    I'd guesstimate about a year ago I did my first headlight retrofit. It happened to be a freak rain that weekend. Putting them together and back in sucked and I wasn't too happy with the finished product. Over a few days the paint I used outgassed. Finally couldnt stand it anymore so did them all over again and finished installing today. Added a red demon eye that I made myself using pieces I had from other led projects. Definitely worth taking several days to complete this time. Rush it and it doesn't come out as well. Only took a year to get my ass in gear on it. 20180924_141436.jpg 20180925_084239.jpg 20180926_210955.jpg 20180926_211028.jpg

    Supposedly "no." I've got a link I'll post tomorrow. Mounted the rims tonight and we'll see how long it takes for the sensor to kick in.

    EDIT. Here's a pic of how the rubber looks. Drove 10 miles on highway/city and no TPMS light yet. The website from the McGee Company is https://tinyurl.com/ya4fpm2t Site gives the sensor, frequency, compatibility specs.

    EDIT 2. At 22 miles, the sensor light came on. Tires performing just fine. Sensor is incompatible. I'm keeping the wheels and tires.

    Really the only pink part is the backup lense and that's just so it doesn't stand out as much.

    There were 2 different runs on the non LED tails....'05-'08 and '12-'15. IMO the 2nd run version is less pink and much less susceptible to fading. My tails came from my '13 base and are 6 years old.

    Stainless + extended brake lines. Makes the brakes feel so much more solid even on the same pads, etc. Putting a z36 brake kit in next.

    Goes well with the other bling:

    I know there are a lot of great guys with great builds in here! I just wanted to share quickly that I am in the early stages of producing a Semi-DIY drawer system for purchase. You will be able to select what features you want, get a price, and have them shipped to you Ikea style for assembly. If your interested take a look here
