Thank you, Ymerej.

Today I received the chrome plated license plate frames. They look pretty good (sheesh, my precious needs a bath!).

Received and installed pre-cut Lamin-X yellow vinyl tints for the headlights this past weekend.

...What an absolutely frustrating experience! I spent 3hrs trying to get smooth, flat coverage over the headlights, but the angular and bulbous parts of the headlight made it impossible and ended up with lots of bubbles and wrinkles/fingers. :cry:

So now I need to schedule some time a pro tint installer and have them do it stead (along with smoke tinting the taillights).

Now with the tinted yellow headlights and the ultramarine color, the overall dynamic of the car is different...Don't know if shiny silver wheels fits this dynamic, might have to rethink something darker like the Rota Grids in hyper black.

Busy boy today, ordered:
* Helix LED side-markers in Dark smoked.
* Valenti Jewel LED tail lights also in Dark smoked.

Also considering the TRD springs.

I would love to see updated pics after the wheel install....:cheers:

Bought a couple of extras for best fit and some color matching:
* 73 to 56.1 plastic hub rings
* Mutaki "Chrome Yellow" lugs (almost perfect match for the yellow tinted headlights).

Here's a front angle shot, unfortunately the flash diluted the yellow headlight tints so it's hard to see that the lugs and headlight tints match up very well.

And finally, a gratuitous ass shot to show some of my car-tatts and the dark smoke Valentis.

Great looking lights, front and rear!

Ordered the Raceseng Ashiko shift knob today. Together with the Beatsonic red lockout, it'll look like this:

Can't wait!

Also received my OFT and installed the beta Stage1 93octane map that I tweaked with the Crawford BPB settings.

Ashiko installed. MAN!...It's like putting a wrecking ball on your shifter! This thing is a hefty beast!

Nice we have similar goals, get the oem armrest you will love it!

Namuna 10-07-2014 01:10 PM

Valentine1 Radar Detector ordered. Not sure why I didn't already have a Radar Detector in the list, this IS a sports car and I would like to continue getting the mods on it that I want (instead of paying out that money to fines).
