Hey misdirection your brake LED's look really good. Did you have any problems setting them up ?
 
#31 ·
No it was pretty easy. Just popped off the tail lights figured out what wire I needed than spliced them in. Used the adhesive strip on the back of them to hold them to the car and haven't had a problem yet.

Not sure. I saw your posting. But if I do I might go with something crazy or just black to keep my theme. I'll be doing the valve adjustment in a few weeks so might do it then.

The red details look good, red always seems to really stand out under the hood. Doing your valve cover red would look nice .
 
#44 ·
I was mainly thinking of powdercoating the CAI. and doing the fuse cover and a few other parts. if i do the valve cover in red i think it would be to much. so maybe some crazy color. Im always open to ideas from other people.

then went to the tint place and had my tint redone. went with 18% on the back doors , rear sides , and hatch. Did 5% on the front doors and a stip on the front.

now if only my teins were back. also got my LCA's on the way.
