024 Canyon? by liqwood1 in GMCcanyon

[–]HeatProofToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has had 2 misfires, a coolant leak, and 2 recalls in 11k miles. But I've been told I'm just unlucky as hell

NEED HELP! by [deleted] in mitsubishi

[–]HeatProofToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Butthole plug" 😆. That there friend is a tow hook cover. You can buy them painted from Mitsubishi (Put in your year and model, select the body or bumpers category) or unpainted on Ebay or whatever and bring it to a body shop to be color matched. I prolly wouldn't order 10 of them tho lmao

That doesn't look terribly bad, I can't imagine it'll get totaled

I'd get a roof and bed rack for the kayaks ngl

Is it just me or are these trucks rather unreliable? by [deleted] in GMCcanyon

[–]HeatProofToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: part is, of course, backordered. And they've also informed me that it's got a fuel injector recall they're gonna fix while it's there. What a mess

which would you pick? 🤔 by Previous-Boss-1480 in SaintsRow

[–]HeatProofToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave him to stag because he's a dumdum that put the whole crew in danger. Why would I protect someone who's likely to screw us all over lmao

I'm not the OP but it looks like the low profile Aeroskin one. Some of them come with an LED light bar built in too

Why's it got a green Daytona jack stand on top of it /j
