Mod progress

I just took some pics of the engine cover/ airbox and of the new led parking lights I installed. If only imageshack would work for me at the moment. My side markers are clear but the bulbs that were "extreme white" arent lol, any suggestions? As for rims, I thought of 19s all around, but I heard 18s in the front may make it look sportier and still allow proper turn width. Any suggestions on other mods?

waiting for the pics

Do not go 18" front and 19" rear. It would look very stupid instead of sportier. It would also throw off your speedo even more since the front and rear are not close in overall diameter.

You should have suspension, wheels, bodykits, and exhaust on your mod list.

I was thinking the same, i got the 6Led blue bulbs. I want something with a slight blue tint almost somthing like extreme white, but bluish. Whats the easiest way to get to the fog lights? As for the leds, which ones did mtechnik use that had a slight blue, was it a 5 led or 1 led?

to get to the foglights you'll have to turn the wheels side way, take out the fender well and get your hands in there. there's no other easy way.
