I had to have the licence plate LED's after realizing how dim and dreary the stock bulbs look.

Got a Diode Dynamics kit led's for licence plate, rear trunk, and dome light.

4000k (lowest setting) for licence plate looks nice, cleaner looking than stock bulb and not much brighter. If you're looking for bling bling then go for brighter or go for a different kit.

Trunk bulb (natural white) is great.

Dome light (natural white) is good, provides a nice lit tone at night.

I posted this on IG a while ago, but I think the size is crazy fun to see.



My buddy goes "The bike fits there."
I go "No problem, this car is teeny."

There's a "that's what she said" somewhere in there

Installed TOMs tails, and valenti rear/reverse light.







Also I realize that the left exhaust is a little bit lower...need to go mess with that rubber grommet.

I knew that valenti 3rd brake light would look good with the red TOMs.

Gonna have to buy one soon

If you're wiring to toms, the red wire from the valenti matches to the red on the toms, and the blue matches to the black, with white stripe(on the toms).

Did you open the valenti light up and re-wire it?

I tried to open it up and re-wire/solder it, then once I connected it with the taps it didn't light up at all . Think I ruined it

Installed my Carbon Fiber Driveshaft and swapped over to Neo Synthetic RHD gear oil in the transmission with the new PAR gear set. Also got around to making a small video of 1st thru 6th gear pull with the new gear set.

I wish, I just have different set of priorities and a situation that allows me to spend more money than usual on my car.

I like it, it's hard to give a real review other than it works right now due to being at stock power levels and also doing it after I also changed my transmissions gearing along with a solid transmission mount and billet clutch fork. Everything I have done has completely changed the way the car feels when driving it, but with it all being done it's a completely different car, and in my opinion a much more enjoyable driving experience from an enthusiast standpoint.
