Ya, was just an orange car joke.
If I had any other colour at all it would have been the very first thing that was changed!
As it is I saved a few bucks 'cuz in reality they are almost invisible on the lava.

That is pretty awesome. Being in a HOA, this would be perfect for me since I can't put the car outside to work on it.Anyways, I ordered the Rexpeed Wide Angle mirrors today. Loved the blue tint and I hate blind spots.

Yes, two frames for lifting... here's a video of the lower capacity and not as beefy BL-3500 version:

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzFk30ifCnA"]QuickJack BL3500 by Ranger BendPak - YouTube[/ame]

Now I can do the bumper/exhaust and diffusor mods I've been waiting to do... along with super easy maintenance for tires and brakes.

I will say Ranger provides a subpar hydraulic lines and fittings for a hydraulic system...had to quick fix their poor choice of fittings just to be able to use the device (epoxied all fitting interfaces because of massive leaks from all connections). They use threaded fittings with NO compression sealing mechanisms, the threads are being used as the mechanism to seal the hydraulic lines...

Made in China...you get what you pay for.

Guilty pleasure for late night driving, Red LED's in FRS

Ordered 4 red led strips for 6 bucks of eBay and some 99 cent switches.
Installed some night time driving mood lighting. Used two switches one for driver and one for passenger.

Put them where the heated seat buttons go with a yospeed center console piece.

Test fitting it first to make sure it works, then going to paint match it. Sucks for SWP owners, Halo is much darker.



Might write up a DIY if I'm not lazy.
Do you prefer the stock 2015 sharkfin design over any of the beatsonic sharkfins? I think the stock sharkfin is simple and clean but I kinda prefer beatsonic's designs for a bit a bit more styling on the sharkfin. I was thinking of ripping out the 2015 stock one for a beatsonic one instead.
