I was gonna say something...but this is a legitimate concern. Shitty place to get a burn.

Oh yeah, nice car.

I saw these on ebay as well. Do you have the night time pics?

Here's the best I could get, cause I didn't want to try harder.

All of these are very close to actual brightness as my eye see's them, I had to fiddle a lot with aperture and shutter speed to get them to appear the same, so since I didn't want to get the tripod out, some aren't so great.

Interior and entry light:




Just the DRL's as a baseline:



Headlights and the new fogs:




Front side markers:



Rear side markers and license plate, these are darker than they really appear by a bit:



Full on rear, again slightly darker than reality:



Tried to get both side markers and the rear, a bit darker than reality:



Reverse:





A slightly darker than should be DRL and Angel Eye's pic:

I don't know if I like the reverse lights pointing so far down, I'm going to work on that...

Otherwise, I'm very happy with the outcome! The fogs are spot on, that was my biggest fear.

Not sure if its just me but your front end is blinding me and thats just looking at the pictures. Except for that, the interior LED's look clean

So this thing cost $113. Is it worth it? OH HELL NO! Is it cool as hell? OH HELL YES!

The build quality is just sooo bad I can't tell you how bad it is. But it does work for now...

I may cut out a bit of the plastic underneath to allow the motor to fit flush, it's not hanging out too bad right now, but it could get caught pretty easy.

And some audio stuff, walkthrough of the dash speakers.

Just added sound deadening to the driver side door. Will get pics of the passenger and trunk as I do those along with the passenger woofer, already did the driver side.

[michaelahess]

More pic goodness of the door speaker install and sound deadening the trunk and door.

Done!

Well mostly, still waiting to get my sub...



The velcro is almost invisible on the back of the seat when it's not being lit by the camera flash.

Pulley:

[OrbitalEllipses]

How's the engine feel after the pulley?

[michaelahess]

There is a noticable difference, more than I expected actually. It's quicker to rev and drop rev's as well, shifting from 1st to 2nd and then 3rd seems a good deal quicker. Downshifts from 3rd to 2nd are noticeably quicker as well.

I don't feel any difference anywhere else, but that is more than enough, I can row the gears up a lot quicker than before.

Or it's the placebo effect and it just gave me more unfounded faith in my shifting abilities!

I do think it was actually worth the $90 I spent on it, and red is just cool anyway!

[OrbitalEllipses]

Have you driven with a lightweight flywheel before? If so, does the pulley feel similar? It should rev more freely, but I'm not certain that the pulley is the way to go versus the flywheel, where there is more weight to be dropped from the rotating assembly.
