    My last 2008 was nailed in the rear bumper at a stop light. Kid that hit me never touched his brakes. His car was a total loss. I polished his paint off of my chrome bumper. Left 2 small dents. For that reason I am ok with the chrome rear bumper. I like the look of the scoop but not a big deal. If it added any value I would probably change hoods but I just had my hood painted so I am fine with the flat one. I like the rear locker, which my 2016 Sport didn't have, more than the scoop.

    With some advice from @memario1214, got some BD S2 flush mount lights for my new C4 bumper. Thanks for the help!

    I think I dig em. I’m not 100% positive yet. We’ll let it ride for a few days. Cost me 10$ so it’s not much of a loss if I remove the tint.

    On a plus side, since all the bulbs are LEDs, they’re still just as bright.

    What’s it doing?

    They’re basically fool proof and should fire right up.

    Looking good! Always like a clean MGM aside from the Micas. Are those Diode Dynamics fog light pods?

    Yes, very happy with them, they put out a ton of light to supplement on dark roads.

    Looks great!

    The tinted tail lights is one of my favorite aesthetic mods. Advanced level is to tint your 3rd brake light too.

    I redid it as well. It’s been tinted since in installed the camper shell a few years back but has faded over time so that got taken care of after I did the tails.

    I did the SS3 Pro SAE's.
    Here in Colorado I often do driving at night in remote areas, so for me it is worth the extra vision and insurance.

    Don't expect it to be that great... I am pulling mine out, to bright at night and only reads outside temp accurately (or so I assume) when moving. There is no way the interior temp is accurate either.

    Hopefully Dr3w has better luck with his.
