Those JDM DRL are awesome. Do you have both the DRl's on the headlights and the bumper on now? Are they foglights as well? Im guessing you got the premium trim since I dont see fogs.

Yes, I tapped into the DRL lighting on the headlights.

And... look closely, you can see the foglights - I actually covered the lenses with black vinyl so they'd blend into the trim and make it look like the Premium trim. Since you couldn't tell, I'd say "mission accomplished"

Random question but what're the side skirts that you've got?

You can see it wobble from side to side ..I was told it's normal from other members just a few moments ago

Thanks anyways
Sorry, I meant tensioner pulley, my mistake.

RCE Yellow Springs
SPC Rear control arms
SPC front camber bolts
Apex ARC-8 17x9 ET42
Continental DWS06 245/40/17
Couldn't get the front camber where I wanted with the bolts due to strut clearance. Looks like camber plates are in my future.

Looks awesome! If you're going to do camber plates with the RCE springs, I'd recommend trying to hunt down some of the HVT non-raising plates.

I like the smoked side markers. I have some ready to go on as well. Thinking about cracking open my headlights to take out the chrome boomerang as well.

Thanks! And thanks for the tip on the plates. Smoked side markers are the way to go on SWP.

I saw some pics of the '17 headlights de-chromed, it looked great. I'm not too keen on opening them up myself yet though.

Got excited that I was gonna be able to install my side markers today. Opened the package. I guess I won't be installing my side markers today.

Do you have a link to a picture of a de-chromed 17 headlight? I haven't been able to find one.
