I am liking the fogs. I really like the look of the yellow. On and off but actual useable light output sucks.
After seeing this I am really contemplating going back to bright over looks nice.

Thanks Jeff! The liked the 3k fogs and yellow overlay when I had it on, but I just wanted to "clean" the front of the car up a little bit. After adding the switchbacks and white side marker lights, the yellow just didn't flow with it.

I know, it sucks just having them sitting all boxed up right now, but I guess good things come to those who wait. Or should I use patience is a virtue there? Lol!

[quote=The Machine;14210033]Ok Steven, get ready for a title update, lol.
So I have been a little busy over the couple months that my thread has been
Dude...I love your car...I have the OEM spoiler wing on mine (was on it when I bought the car) and that is the only thing I don't like. But it has the 4 holes where the wing mounts...I'm thinking have a body shop filled and paint thos hole and buy a lip spoiler.
One other question...you said your new wheels were "hyper black", they look silver to me?

Yeah you can always have the holes fixed and add a lip spoiler of your liking on the trunk.
The new rims are hyper black, well the spokes are anyway, but it's very subtle. They do look more like a silver color when you look at them from the crappy iPhone pics I took, but if you Google Images of them you'll see better pics and will see the difference between the hyper black and hyper silver in this model. Either color really looks great though!

Great thread, love how the car has progressed. You should consider Plastidip for the Oem wheels. I did mine in Gun Metal and was happy with the outcome. I dont have a thread for my car but then again I dont have many changes made like yours.
Great color also, wanted it but not many options when I was in need of purchasing my car, so I went with PMM.
Thanks for the reply on my exhaust thread.

Thank you sir!
I actually like the color of the oem wheels, but I'll have to do some searching and see what the oem wheels would look like plastidipped that color to see if I would like it or not against the WDP.
And no problem replying in your exhaust thread, that's what were are all here for.

Hey Chip - so those switchbacks you got off eBay are 5K you say? I'm going to be moving from 6K lighting to 5K lighting up front, and most of these eBay sellers don't seem to indicate 5K vs 6K. If yours are 5K and you like them, I'll probably have to order them up soon.

Yep, the switchbacks are from eBay. The seller I got mine from is maple125, here is a link to the exact ones I have: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TWO-7443-744...32f27b&vxp=mtr

Yep, during the day and at night especially they are super bright. I think people go overboard with the 120SMD ones. 60 Amber and 60 White are plenty visible.

Do you know why I took this picture?
My car, closest to the camera, doesn't have a spoiler. You have a small lip spoiler and then John's car has the OEM Type-S lip.
