Also I have updated my first post on this thread to make it a little cleaner!

Yeah I remember reading that in the DIY section. How are yopu finding the pully after install vs stock ?

I would agree with everyone that it certainly feels a bit more lively from 1-4k RPM. Also it drops revs a little quicker when down low. but I seem to have adopted to it quite well. The idle "bog" which people have reported (and I have a little of, on occasion) seems a little more obvious with this pulley. but I just blip the throttle if it is really annoying me and not going away on its own, which it usually does within a couple seconds of happening.

I am so happy I painted my tail, huge difference on a dark coloured car.

Completed my headlight retro fit tonight! Woo. Pictures coming soon (I'm on an iPad. Hard to do easily.)

I will get one up in a moment here.

I did get my lights from a member, I think I even linked to the sales thread or the member's user profile in my updated first page.

For a quick review - Interior and trunk lights are awesome (interior is really bright if you are short and actually SEE the leds. I don't cause I am too tall haha)

Reverse lights are actually pretty garbage, it is not the fault of the bulb, but of how the bulb fits into the reverse lights. I would not suggest single bulb CREEs but something that sends out light in all directions as the reverse housing is reflective and the bulbs point up into the housing, not straight out (where the CREEs would work best)

They are 6000k. So a little on the blue tint, which I love.

Ok, I'll probably be shooting for 5000k then since I like pure white. Thanks!

Yep if you want pure white, you want to get 4300k or 5000 (4300k is the OEM spectrum for almost all brands) :happy0180:

I'm glad to see you painted your tails red, been waiting to see a pic of how it looks on an asphalt to see whether I should do that to mine.
