Default Vector UFO's regulars and minis!

Got in my Vector UFO's in and put them on!

I was going to make a whole write up, mostly as a joke, it's pretty obvious. However, today while doing this.... I dropped on of the nuts, holy shit.

DEAR LORD DO NOT DROP THE NUT ON THE UFO NORMAL SIZES!!!

I had to bend a little piece of metal in my hood just to get the nut back out.

Anyway, here are the before and after photos! If anyone actually needs any advice let me know. Easy write up.

Before!



After!!






So far these have....

- Improved vehicle handling *
- Improved vehicle dynamics *
- Improved fuel efficiency *
- Decreased radar signature *
- Increases sexual appeal *
- MCAA Approved #*

Lmao!

I have the ufo's on the hood too. They're pretty cool. Funny though I did the same thing, lost one of the nuts inside the hood. Couldn't get to it, let it rattle around there for a few weeks, opened the hood up one day and it fell out luckily.

Sweet!

I bought a set over a year ago and they're awesome. I'm planning on getting a PSC hood vent by this summer and think the combo will look great!

Man I wish I could have done that, but I new the rattling would drive me crazy! I kept working the hood until I got the nut to a corner, then bent the hole to get the nut out. It should come with a warning! Haha. I love the look though! How much did you guys tighten these? I think I overtightened one but am not sure.

I have these too, front and rear!

A little heads up for those with a TF carrier...you will need to remove the hinge side ufo! I bolted up the carrier, did a little head scratching as to why it wouldnt sit flat, and then ...need to remove the ufo. duh.
