Great add with the Aspec front lip. Mine came with the full lip kit. It definitely adds to the car.I haven't been on TYF in a while but still have my Denali. Picked up a GS350 a month ago because gas was killing me in the city with the 6.2. Do you still have your eskonali?

Finally loaded pics of my brakes on to the computer so I figured I'd post them up. I saw a pic of grey calipers on here and I liked it so I copied them. The rears I just did all silver for now. I'd like to get a rear BBK to match...

Not sure if I like the graphite color or not. Gonna role like this for a little bit and if I don't like it, I'll get them powder coated silver...

Look like Vossen CVTs. The graphite looks good, but I think I would prefer silver.

Crazy, those are nearly identical to the Vossens. Does the other side reverse the spiral, or is one rotating forward and the other backward?

Exaclty. And at less than half the cost
The only difference is these aren't directional. So it is reversed.
Overall, I don't like the graphite so I'm going to figure out what's next. Could powdercoat/paint these silver or just get the CVTs in silver.
I also really like this style wheel in black with a machine/silver spoke like this so I might end up doing this with these current ones. It's basically like my Rohona RC10's but twisted...

While I was on vacation, some parts came in.
All 4 of the chrome moldings were flaking off on the front and rear bumper as well as the lower portion of the grill so those came in.
Also my NavTool came in.
Going to try to get the NavTool in today, but we leave tomorrow morning to go out of town again until Monday. While I'm gone, my H&R lowering springs and new KYB struts will be installed and car realigned. I also ordered some chrome bulbs for the turn signals and LEDs for the reverse bulbs that should be here soon.

Picked up my rims from powdercoat over the weekend. VERY happy with how they turned out.
Been raining though, so no pics yet. I'll get some up sometime within a day or two...

So I tore apart the center console to add an LED bulb to it, and while I was in there I added a USB outlet. I removed the cig lighter port and added a USB port. Everything uses USB now anyways, and it's looks like it could completely be OEM (cause it is from a different vehicle).
Here's the LED bulb (T74 bulb)
On
Off
and with the USB plug open
and a couple pics of the connector

They are GM parts that come in Silverado's, Yukon's, etc.
USB Cover plug - 20973937
USB Receptacle - 20944422
Then you can kinda just make it fit. I put the same thing in my brothers Jeep and a few other non GM vehicles.
Not sure if I can link to other forums, but here's where I modified it for the dash of my Yukon

Great thread. Can't wait to see the JDM headlights on. One of my headlights is damaged so I think I will also do the JDM HL. Did you work out the issue with the signal wiring? Did you find a good how to?

Haven't messed with the JDM headlights since I got them. I actually put them for sale on this site if anyone wants them.
