Default My Horsy's Pictures(modded)



the Clear Bra was installed 2 days ago, and still don't feel comfortable driving on the dirty road, "Lexus of Orlando" did a horrible job.(they hired a company to do it).

All you see above were done by myself except for phantom shield.

They were easy to do

I am going to get...

Clear Courtesy Lamp Cover

LED for Courtesy/Step

LED for Trunk(inside)

OEM Trunk Bra

D4S 6000k H.I.D.

and... one more thing is...

I am thinking about getting OEM GFX Side Skirt...

I don't know what to do w/ stock Side Skirt...


how the Flip-Flap make moves



***PS***
the 8th picture has "Red and Black" wires that SLv2i is sitting on, those are extended 12V Powered wires. I extended it from the cigarette thing so that i can easily hard-wire something on later w/o taking the Center Console apart.

Looks great, but why not the V1 as a radar detector?

Clear Carpet took me 3 minutes

Doggy Gum is not stable!!! got complains for my dog~~~

OEM Sports Pedal is very easy, all you gotta do for the Dead Pedal is to pop it upward and put the new one in, and for the Brake Pedal, it is easy to remove, but then to install the Sports Brake Pedal, it might take you 10 minutes to install properly. And the hardest part is the Accel Pedal, you need to remove the entire assembly that is part of the Accel, there are 2 screws, botom one is easily accessable, top one requires flexible tool to reach up there, but it is not that tightly installed so you can twist it gently then it will come out. The Sports Pedals took me 40 minutes due to no good tools. you will need to hammer a pin after removal.

For Illuminated Door Sill, it takes you 1 minute to install both sides if you are in hurry.(* 06 models requires more mods, 07-08 are plug and play.)

the Cobra Radar Dector is hard wired and mounted on the windshield hiding the wires on the edges of windshield. Took me about 10 minutes due to hiding wires perfectly.

Vaistech SLV2i took 30 minutes for me (it is my 2nd time owning 2IS, so i know a lot about this car), beginer might take 2 hours w/ scratches.

Smoked TailLight Overlay hurt my hand so bad.. also, it was my second time doing it. Better to do it when it is very hot and sunny outside and dust free weather. took me 1 and half hours.

SLV2i will play video if you have iPod Video.

If you already have ML Package, wait untill Vaistech anounces package #4

I actually can not watch video now even though i have iPod video.

It is because of the unit that i have only works for old iPod videos. New iPod videos requires authentication chip. Vaistech will release it at the end of March from what I know... I need to send the unit back to them for free upgrade =)

From what I know, V1 has ugly display even though it is the best well known product available out there? correct me if i am wrong in terms of having the display on the unit.

Mine has no display but kinda Smoked lens for detecting the radar,

it came w/ wireless remote(color display) that shows me the status and things.

it was about $300 or more

Nice installations. But it might be better if we stop the cutesy titles of the posts. They make no sense and make future searching for particular content problematic. Titles should be short and clearly indicate what the content of the post is. This one certainly doesn't do that.

You may call it picky, but CL should be semi-permanent source for info and pics. Six months from now someone will remember these pics and will have a heck of a time to find the post. Just trying to make your good pics and info more accessible to those who would want to access them in the future.

Im gonna have to agree, you took some technical pics and took the time to edit them rather than taking 'fun' pics. One suggestion, for this page add it to your sig like how i have a link in mine to 'my car', Evitzee is just trying to say you did a good job with all of that and this is a very useful post for others to use as a resourse and should be easy to find.... bleh ok enough of that...

Haha love that flip flap thingy, i would love to put that sony rolly in my car but... i doubt it would stay in one place
