Exterior Modifications

August 16, 2006 - Door Guard Removal

- Looks a bit cleaner than before. Not bad for a free mod.

September 16, 2006 - VG Shark Fin Antenna

- Looks good, paint matches well, and now the antenna can't be taken off so easily.

October 16, 2006 - Xtec 4000k Plus HID-Matched Halogen H11 Bulbs for Lower Fog Lights

- These bulbs for the lower fogs are whiter than stock, and match the HIDs better.

January 30, 2007 - Xtec 4000k Plus HID-Matched Halogen H1 Bulbs for High Beams

- These bulbs are whiter than stock, but still not white enough to perfectly match the HIDs.

January 30, 2007 - Philips Blue Vision w5w Bulbs for Parking Lights

- These aren't as white as I had hoped, but still much better than stock.

January 30, 2007 - Clear Side Markers

- They look great, much nicer than the ugly amber stock ones. The fitment is not as good as stock, but that's to be expected I guess. Actually, I've seen the "official" Anzo clear side markers, and they fit much worse than the Ebay ones I got.

January 30, 2007 - Philips Blue Vision w5w Bulbs for Side Markers

- These are the same bulbs as the ones in the parking lights, but they look much better in the side markers, probably because the HIDs aren't right next to them for comparison. They look much better than the stock bulbs, and much better than the amber bulbs that came with the clear side markers.

October 23, 2007 - Chrome Turn Signal Bulbs

- They look chrome, but they're amber when they turn on. But the amber is a little too dark of an orange when lit up, and doesn't look quite as good as stock. Since I installed the LED tail lights, they are no longer on the car.

June 12, 2008 - CAR LED Tail Lights

- These are the black tails with amber turn signals, and LED 3rd brake light. They're all LEDs, including the turn signals and reverse light, unlike the eBay ones. I think they look really cool. The first picture is when all the lights are off. The second picture is with the running lights on, they show up as an outer ring of LEDs, very nice touch. The third picture is with the brake lights on. The fourth picture is with all the lights on. The "brake light mod" is pretty much required though, or else the inner set of LEDs won't light up when the brakes are applied.

October 15, 2008 - LED Side Marker Bulbs

- LEDs that are whiter than the Philips bulbs I had before. Now they look a little blue, which I'm not crazy about, but still better than a little yellow. These cheap things burnt out, so they're not on the car anymore.

August 27, 2009 - Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood OEM Style

- Required extensive modifications to make it fit on the car. The holes for the washer nozzles are too small, and the hood latch is too short. But after that, the fitment, such as the shape and panel gaps, is pretty good, very close to OEM.

October 27, 2009 - PIAA LED Side Marker Bulbs

- White LEDs for the side markers.
