Switchbacks are led lights that are white when on regularly then switch back to amber when put you indicators on.

I gotta tell you...i am nervous ......I live in Dayton ohio....not alot of shops to choose from....this is only shop that acted like they new what I was talking about.....they didnt ask any questions? I purchased parts and dropped off to them- so not much protection on my part if parts broken or "misplaced"- and my wife would kill me if the car was somehow damaged....

supposed to pick up today at 5...hope to have some picks by 7....raining here all day

Well...the shop didn't finish until 11 am Sunday morning....they took it to get alignment and I picked it up at 6 pm that night. Everything in spec except rear camber -3.1 and should be -1.5 ish. they couldn't adjust it any more because the shop had it slammed and would start rubbing lip. I went to buddy's house and we jacked it up and adjusted the coil-overs to 1 finger gap in front and very little to no gap in rear. Oh and found they drilled 2 holes, 1 on each rear bumper skin 4" behind wheel well lip!!!! Yes there are 2 very small holes where they drilled to mount the rear oem body kit but drilled too high!!! Keep in mind I have not paid for any of this work yet!!!! Had to leave for NC early Monday morning returned thursday and haven't had time to go back to shop....the rear is making noise- a rattle/knock when medium to high speed and going over bumps.

I also took clay bar to car and detailed it. Then received and installed rear red tint and front smoke tint- looks good! It has been raining all day so couldn't take pics.

Oh yea...almost forgot....I received my painted and modified front grill and 2 lower grills and the bottom edge of the upper grill "beak" was broken out of the box. Filed claim. Purchased new front grill assembly and had shipped to Nexson to paint. He is working on it this weekend then will ship to me and I will disassemble add the racemesh and reassemble and install. The front end will look amazing I hope everyone likes it!

Your car looks great! Just purchased a 2010 and will pick up this week. Planning on some of the same things you have done. If it looks anything close to how yours is turning out I will be very happy. Keep posting!

It's funny nobody has given you hell for tinting the headlights like they did me! LOL. Love the look. I'm in Cincinnati and would love to get a first-hand look at it some day and bend your ear on the coil overs, etc.

I want to color match my grille and black out the badges, etc, like you've done as well.

PM me if interested in catching up someday...maybe meet somewhere toward the middle.
