Default The heat is on! + New JP Shade...

My original tan interior was a non-heated model but after doing my black interior conversion I now have heated seats. Just needed the console w/switches and it was plug n play! Perfect with winter approaching.

Also, the neighbors over here at my work carry these JP sunshades if ya'll need any for really cheap so I copped me one of them.

What do ya'll think if I tinted my headlights gun smoke? My work here at Impressive Wrap in El Monte specializes in this kind of stuff so I'm debating whether to do it but since my lights are factory green-tinted I'm not sure if it will come out good. Leme know thx!

LOL no they're an aftermarket tuning company: http://www.junction-produce.co.jp/html/

I think they're real sun shade is ridiculously overpriced. I do promotional sun shades as well, so I'm wondering if I know your neighbor?

Also did a quick chop for you for your headlights. I agree with everyone else i think your car looks fine as is, but the tint doesn't look bad either.

Did you have to put a fuse in the fuse box to get the heated seats to work? I have the center and new black seats but I'm getting them diamond stitched so I havent had a chance to install and try the heated option but I've heard of this mystery fuse that is not marked in the fuse panel of non heated cars

Ha ha. I thought the same thing when I started visiting this forum a few years ago. They actually make pillows for your car and ribbons to hang from your mirror. So, not a grocery store chain, but more of a Bed Bath and Beyond for your car.

Good looking out no doubt bro! The smoked headlights look pretty nice! I wonder how much the real jp shade is?

Actually to my surprise there was already a fuse(20) in the designated spot! Lol

Off topic but I noticed your roof is black.... vinyl? Did you notice the car getting hotter during summer parked outside, etc.? I thought about it for 3 seconds before realizing I'm in Texas... I might Plastidip the roof to test this out though it's already getting cooler outside now.....but figured I'd ask you of your experience so far? I like the look and my car is silver, so I'm considering it (along with late model tails, possibly front lip, etc.)

My roof is painted but if I could redo it I would've just done a 3m gloss black wrap.
Yea it did get a bit hotter so I just tilted my ac vents upwards a lil more lol.

Not that it matters but is your sunshade authentic JP? The ones I've seen are grey and don't fill the windshield as good as the one you have
