    Yeah...all my previous cars had green backlighting... I've been wanting amber for so long - didn't realize it was this straightforward haha. Now I need to get the HVAC to match. :-/

    Finally got my stripes put on. I'd give myself a 8/10 on installation. First time for everything!

    Thanks! It was more in regards to the edges - not shrinking properly or as well as I would have liked, etc. Otherwise - pretty good to me as well

    I got them from Garage Star - via Vinyl Tecnica. They came out a little more burgundy than dark red, but it works out for my future plans

    Do people still block out their license plate numbers (in pictures)? I mean...I did - but still wondering what the usual protocol is these days... AND that top picture made me realize why it looks like my car has the wrong rake. It's because it does . Need to go up to 9's for front springs. Afraid to put my lip on because I already scrape through hard corners while lip-less.

    Car looks fantastic, love the colourscheme! Only thing I would add is foglight holes/grommets on the front bumper.

    Will you keep pushing the red interior? It would look awesome...

    Thanks! And yes...slowly but surely on the reddish interior.

    Lip is on... still contemplating whether or not I want it paint matched. But for now...this will do

    Don't. It looks great! Would paint it with bumper spray to get that matte textured finish, but that's just me

    Thanks! Yeah there definitely rough finishing in various areas that might justify painting it...but I'll wait until after I get used to the new angles of approach first ;)
