Actually I dont have these switches anymore as I didn't want to drill my CF overlay. It was one for the address entering during motion, the other never came to use but was originally intended for the rear camera manual override.

Yes, the bumper had to be cut to fit the exhaust.

The exhaust was installed by my dealer, it was ordered through them from TRC. It's not noticeably louder than stock, the sound is deeper and at WOT, it has a V8-like note.

The pics in this thread show the vinyl film I had before. Didn't look too bad but was peeling off on the edges when the interior heated up in the sun.

Yes, it is Fabulous front and rear, Gfx sides.
I don't know of a company selling the quad exhaust in the States, and here it is only TRC selling it themselves.

Do you have any pics or info on your install of the 3LS fender blinkers? Those look great!!!

Also, where did you purchase your H&R 20mm spacers from? Internet, or local shop?

Also, one more question - What is the drop from the H&R springs? Is it similar to the Eibach drop of 1.0 (front) and 0.8 (rear)?

Thanks!

The blinkers on the previous pics are just the stock ones. (Euro version)
The 3LS looks like this:



Left= 3LS, right=stock IS


It was a simple swap.
I bought the spacers from my dealer, no idea where they got it from.
The H&R drop is 35mm front and rear.

OK, I see my car has changed a bit since this thread.
For any updates, please refer to the following: (Official SGM Thread)

Of course, I'll still answer your questions, this will only avoid confusions and re-posting on similar subjects over different threads.

Thanks for the info.

So those side markers come stock on the euro model IS? They look great.

Are your rims 18" or 19"? Are those stock as well?

oh yeah, and one last thing - did you have to extend your wheel bolts to use the H&R 20mm spacers?
