Yea, I did a medium smoked vinyl on headlights, fogs and tails. I did it because I love the overall look, but it also protects the lights from rocks and debris. It definitely reduces light output and range, but modern cars have lights that are just friggin bright for no reason, so I feel I had some room to play with it. I can still see just fine at night and in the rain.

Definitely black out all chrome crap haha. I can't stand any chrome, especially throughout the exterior. I had my grille trim and window trim wrapped in satin black and painted my badges satin black. Roof and trunk spoiler are wrapped in CF vinyl.

Nice. I’ll definitely tint my lamps, but prefer a light smoke. I have the window trim and grille wrapped in satin black too. I want to switch it to gloss black though. The paint is caviar, so gloss black really adds some nice detail and shows off how the car isn’t a jet black.

Try out just one light with the light smoke and see how you like it before doing the rest. It just looks dirty, imo, but everyone has different tastes.

Oohh I love caviar!! I was considering getting mine in caviar/red interior, but Infrared was calling me haha. It's the perfect red. There aren't a ton of RCs in San Diego (one thing I LOVE about having mine), and I don't think I've seen any in caviar. Mostly silver, white and a couple of Infrared.

Im not a big fan of red cars but I’d definitely own one in Infrared. Such a beautiful color. I’ve literally only seen a handful of RCs, white, silver, and one infrared. I agree having a unique car is dope af.

Let me tell ya, if you're an attention ***** braggadocio, definitely go for Infrared! 🤣 This thing attracts way too much attention and people always ask me about the color. I still can't believe I've only been pulled over once in over 3 years of having it, though!

Just swapped to RSR down springs and I honestly can't tell the difference aesthetically because there was such a massive gap before. I think my Mechanic just kept her all day and charged a ton for spring install without the springs haha. I'll do a quick photoshoot once they settle and she's detailed. Handling feels hella better! Recovery from cornering is so much better and ride quality feels like stock in sport+. I don't use the other modes so I can't really compare those.

The Downs are just a tad bit more aggressive than the F-sport springs if I remember correctly. The Superdowns are too low for me though. Driving to work is like an obstacle course with all the potholes and warped asphalt. Would hate to bottom out. I want that raked look though without getting too ambitious.

love that car. I only wish I could find a front spoiler for a 2023 that is similar to the one on your car.

thanks man. Yeah I really wanted a lip kit without the flares/fins, but something flat the whole way. Wanted to accentuate the lines of the car. No disrespect to anyone who has those kinds of kits. Just not for me. I absolutely love the front clip on the facelifted models though.
