Thanks man, I'm glad you like it. The exhaust plus the muffler only cost $120 but the stainless tip set me back $80!
nice exhaust and I really like the price . I need to get a new exhaust on my baja, but I'm having trouble finding any for the baja. any suggestions on where to find some. And what kind is the one you got?
follow the "dismantling the interior" thread to access the center console. Push the tabs on the bottom of the coin tray to remove it.
I used a razor and dremel to make vertical cuts in the center fins of the coin holder then used a set of needle nosed pliers to grab and twist the plastic out. Use some sand paper and a razor to remove any excess plastic the lightly run a lighter over it to polish the rough plastic you just created. Using your Dremel, cut out the appropriate holes to make your switches and/or Aux audio cables fit. Install and all done!
Open your hood and remove the 6 8mm grille bolts and 1 10mm bolt in the very front center. The 3 8mm bolts circled in red are on each side of the grille.
Once you have it off, clean it up real good, scuff the parts to be painted with sand paper and tape off the areas you do not want painted. I chose to paint the chrome trim and not the dark gray areas. Give it ample time to dry and reinstall. A cheap and easy mod to give it some character!
Once you have it off and you have your mesh (source - http://tinyurl.com/metalmesh) cut it to fit behind the large openings. I had leftover mesh so I had to make 2 separate pieces for one side.
I then used JBweld to attach the mesh to the grille. I scuffed up the plastic and stuck it on. I suppose Epoxy could work as well.
Completely overhauled this thread to include links to tutorials concerning the Baja. It was previously called "My Recent Mods Pics Included" If you know of any other tutorials that you feel should be included let me know and I'll update the post.
I come from having a Jeep Wrangler JK to off-road & a 61 VDUB bug for fast( 2332 installed) & planty of options in the aftermarket or DIY sector. I just picked up an 05 NA automatic( I know not as coveted ast the turbo manual, but the other 2 are sticks so I was being 'practical) for my 'daily'. It has some mods for off-road including 2" KDF lift & KO2 tires. So I am interested in seeing what folks have done to mod their baja for their lifestyle needs including auxiliary power supplies, car camping, bike racking. Also looking to see if anyone has done an at home wrap job on the paint, exterior cladding, or interior... There doesn't seem to be much/any aftermarket supply. Thanks again.
"Aftermarket" is pretty much driven by volume demand. While there is some stuff that is shared with Outbacks (volume). There never were that many Bajas, and the newest ones are about 15 years old. Dennis
