The light output isn't that bad, but I will get brighter LED's just to be on the safe side.

Beautiful job and thanks for taking time to post and share info. I picked up my Raven from Lake City Scion/Toyota in Seattle on Jan 19, 2013. Keeping it for a sunny day car so needless to say not getting many miles on it yet here in the NW. Those 19's looked badass new wheels are sharp too. Could you tell a difference going the lighter 18's?

@mlind - Congratulations on the Raven! Thanks for the compliments and yes, huge difference between the heavy 19's and the super light 18's. Huge difference.

UPDATE - Sold the Five:AD kit and looking for the next mods.
I'm definitely going to vinyl wrap and still haven't decided the color for sure. If I go Matte Orange I think it will bug me that the interior has red accents and will ultimately cost more money to add seat covers and change out any red stitching pieces. I am currently leaning towards Matte Red or the old standby of Matte Black. The Satin Black wraps have my eye but may be a bit too shiny. Matte Metallic Blue would be cool but I think another local may be thinking about doing that color. Ugh, decisions decisions. Matte Red  Satin Black Matte Blue Metallic  As far as aero goes I'm currently torn between the APR lip kit, the Rexpeed lip kit or the Downforce lip kit. I really like the Varis Arising I kit but fear the freight costs from Japan may make it unreasonable. Another contender is the C-West half lip kit but it appears that they have not started production of it and can't release any pricing information. It seems as if any of the aero from Japan is a big crap shoot on how much it will really cost and you won't be totally informed until it hits stateside and you get the final bill. Either way I go I will want it to be functional aero since tracking this car soon is my goal. That said, I may just scrap the idea of new aero for now and buy a helmet and some chassis mods instead and start hitting the track. Open to thoughts and opinions.

So I made up my mind and pulled the trigger on the color change. In two weeks my car will no longer be black! Can't wait to start the process!
Also ordered Beatrush Type 1 & Type 2 braces, smoked crystal JDM side markers, and while in AZ I picked up some Pentosin for the Tranny and am going to grab Motul 300 for the rear diff and going with Eneos Oil for the engine.

Installed. There's some slop in the bracket to brace out of the box so if anyone purchases these make sure to tighten the large bolts (17mm socket).

Starting to peel off the areas I don't want dip. It looks really good.
