Geez I feel awfully weak posting after some of the cars we have had lately lol.
I keep waiting for a nice day here, and it keeps not happening. But.....I have put my new summer rims on, changed rear spoiler etc, so figured I should put up at least some crappy photos.
Not to micromanage, but top shot I have black center caps, bottom two shots I have the red. Not sure which I prefer. I like the pop of red and the way it goes with the caliper, but the black makes the wheels look a lot darker. I have black emblems on hand that I need to install, some window chrome I want to wrap and tint I want to adjust blah blah blah but its getting there.
Bottom shot isnt even my place. I was just walking back to the car and thought "Damn baby, you look fine" and had to take a pic lol.
Looks awesome bro with the red caps & new trunk spoiler !!

Thank you both. You are two guys who I really respect for your knowledge, taste and the mods you've done so that means a lot to me.
I never thought about that ability to change up the look Mort, I like that!
Im sure I will have this car done by the time the warranty expires lol.

Looks great D. Black out window trim next?
If you're so inclined, think it would looks great with blacked out headlight housings too. I'm working on my HID retrofit project today, and I'm super happy with how the black satin has turned out.

That WOULD look really good! I would like to do that, but it looks kind of time intensive, and time is one thing I just don't have right now. Parental health issues etc. My time is not my own, lets say.
ABSOLUTE job one for me is fixing that tint. I HATE the way its limo in the back, factory in front. I want like 50 all round. While its in there Ill get them to do the window trim too. If I get some time Ill swap the emblems.
But now you have me thinking, lol.....yes, headlights could be on the growing list.
Was it hard to open the headlight. I would really like to get my housing blacked out

Nope. Just opened the other one up too, it's as easy as can be.
1. Preheat oven to 275F
2. Put headlight in for 7min
3. Take out (with gloves)
4. Put a small flathead screwdriver between the lens and housing in the corner, and pry lens from housing
Don't forget to take all the metal clips from around the outside of the lens (8) off first before putting in oven.
Seriously... How do I get the DRLs and the Cs to light up at the same time? I've spent AT LEAST 30 min trying to get it to work...
Use the headlight dial on the left of the steering wheel and turn it right until you see the green light come on the dash then pull the dial out towards you.

I was looking to get that spoiler...everyone seems to have the highback one, and barely anyone has this one. I know the car needs to be aggressive to match it, and yours looks great. What do you think of the spoiler?
Also I guess I'm the odd one out but I like the black caps better

pics of rear?
Think the spoiler is pretty darn good value, and it doesnt look really aggressive unless you are totally eyeballing it. I think the other ones look much bigger and more aggressive. Ill get a picture from the back.
And btw, not sure if I have mentioned it or not but two big thumbs up for the 3M stripe eraser wheel for taking adhesive off.
Yeah tug on it like you're pinching something and pulling it toward you.
Okay... I think I'm doing it wrong. That knob DOES NOT feel like it should be pulled outward. On top of that, my fingers keep slipping off of it. Someone, for the love of god, show me how to do this.... -__-
And I apologize in advance for my stupidity... It's just as embarrassing for me to post this question lol

+1 for more rear pics of the spoiler. I'm debating between that one and the large dtm one that everyone has but I don't want to be like everyone else.

+1 to rear shots of new spoiler. I also like the red center caps. Provides a nice contrast between the wheel color and caps.
