With those 22+ you either hate or love em. I love my CBIs wouldn't trade them for anything right now unless I upgrade the ballast and bulbs to 55w, those should be pretty nice.

Take a look here for any interior lights you may need.

I see a brand of bulbs I had heard of the Philips, but I guess I had not heard that before. Thanks for the information.

Check out www.superbrightleds.com . Do a search for WLED-G6 and it should be the first link that you come to. They are a 194 bulb with 6 LEDs. From the pictures I've seen, they are pretty decent for 6 LEDs. Not too bright, not too dim.

I actually just ordered some of these Pineapple, they should be in by Friday. I'll let you know they turn out and you can see if you want to order some then. I went with WLED-CW6 for the dome/interior and went with a WLED-G6 green bulbs for my doors.

If these look good, I'm going to look into changing my footwell lighting to green to compliment my door lights.

Just switched out my stock air filter for an K&N drop in filter, slightly better throttle response & the stock intake seems a tab more free-flowing. Been kind of undecided if I should or not but I'm glad I made the change .

Just picked up my Mini today! Laser blue with a black top and black wheels.

She needs new tint because what's on there is shit and it's not dark enough for Texas. The previous owner put on some mods that I'm going to have to un-do. He put a crappy intake on that's basically just a cone filter on the stock intake making it a hot air intake (yay for horsepower!). He put on a boost diverter that basically is just a noise maker that's going to have to go, way to Fast N Furious for me. Laser Blue tow-hook, already removed. The cat-back Invidia can stay though... :devilgrin

I changed my oil and my cabin air filter already. When we get snow in the forecast or close to it my snow shoes go on. Then she will hibernate until spring. unless I need to use it. But I will be doing some mods during that time.

As far as I've seen, there isn't really a "pack leader" here, more so people tossing out ideas and others agreeing/disagreeing with them for meets and what not.

Did you have anything in mind?

I have been here for a long time and we just set things up it would great if we all make it. Some of us sometimes can't make it a full day but at least part of the meet. By the way welcome.

I'll definitely have to see it then! You have pretty much the mods I'd like to have done by next summer (A-Spec lip, lowered, wheels, roof and trunk lip spoiler)

My SSM used to be a DD until I got my winter car. I loved driving my SSM in the winter.
