whoops next time ill post using a computer. Im surprised how much the red has grown on me. I liked it when I bought the car but iI was worried about the color standing out too much , but somehow it works on this car; i think it because its not a bright red and the exterior color is nice, rich , and little understated.

Ultra racing rear subframe bar. Believe it or not, but the car feels better in turns now - planted to the pavement with less body roll (the rear).. not sure if it was the result of the bar or over tightening the subframe.....🤷🏻*♂️

Definitely missed the planted feeling when I moved from BC coilovers to airbags.

Yes. I wrapped the front surround in an Avery "black" that's actually a charcoal color to match the stock lower grill color. I used plastidip for the rear emblems, and I used Vvivid gloss black for the door trim. I'll get the spoiler and roof done professionally because I can't seem to get the corners to behave when I wrap the spoiler. Three attempts is too many. Time to go to the pros.

What bag setup do you have? Also where did you buy the UR stuff from? Their website is horrible.

Replaced my old LED reverse lights with new brighter LED reverse lights. The new one is on the left the old one is on the right. It's harder to tell during the day but you can still see that it's brighter.



This is looking up my driveway and there are zero lights on in my driveway and my street has no lights and I can see all the way up the driveway now.



Here is the lights at night and looking into my garage (disregard the mess and project car)

Little late but a few weeks ago I changed all the door puddle lamps to LEDs. Great for showing off rims. I would love to see other members pay a similar pic as mine with the rear door open; I'm sure non OEM rims would really set off the pic!

Where did it come from? Do you have a link? Or something I can use to find it online?

it's an ebay carbon fiber spoiler. i talked with OP and he said that it does not cover up the stock spoiler mounting holes, so if you get it you either need to get the holes filled in or covered up to prevent water from getting inside.
