Thanks tim!
the height sensor plug won't fit existing pre drilled holes Airlines will but not the sensors. It's short by a few mm

I just drilled some new holes (1 1/2") and put some computer wire plugs for airlines and sensor wires

sall good. drilling holes doesn't hurt . be sure to use grommets to protect the wiring/airlines. i would think the connectors are removable on the height sensor wiring, or at least small enough to fit through factory holes.

take lots of pics when doing the height sensors, and their placement. very curious to see that!

The LS looks perfect on meisters.

I wish I had the cash to spare to buy your wheels.

The plugs for the connectors are fairly large, and I think they're designed to be weather sealed (it has been a while since I've played with an accuair setup, so I might be wrong).

So I kinda got delayed with my air install but hopefully i can install everything on monday. Changed my mind on some of the parts. Still debating on running leader lines upfront so we'll see

Anyways I got my hand on some LED tails and installed it the other day. I wished it was the sequential ones but oh well..

There's a plastic plug that covers the screws so just pry it off and you'll see it



Dirty =(



Side by side



Close up



Installed passengerside. I dig it
