Spec-D Tuning Smoked LED Tail Lights

 

...so I went for a drive and ended up taking some pics.

 

Can you share some more words about the Pedal Commander accessory? I have questions.
1) Does it improve your fuel economy?
2) Let's say you put the gas pedal down without it, and then put the gas pedal down with it set to max - is there an actual diffference in acceleration?
3) Is it worth $300?

 

1) When in ECO mode, in theory it should improve fuel economy due to it decreasing throttle response. I've read online reviews where users have reported better mileage. I keep mine set at Sport (+4) most of the time and observe about the same mileage as without it installed.
2) Definitely feel the increased throttle response, not necessarily acceleration. But it will begin the acceleration process quicker.
3) For me, yes. And even more so since it was 10% off when purchased.

 

Thanks for the answer. Now the pedal commander accessory has been on the back of my mind ever since I saw the picture you posted of it.

 

 

Btw you don’t need to repaint the car,, check out optimums clear coat restore. Involves some prep and you have to follow the instructions very carefully but if done right you will end up with a brand new look for very little money just time spent

 

Finally had time recently to get my new bumper covers painted as well as the front lip spoiler. Now I just need to find the time for the complete front end build/refresh. I was fortunate enough to find these JDM fogs and the lip spoiler while on a business trip in Japan a couple of months ago. I cleaned and polished the fogs, then I laid some 8mil 3M paint protection film over the lenses.

 

Nice job, by the way are using the OEM brackets for the JDM fogs or custom made ones ?

 

Thank you brother! Will definitely need to fab support brackets, as I got these without any brackets or wiring harness. And I imagine these are quite a bit heavier than the standard OEMs (haven't removed mine yet). Do you have any photos of your brackets that you can post?

 

This photos I got it from a Japanese website .

 

Wow, could there be any more bends and pieces?! Appreciate it, as I'm sure I'll use these as a reference when fabbing my brackets. Have you started with the install of yours yet?

 

Loving your mods brother. I love the "menacing" look as well, but my wife thinks I should keep the executive appeal. Can't wait to see the spoiler on the front. Don't know that I have the talent to do that, but definitely thinking about it

 

Really appreciate the kind words brother! And great to see you're rollin' the same sled as I....gotta keep these old '07s going strong. It's definitely been a labor of love, and although the menacing look was not planned from the beginning, I'm happy with how she turned out. A lot of the look resulted out of necessity, more or less, because parts of the car were either worn out and/or weather beaten. After all these years of modding and customizing vehicles, this is my first time blacking out one to this degree.

At this point I'm pretty much all in on the dark theme, so I really hope the front end turns out like I've envisioned it. Here's a sneak peek at the headlights before they're installed. I scoured ebay and the like all last year searching for decent replacements. Still ended up wet sanding, polishing, and then clearing both lenses. But the effort was worth it, as they turned out really nice.

 

Digging the look on this.
