InitialD, i assume u;ve gotten ur rod rite?? the shop i meant is the one opposite the market, dunno wat;s the name but painted in yellow one, u can see them selling all those tools like drill and stuff......

dremel tools?? I wanna get one too.... damn cute. Stanley can help with that.... can ask him where to get.... he show me the china version of dremer b4, about the same and cheaper.

khai,

abletools, below RM100, the accessories are dirt cheap compared to my ex B&D RTX-1 (300 bucks for the tool).

go to Jln Pasar and you should find them. not pretty but does the job well.

:)

I wonder how square angel eyes would look. wonder if they'd be nice...heh.

 

[menghua84]

Curious... won't the plastic rod melt due to heat from the headlights?

 

[ksgoh]

should be not so heat until can melt the rod.....

 

[synail]

[ksgoh]

Thanks guys. I might need to borrow the special tools from Stanley. Actually, is there any difference between plastic rod and acrylic rod?
