Default Matador Red in all its glory! New mods!!!!

I finally got around to doing a few more mods to my wifes 2008 250 RWD. I have added the GFX kit, Carson Tuned mesh grille and 6000K XD D4S bulbs since the last pics. I also added a set of the clear door reflectors to go with the lighted door sills. I have a set of X pack springs ready to go in just to lower it a tad.....I cant lower it too much as it is my wifes car. Anyway...enjoy!

Goto vleds HERE

my recomendations:
If you want to match, get the 5smt HERE

If you dont care about matching, i myself use THIS the 11smt.

If you really want contrast use anything higher than the 11smt such as such as the 19smt or 27smt bulbs.
