FWIW, I'd get it a tune for about $300 clams.(or you can spend almost $300 and get a SB and think you're fast)
Car looks a LOT like my C32 in all black. Looks good. I see you're in IL. Where abouts???

Sounds good to me I've been wanting to see that Kleeman for a while...weekend or weekday? Next week looks good. I'm usually free Fri nights after 7/8pm thru Sunday

+1 ^.
I got mine from AZN Optics too. It doesn't throw any errors. Seems to be of good quality but I cannot comment on its longevity yet since I only had the bulb for 3 weeks (and I only use the car on weekends). Get the 5000K version if you want the color that will match our bi-xenons the closest.
It's not a perfect match, but it's not bad at all as you can see from the pic in the first page.
Some things to note on installation: The festoon bulb mounts loosely on the lens/cover, so make sure that the LED part is STILL facing down when you mount the lens covers back to the contact points (especially when installing with the trunk open). And before you screw the lens/cover back, test first if it's lighting up since there's a 50/50 chance that you got the polarity backwards.
I'll try to take pictures tonight.

I just did the tips today. I can't believe I spent two hours just buffing those 4 tips! I had to use #0000 steel wool and some metal polish to get rid of that nasty carbon build-up. Lots of elbow grease involved.
They're nice and shining like new now!

Great car, absolute beauty!! I'd only have black cars if I had the time or a live-in car detailer. Can't believe the bargain you got. Paid premium for mine in 2006. Enjoy.
