Looks like a good, clean install. Not particularly my thing, but I respect it for sure. I like the idea of leaving the space for the reflector, too.

Can we get some high-res (non-camera phone) pics?

Edit: just read that you lost the memory card to your digi. Post pics when you can...

Yo, lol at that Hybrid thing...cool idea, but I just can't do that to the ride! Besides, I get over there anyway, but only when it's about 30 mins left tho! LOL!

I'll have to disagree with you there ... especially if the driver is even somewhat decent at driving stick

Yeah, my friend has a 6mt g35, and we are dead even. If he gets a clean launch, he takes me by half a car.

i thought 6mt g was 300 HP? 298, right? how could a TL keep up with that? 20horses just asking.. and i think it'd look weird with a cut out for the reflector.. and i dont know about smokin the back up lights.. how does it affect the brightness when you're trying to reverse in the dark?

doesn't affect it at all, besides i have 20% tint...backing up sucks reguardless of the tint. even with 300 horses you still gotta factor in driveline loss, gear ratios and weight, like i said...Wangan...not 1/4mile...

What LEDS are you using for your reverse lights? I'm looking to get a set since I replaced all my other bulbs with LED's from superbrightleds.

Thanks!
