Yeah I hate the plasti dip now, I'm slowly getting rid of it. The only thing dipped is the mirror signals, rims, and the rear license plate bar. All will be redone and thanks!

What bulbs do you have in your license plates?

42 SMD LEDs. They just barely fit in the housing.

The plate lights are a bitch to get clipped back in so I took pics of my dome lights which are the same bulbs:

It was a gorgeous day out today so I decided to do a bit more work on my car. Finished up the grille and did the intake resonator delete:

Biggest quote I have ever seeeeeeeeeeen!! Edit that shit while you still can! ahah

I first had LED fogs. White 18 SMD LEDs. Don't get those because they only look bright when looking at the front, there's no light output at all. Can't even tell they're on unless you can see a reflection of the front, or you look down on the dash to see the foglight light haha.

Next was 6000k HIDs. Ordered them from Hong Kong, $30 shipped. No relay and no flicker for me. You can find a variety of the kits on eBay so just search around. Definitely recommend HIDs, the output is amazing.

I have 10000k HIDs in now, but I haven't updated this thread. My avatar has them installed so you can see

And thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it!

Planned on doing suspension first, but my summer tires were completely bald so I went with a new set up instead. I'll eventually be getting coilovers, so hope you don't mind the stock height haha
