It was stock (well as I bought it) for about one week...Too much time for me...So I decided to color code front grills,front,side and rear skirts and also I did a DIY DRL...comments?

Yes...I removed front turn lights and heat them with a heat gun...By doing so I managed to open them and view their inside...i replaced yellow leds with high intensity white leds and glued the light again...Also standstill whilte bulbs were replaced with yellow ones...then I reversed cables from front turn lights to standstill lights,so when turn lights are on,+12Volt turns on 5W yellow buld and viceversa...Lastly i had to code the car with PIWIS so to "see" bulb lights and not LED lights for front turn lights...That was all...Now standstill lights are white LEDs while front turn lights are yellow bulbs located where white standstill bulbs were before the mod...

The LEDs are a very nice mod. I helped a friend do something similar, and on a black car, we elected to paint the chrome with flat black to increase the "stealth" look.

Nice job!

I keep staring at the car with the LEDs on...they look awesome...its easy if you have the time to do it...(and some skill)...
P.S. no these boats are not mine...(mine are bigger......)
I ve also ordered some LED bulbs for foglights and high beam on litronics...Next days they will arrive and i ll write impressions...

do you have spacers on your car? if so how big?
Have you considered lowering the car? I think it would make a substantial difference in the appearance.

Offtopic, but Does anyone know any shops in Los Angeles who would be able to do this mod for DRL?

Then my kit would work if every customer owned a $20,000 PIWIS tool.

Yes i do have spacers rear...they are OEM 17 or 18mm i think...
Dan you can avoid PIWIS if you like...I can send you details if needed...
I want to lower the car but i have to change garage first...i already made a small scratch in front spoiler...
