Nice progress! Your car looks great! What's next?
I remember seeing your car at the Great Falls meet earlier this year. Both of our cars have come quite a ways since that meet!

I have a 'check list' [part of the progress list] and I feel 'accomplished and happy' when I move one item from 'To Do' to 'Done'.... but once I look at the numbers I start to think 'why, oh why?!
' But I look at my TL and she makes everything alllllll right.

Congrats!
The rear lip looks a bit low on the bumper though and your A-Spec badge is up too high from where it's supposed to be.

Nothing beats German engineering..
I'm gonna be getting tint real soon, but I'm not sure what percent to get yet. It's going to be the same percent all the way around. Either 45%, 40%, or 35% all the way around. Anything below 50% on the front windows is illegal in Virginia
. I want 35% but don't wanna have to worry about getting pulled over all the time. Also has anyone tried these before?

Looking good, PLAYA!
I used V-LEDs panels in my front domes. For all of the rest, you can use the wedge type bulbs--I have 12LED Wedge bulbs from superbrightleds.com, but you can get them from other vendors, too.
