Poker- great mods and pics!

Can you give some insight on your bright whites, which ones replaced, where bought, and maybe even the process of replacing?

ALso can you do a video that a little bit farther away from the car, maybe 5-10 feet ( kinda like if you were in a different car lengths away) thanks

The car looks good. SL's look much better lowered... and they handle better as well.

The only thing that you are missing is our ECU and pulley!

I replace both the day time driving lights and side marker lights with 168 wedge super white bulbs from Polarg. Then I replace the license plate bulbs with Polarg M28 Super White Light Bulbs. Finally, I change out the fog lights with PIAA 9006 Intensive White bulbs.

As for the video, Murtaz has a video already. Do a search bro.

I knew I was going to get slack for those, but they were cheap and in my eyes look pretty clean. I'll probably upgrade in a few years.

Got the Roof Module from http://www.emotormania.com/

You need the STMB module. It's really easy to install except the ground wire. Do what I did and connect to the screw that is right in front of you. Trust me, you'll know what I'm talking about when you open it up.

BTW, I'm from Houston.

I sent you a PM, but we can make this fairly painless. We have travelled to clients, as well as coordinated shops around the country to handle work such as pulling ECUs, changing pulleys, installing Brembo's...

Not really knowing the ins and outs of actually making this happen can be daunting, but we have done it enough times and have developed a reliable network of people to help our clients, so that they have confidence in what is happening and the process is as painless as possible.
