It's never been about Lexarse for me ;-)

You sure you want another coat on there? I always like to be able to distiguish between body panels and lights. IMO cars where they're all exactly one colour look weird, whether it be black or not. Just my 2p ;-)

Mine are oem under the tints but had to be dark enough to cover the reflector lens that goes across, did not like the red line.

its good to have a few different sets of lights - you can change the look of your lude in under 10 minutes
try them all :lol:
eventually you will get fed up of changing them over and settle on the set that you like the most ;)
ive got 3 sets of lights and like them all but my least favourite is the heavy dark tint oem ones - maybe thats because my lude is red - might be different for you as your lude is a dark colour but im with nathan in that i like to see a contrast between the light and bodywork.

Well today i started work on my cold air intake location, since fitting the wings west bumper the standard cold air induction pipe has been hidden behind it so pretty pointless. ive decided to remove the resonator and have the air feed come from the indicator reflector upto my ebay special air intake, today was the start of my first attempt so we will see how it looks when finished and if it needs further playing with.
heres a few pics of where we got too today inbetween customers cars.

gonna try and get a slightly darker shade of orange and also lacquer it to give it a bit of a shine, not sure how well it will actually work as it may be too far around the side of the bumper to draw the air in. might get a bit more done tomorrow if i get a chance

Nice touch though that you're aiming to keep a fairly stock look 8-)

I suppose it's not a ram air system, you are counting on the car to draw air as required which means this should work. Does your intake feed down in behind the bumper?
