UDATE: 2 JULY 2008
Alright everybody. A big ole update since I went on leave.

The Beginning
I arrived home on June 15th and left on June 28th. I can't organize this update like I did the first one since a certian hosted website that I use is closed at the moment.................

Anyway. I'll do the best I can with organizing what I have.

Chapter 1. TBL Swap
I began the modding with a quick 4 hour swap of the TBL (Third Brake Light). Yes, you heard right, 4 freaking hours. Those damn bolts in the corners are a real bitch to get loose AND tight again. I found it was worth it though. Never got a chance to do any night shots. I was rather pre-occupied with my time. I went with the stock silver/white color. I like how it looks with the next mod I moved on to. For those of you who don't know what the TBL swap is, the one I have now, lights up all the way across the TBL, instead of in the middle like the stock one does. Again, sorry for no night shots, but my time was limited and I spent my time better doing something else at night.

Chapter 2. Tail Light Swap
A couple days later, I did the tail lights. Letitia wanted to help me, but I had plans on resealing the right headlight the day she wanted to do everything. Never got to that unfortunately. I did this whole procedure myself, took off the rear bumper, took out the tail lights, replaced with new tail lights, put the bumper back on. Fun fun.

I did a small photo shoot between mods. I took these at our local park early in the morning. So here you go.

Chapter 3. VRD Fog Lights
On the first friday I was home, Letitia and I had scheduled to install the Fog Lights and Bake open the headlight and reseal it. Just as we finished the VRD Fogs, it began to rain. I had just enough time to snap a couple of pics.
