'08 ASM's Day Out
'08 ASM's Day Out
Took the time to do a couple add-ons today. Nothing big.
Carbon Fiber Inlay Door Handle Trim
It's just the regular chrome inlay kit, but I hate chrome so I removed the double-sided tape, wrapped them in 3M CF film, and applied new tape. Extremely tedious but a nice accent. Sorry I couldn't get a clearer shot.
TBL Decal
Also a bugger to install. The cleft inside the "A" has a mind of its own so I kept peeling it up and smoothing it out until it laid right.
Sideskirt Courtesy Lights
Lot of trial and error on this one. You wouldn't believe how butchered the skirts are underneath. Luckily, Oznium was at my disposable for all my lighting needs. First I had blue surface-mount LED bars but it looked to riced for me, so returned those. Then installed hi-intensity floodlights which were freaking awesome but they have an ongoing issue with a factory defect so back to Oznium they went. Finally went with the Superflux LEDs which do the job and are the cheapest alternative.
Before anyone states the obvious, the rears are brighter than the fronts. It was getting dark, I was getting tired so I half-assed the connections on the front skirts. Gonna do them up right this weekend.

Thanx for all the comments, guys. Trying to do all the "quick and simple" mods I can find. Car hasn't made a year old yet & my wife is still in the "Why mess with a brand new car?" phase so no mods that drastically change the car just yet. She has no idea I had to drill holes into the skirts to install the lights, let alone removed the skirts from the car to do so. Lesson to you guys. Get the good paying job, spend to your hearts content, THEN get married.
