damn no one has posted in this thread since 2010 lol..feel like i'm bringing it back from the dead...but i just had to say man i love all your small Mods! my wallet feels lighter already. Got a few questions for you.

1) How is the CF dash kit working out? is it fading at all? Do you wax it to keep it new looking?
2) How many TLs badges did you buy? lol they must be expensive
3) Also, how are the Audi style LEDs in your head light working? are they still going strong or have you had to replace them?
4) Where did you buy the Illuminated door sills?

THANKS! LOVE your car...i wanted this color or NPB so bad...but i ended up with a CBP cuz i waited like 7 months for a good deal on the colors i liked but couldn't pass up the CBP cuz it was in such a sweet condition.

IMO Audi lights should stay on the Audi.

LOL...Thanks BB! Yea, the little things make a lot of difference.

1-the Carbon Fiber dash kit is still awesome-no fading, no waxing either. It still looks as good as the day I got it.

2-I found many of the Type S badges on Ebay, so they were not to expensive. I bought 5 extra badges (2 for the front side markers, one for the engine cover, one for the trunk and one for the Dead Pedal

3-the LED's in the headlights are fantastic. I still get comments about them all the time. I did have to replace one strip in the driver's side headlight, but the passenger side is going strong and shows no sign of failure.

4-bought the door sills from another member. But you can hit up Super Computers. He might have some left!

Thanks for the love on the car! Your CBP is a classy color, not a slight on the color.



For Orange-dude, I LOVE the Audi-style headlights. I get compliments on them a lot. bforbrian's car was the inspiration for it. It's possibly my favorite mod.

Sorry for commenting on such an old thread. I love them man! look dope as sh*t. I'm installing Tube LED's as I feel like they look more sleek, but hey, to each their own.

I had one question though, when splicing into the green wire, did you connect both wires together then connect it? (like from the driver side LED and passenger side)

I'm doing this tomorrow and am nervous as to how I'm going to wire it up. I do want them on all the time.

and regarding the amber light, i have an 05, can I just take off the yellow shield and leave it be without putting switch backs, or will I need to order them?

Thank you if you reply!

Wow Yaseen-you dug deep for this thread! Thanks for the kudos...I still love them to this day.

I can't remember exactly how we connected the green wire-it's been so long ago. I would connect them, see if they work and then secure them down.

On your amber lights, the Type S lights are different than your '05's. But yes, you can take out the yellow plastic piece and leave it out. But the bulb is white-the amber plastic piece makes it yellow. So you're going to need switchback eventually.
