Oh yeah guys, btw the fitment on these were great.
If you're going to buy it on eBay, make sure you get the ones where the back part looks the same as stock:

There is another version floating around eBay that is not a plug and play for our cars, don't buy those.

Mine also came with some rubbery foam thing, it was a bit too thick and made bolting the taillights in a bit of a hassle but you can still use them, or buy some butyl tape from the dealership or NAPA and use that instead.
This is what the fake one looks like. Good insight bud. Looks great btw

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

But really I'm getting an alignment on Sunday, hopefully I can bring the rear to like -1.5*. Front is at -2.75* and staying there.


Razi, I'm not sure what you're going to when/if you get an alignment, but apparently right around -2.5* up front will get you the most grip on street tires. Grassroots Motorsport did some test thing where they found that out. Just an FYI lol.

That's basically what I'll be running, I have zero toe front and rear. Before I went in everyone told me it was going to suck with 0 toe because the car won't want to "pull" itself to center, and since the car is lowered bump steer would be greatly affected. I didn't really noticed a change at all, the only thing is the car tracks to the right on two lane roads just because they way the road is slanted. If i'm on the left lane of the interstate or something I can feel the car pulling to the left, but most of the time it's fairly neutral. It's definitely drive-able, and you get a lot of feedback from the road which is always a good thing.

Did you clean the underside of the chassis (esp the rear sub-frame)? It look pretty clean there.

I think I wiped the subframe down with a rag when I was swapping diffs once.
That's pretty much it haha.

Hopefully I can get my front suspension done this weekend!!!! Wooooot!

I got a bit bored with the lighting in my interior so I decided to change it up!

First, I finally installed my keylight, but I wanted it to light up when I open my door.
Thanks to Dave (Dattebayo), I found and wired it up to a harness under the dash which was for the foot light.
Image
It's the 2 prong harness with Red/White, Red/Blue wires.

I might put a capacitor on the keylight so it slowly fades out instead of turning off when I close the door.

Then I pulled out my gauge cluster and replaced the circled bulbs with LED lights.
Image
The 3 big ones take #194 bulbs and the 2 small ones on the right take #74 bulbs!
I bought em from superbrightleds, good products!
I also bought an LED dome light from them, no pictures of the lighting because I suck at taking night pictures. :P
Image
It's super bright though, I love it.

I also replaced the amber bulbs in my Autometer gauges to super white bulbs from autolumination.
Image
My gauge cluster looks ricey blue in this picture because it's a bit difficult taking night pictures. :gapteeth:
But here's a better picture someone took of their gauge, which looks much more accurate of the lighting.
Image
It's a very very faint blue in person, looks crisp and doesn't bother the eyes.

This weekend:
Some front suspension work! :whip

Good thinking on the footlight/keyswitch light wiring.
