SSM Sexy Silver Metallic and LED Setup
Finally got some decent pics to put up after a good wash and wax. Now I'm just saving up some $ for a set of rims
Mods listed in sig
I know someones gonna say they dont like the blue in the corners and roadlamps... Its not really that blue, they're white LEDs... just turning up that way in some of the pics. Details of light setup after the pics....
10 mins of brasso to polish off 7 years of crap from the exhaust tips
Closest pic I've got to what the setup looks like at night
With the turn signal flashing
So here's the light setup to answer any questions ahead of time:
HID lights - OEM
Side Marker Light (small wedge bulb where the reflector used to be) - White LED
Corner light / Turn signal - Chrome bulb but blocked off one prong w/ electrical tape so it only comes on for signal and not with the lights
Roadlamps - 5-Led Wedge bulb (4 pointed around, 1 forward)
And LEDs everywhere else (9-LED in dome light, 6-LED in map lights, courtesy lights, glove box, trunk, and license plate)
Comments Praise and Criticism appreciated!

car looks really good. for once someone is throwing on some tire polish for thier pics! i would take off that mesh grille. it looks too ricey and homemade. the only pic it looks good in is the 3/4 shot where the sun is catching it perfectly, other than that you either see right through it (cant tell its there) or it looks like a cheap overcover. other than that i love your car

They seem to allow ordering a specific amount.
Thanks!
