Finally added the VLED bulbs to the puddle light and it made a huge difference. Can actually tell I have a puddle light now! Only issue was one of the black clips on the back of the mirror broke when removing it... I even took my time and slowly tried to remove it. Anyone else have this happen? Hoping that with three clips it will still be ok, if not I will be shopping for a new mirror.

Well on the bright side it looks like the headlight is okay so maybe just a new bumper?

If you had a liquid platinum car I would have a bumper for you. My base bumper still has the factory PPF on it and nobody wants to buy it even for $50. It's been 9 months I might end up throwing it away. Sometimes just the bodywork might cost the same as a new bumper. I upgraded to the f-sport bumper and a new unpainted one from the dealership was under $500. This would also be an opportunity to change to f-sport bumper if you always wanted one.

I thought about using this to go F-sport bumper, but I do really love the OEM look of these cars. I'm happy with the Lux Package look and think I will keep it for now.
I WILL however use this as an opportunity to black out the bumper and begin the chrome delete.

My long term goals are chrome delete, tints, paint the wheels gunmetal, and maybe some mufflers to give her a little more voice.

I've been busy yesterday and today swapping out the stock bulbs for LED's. I've switched the puddle lights, door lights, vanity mirror lights, and reverse! I read the DIY for the puddle lights and you guys weren't kidding around, it really takes a lot of force to pop off the driver mirror. Other than that I really like how the white LED's really make everything sharp and clean!

I forgot to post. Install my TSW Nurburgring wheels from my previous GS, install a new weatherstrip and had the dealership fix a big door dent.

Wheel info: 19x8 +35mm offset, 245/40/19

Hello all. Installed 2 new rear tires, Michelin Pilot 275/30/20, also the iJDMTOY clear fog light kit, added LED H11 bulbs and upgraded to 6000k HID headlight bulbs. very pleased with the outcome. Also got my updated License plate too. Ive had this plate for almost 30 years. I figured since I got a newer nice clean car I needed to update the Plate

Today I installed the first of two foglights that I got for x-mas from my wife
They are of type Miromoto.
The photos show the difference in appearance quite well, both when on and off.
When I get around to installing the right one I will try to capture some photos of the process!

Recent snow annihilated the GS.

Started with this:






Finished with this:





But upon cleaning it found a huge door ding. Going to have to call my PDR guy.

@JDR76 Wait, the $692 was because it was your first registration, right? Surely it's not $692 every year?
