Swapped the cabin, door, and trunk lights with LEDs. De-badged the trunk. Installed a dashcam, which was surprisingly easy to run behind the glove box and up the A-pillar. Still haven't driven the damn thing with all the snow.

Which ones did you go with, if I may ask?

Started my MCS install. Knocked out the fronts last night in about 2 hours

I just picked up some 194 (5 SMD tower) LEDs from SuperBrightLEDs. Took about 5 minutes to swap them all.

Turned off fake engine noise. Improved the connection with the car to me, knowing the sound it is generating.

I installed eye loops in the trunk to be able to tie things down. I hate the sound of things sliding around in the car which happens a lot with spirited driving. I got the trunk organized here:

Are these clip wholes threaded ? How to the hook hold ? Looks sharp !

No, they are the Wheel Well Liner Retainer Clips. I looked over a week for a threaded clip that would fit, but nothing worked, so I just got a 1/4 x 2 inch bolt that threads into the stock retainer clips. They hold great. You can even unscrew the bolts and put back the center stock pin without an issue.

I got the bolts here at Ace Hardware

Here are Wheel Well Liner Retainer Clips if you need more.

This is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Installed the Grimmspeed Strut Tower Bar, which works in conjunction with the factory braces to make it a complete triangle.

Panda Grahams · 01-08-2022, 11:33 PM

Installed the STI JDM fender garnishes. Super easy and dresses nicely. The STI trim pieces are still on backorder with my dealer; April ETA... sigh

Stock springs and top hats? Going to be racing it? I ask 'cause it looks like a street class autox setup, nice stuff!
