Hey all,

Thought I would share a few little mods I've done just recently. First off got new tires the factory ones didn't even make it 25,000 miles. :tisk: Scored a set of Michelin Primacy MX4 S8's for a really good deal and am very satisfied with them so far. Also did the full interior lighting led swap plus license plate as well. Great mod that I would highly recommend to all changes the feel of the interior completely. Finally I decided to play around with some leftover plastidip and made some eyelids. Would like to hear what everyone thinks, I am on the fence about it personally, but that's why I used plastidip will peel right off if I don't want to keep them.

The LED kit is a must ! you use the 194 wedge bulbs ? as for the eye lids theyre cool for DIY i would keep em till you find something better. Did you keep your factory rims or buy new ones for the new tires ?

Yep used the 194's for everything except the dome light I believe. Rims are still the stock 17's might get 18's once I need new tires again. That's what I was thinking for the eyelids. I was gonna live with them for a while and see how they grew on me.

Ya that's the biggest reason why I am on the fence about them was that the plastidip is black. If only you could get color matched plastidip lol.

If you really wanted to, you could paint over the plastidip.

I see that you have DRLs, any pics of those on?

I guess I could paint over if I wanted to wasn't really looking to get that serious with it though just wanted to test it out see how it looked.
As far as the DRL's I'll post some pics up. I picked them up off ebay for like 10 bucks I believe and the only real downside to them is that they are not that bright during the day but I love them at night.
