This was last month but I didn't have a decent picture. Got my girl some earrings for our first anniversary.

As I hadn't driven my car for about 4 weeks, surprise surprise the battery is dead.. Took the battery out, put it on charge. The car will probably stay "battery-less" for another 4 to 6 weeks.. At least the battery will be juiced up and ready to roll..

Received LED fog light bought from @MugsBRZ. Sent payment Friday and received today. I appreciate the fact that they came with the necessary adapters and extra hardware. Well packaged, quick, and easy

Now just need to get the front end repaired so I can move on to more fun mods.

Probably want to shift the car a bit every week or 2 so it's not sitting on the same spot on the tire (potentially develop flat spots after sitting). They usually round out again before too long but why not avoid it altogether.

Because I didn't realize I had ordered the wrong ones lol. The correct ones are delayed in shipping right now.


Edit: Correct latches came in today.

First mod! Picked up a set of used OEM/JDM clear side markers on eBay for $35. Overall good shape but I had to swap in an "A" clip from one of the original units. Installed some Philips amber LEDs with it, which had the brightness I wanted (not too bright).

I'd probably have left the amber side markers on there, but the clear ones really clean it up especially with WRB + red Brembos.
