I hadn't put on my 15mm Front spacers yet, so the front wheels look a bit tucked in. You can see many other mods from this view.

Very nice. I never get tired of seeing black/dark wheels on SWP. Any side profile shots?

I was trying to match the low beams and fog lights in color. I upgraded the fogs first because they looked too yellowish compared to the factory HIDs. After the fogs were upgraded they made my factory HIDs look yellow..soooo I had to upgrade the HIDs

Replaced my Stage 2 Trunk LED with Diode Dynamic's Stage 4 LED Strip. The Stage 2 LED was good, but my sub was blocking too much of the light. The Stage 4 LED Strip was extremely easy to install. Thanks Diode Dynamics!

Haha, it's so much nicer in person! Gonna have to wait until tomorrow to install it though. I'll be sure to include some pics. The Gunmetal lockout looks really good with the Slammer. My camera couldn't really capture their true colors. They compliment each other extremely well!
