Wow awesome trip! I'm glad I'm not the only one who posts stuff in their thread that has NOTHING to do with their car
The toilet rules and the Windows pants = wtf

...and yes, I was taking a leak (not on the floor) when I took that "toilet rules" pic. Fortunately I didn't drop my iPhone in the urinal.

More parts to add to the spring install list!
Ichiba V2 15mm & 25mm spacers:
So far the list of parts piling in my house is:
- ebay roof spoiler
- 3k HID fogs
- LaminX yellow fog film
- Platinum amber 1157 LED turn signals
- VLED 921 reverse lights
- 15/25mm Ichiba V2 spacers
- Redline 3x3
- 3/4th gear pressure switches
- Ingalls rear camber kit
Coming before spring:
- Dom's nav2go
- PIE X3
- Ingalls front camber kit
After I get all that installed, I think my TL will be close to done...maybe.

If you like veggies, Vietnam is your paradise. There are so many vegetables they have that you can't find here and even the veggies that we have don't taste the same. For example, basil in Thailand and Vietnam looks and tastes a lot different than the basil you find in grocery stores in the States. Celery is another good example...

i'm a basil fanatic. unfortunately last year i didn't get enough from the garden we have to dry more, and only have about a tablespoons worth left in a tupperware container
i'm going to remember this though, Vietnam has always looked extremely beautiful to me...iirc they have a lot of temple ruins don't they?

Thailand is known for their temple ruins in Ayutthaya. I think there are some in Vietnam also, but I'm not familiar with them.
I wish I would've bought some Windows pants...I thought there was some Bill Gates clothing line that I didn't know about, but I think the Windows pants are just one of those strange Asian inventions.

Just threw in one of my V-LED's 1157 Platinum series bulbs to test them out. Not exactly what I was expecting because I thought they would be significantly brighter than halogens. In actuality, they are only marginally brighter, if not, the same brightness as traditional halogens. On a good note, the color of them perfectly matches the front sidemarkers, unlike the halogens. Also, you get the "cool" LED blink that halogens don't offer. Other than that, I'm a bit disappointed and I may be a hypocrite and try a set of switchbacks and see how I like them. Here are some pics and vids (in all pics/vids, the V-LED bulb is on the passenger side and the stock halogen is on the driver's side):

The game is changing...just ordered a set of 120 SMT switchbacks and white-LED USR sidemarkers.

my opinion would be, keep these....and sell em when those come out.....will let you know when they will be coming out

^Thanks for the info. If it's going to be a few months, I'll just stick with what I have.
I just went through your teaser thread. Looks like there'll be a lot of people buying those if USR can tweak the sidemarkers the right way. I'm going to keep my rear sidemarkers red and only change the fronts to white so they match the switchbacks I have on order. It sucks that USR makes you buy a set of 4 instead of having the option to buy just the front pair or the rear pair. Oh well, I'll be throwing the rear ones in the BM forum when they arrive.

from where did you buy your switchabacks and did you get v1 or v2? I just bought mine and a pair of vanity lights from autoluminations. Have any pointers on how to pop out the lens w/o breaking anything for the vanity lights?
And I do agree on the disappointment of the amber leds they do look a lot like oem bulbs

I got the vanity lenses off with a butter knife. As long as you aren't super rough with them, they should pop off pretty easily without breaking.

Yeah, I want one but I don't want to have to carry around another key fob. Who installed yours? I got a quote from CNY Solar Protection on Teall Ave a while ago before I realized I'd need another key fob...they seem pretty knowledgeable.

I have a buddy out this way, Central Ave, Albany, that installs remote starters among other things. He used to be an installer at Circuit City, but now does them from his shop at home. I can hook you up with contact info if you would like. He uses Compustar starters, and it replaces your stock fob. The stock one will still work, but the start remote has all the functions of the OEM one. Granted its a drive, but hes legit, and reasonable cost.

Thanks also for this info. I just checked out their website and it looks like they offer a bunch of different remote start options. I like the idea of the ones that use smartphone apps to start the car, but if it's anything like the OnStar app that I use for my wife's Traverse...there's a huge delay between the time you press lock/unlock on the phone and the time it actually happens.
