Tanks bro! i was thinking about the led... but ive always had yellow so its kinda hard to give it up. Gonna get yellow HID's for the fogs. The weathertech visors are great though, i like them cause i like driving with the windows down a bit when it rains. The SH-AWD is staying for now hahah till i come up with something clever for it or take it off completely haha

I was doubtful at first at how the visors would look, but now that I see the pics they look good.
Your debadge is nice.

the visors look good! but i still cant get it out of my head that it just tucks under.. unlike some of the oem visors that have actual mounting clips..

anyways good job..

i actually like the Canadian bumpers with the front washers.. they give out this certain look that i like.

thanks, i get what you mean but theyre secure you kinda have to bend them and put them in on an angle. If the windows are down and you tug on them they dont move. I hear you on the front washers, im surprised why the usdm models dont have them :s

Car looks amazing ! Curious on what % your tint is, I usually go really dark but I was thinking of keeping it lighter this time. I have also been searching for pictures of a 4g with window visors, love the look !
