"Hey Leedogg, why dont you go stand behind the car so I can test out the accuracy of this backup camera......OOPS"

Oooh I like the lights. I'm thinking about taking mine apart. Did you have to tape off the chrome part and spray it black? Flat Black, Semi-Black, what kind of paint did you use? I like how it makes the two light stand out.

The rest of the car looks sweet too, including you. And I haven't been drinking.

A friend of mine did the lights but he used 3M Semi glossy car paint and then baked it for 15 extra minutes after it dried to cure the paint

Thanks for the compliments, Ive got a few more things coming

Are the stock yellowish blinkers not bright enough? My plan was to give Rego sports a call to have them do my lights. If you can collaborate more on the color (pics if possible) I would greatly appreciated.

Very nice list of mods!

I don't see the KPTechnologies auto window up mod in there. Whats up with that? Did you REALLY return it?

About the Blitzsafe audio adapter, is the the DMX (aux in) or the MLink (with iPod integration)?

So were all these mods DIY? Or did you have jmbnova, leedogg, or a shop do them for you?

At any rate, impressive ride considering you got your car around the same time I did.

You sure have a lot of extra spending money for a med student! My mods are coming.. slowly.. but surely.

Keep up the awesome work!

Window Mod is bought but Im not brave enough to attempt it yet.

leedogg? hahahahahah hilarious. Jmbnova did install my CAI and Tail light tint though.

Med Student with A average = Lots of scholarships = Money for mods! Imnot sure about which Blitzsafe it is...the new one and I didnt care if it had IPod since I wouldnt ever use that in my car now that I have MP3 capabilities

Yeah I got my car Dec 30th so basically 5 months ago

Car looks great! You're making me want to clear my headlights but the process seems so involved.

I think I'm in the wrong profession. I need those scholarships .
