Yeah I usually let mine hang too. It is too much work to sheath it.

Thanks Steven...yeah, it was green/pink/gold/silver or blue...I went with the only color I have in my theme! Black wouldn't have been reflective! 
LOL...I got contrast alright.
Thank you, Anil! Very nice of you to say, as always. I will one day put up a good picture of my car looking super dirty. It's actually pretty dirty now...but I hide it with shadowy pictures and if you keep NBP very well waxed, it reflects so well that you actually end up hiding the dirt in the the reflectivity.
Pollen = Flower Skeet

So what's next Jeremy? I can't give your title an update without a car mod. And no, the sunscreen doesn't count either!

I guess there's ALWAYS something next, huh?!
Well, contemplating a slightly larger Broadway mirror with the blue film over it to cut glare etc. Just need to decide if I want to go with a slightly larger size that might be a problem with the new covercraft.
And, I received something from USR today, but it's ninja status until I can see if it'll work.
Anil, I didn't even intend it! Ok fine...I'll get a shitty picture of my shitty dirty car at some point! THERE!

USR = Underground Strobe Racing. He ordered the deluxe unmarked car kit. J, I know you're putting a couple of the red and blue strobes in the front grill, but what about the rears...you going to retrofit them into the reverse lights, or are you just going to paste them up in the rear windshield?? Can't wait to see the final product! AZ Police.....whooop whooop!

I'm not sure this is the right place for it, but figured I'd post up a quick DIY for a great new product from Unique Style Racing (Simon is the contact there).
I'd heard recently that he'd been working on an LED module that had an attached resistor/load to work as a DRL for the 07-08 crowd and avoid any error codes etc. I contacted him in hopes that he's make an application for us 3G'ers that had the DRL module attached. I'd long ago gotten tired of the yellow Nokya look for my DRL's, especially when I put in my white switchbacks. I wanted a bulb that would match pretty closely.
Well here is the solution...pretty close to a 6000K white IMO...and looks great and best of all...works FLAWLESSLY with the DRL module I bought from autobarn about 3 years ago.
Thanks again for all your hard work, Simon and I hope this does trigger some interest for other 04 to 06 TL'ers out there.
Even if you DON'T have a DRL module, this will allow you to run an LED bulb at full wattage...
Here's what you receive:
I bought the external mini fuse and added a 30amp fuse for safety
guessed how much extra wiring I needed and soldered it up...
bulb wired and working!
Ok, and wiring polarity was reversed for these but they still plugged in, just line up your red wire with your oem NON black wire
and the bulb base was slightly thinner so to ensure a tight fit, I used some plumbing teflon tape to make it thicker and to keep it snug
wired up the positive wire from both wires from the box to the positive of the battery and then popped in some double sided tape and installed the resistor portion
and here is the before
and the after
and all buttoned up
from a distance

and some more shots...went out with the DSLR and new filter, but got rained out
new ass shot...
AND THIS IS EXACTLY THE LOOK I WAS GOING FOR. Was so over the yellow in the headlights...had a yellowish hue when off, which I didn't like...and it would clash when my DRL module was on and the parking lights. Now, it's perfection...thanks again USR!
(I also have a kill switch for my DRL module in case I want to be blacked out)
SNAKE EYES...

Why thank you, fellas...
I never thought I'd have anyone agree with me on the wing spoiler, so thank you!
I was tempted to figure out swapping out but then I'd have the exact same look as so many people with a lip spoiler/roof spoiler.
