I'm referring to the fact that instead of waiting for a nice day and spending many hours washing my car to prep it for a photoshoot, I just grabbed my camera and took some quick pictures of it. Dirty or not... I knew inevitably it would get dirty on the drive regardless, so what the heck, just drive it and have some fun.

If I could find someone selling the OEM vent, I would.

I'm bringing the chrome mesh back into style....

But seriously, as soon as I can find an OEM vent, I'll put it in.

The car is still in stock 4x4 mode. It's kind of embarrassing see the rest of it. But I'll get a few more.

Yeah, its the Seibon OEM CF hood.

I had heard that as well. I wasn't able to weigh stock vs. CF, so I don't know for sure with my hood. To be honest, it was just sort have for looks in my case.

As for the sunglasses, no rockstar leavers home without them.

Yeah, I'm trying to find a Carbon lip that I actually like. I'd love to get a second set of summer wheels. Most likely I'd go with something dark, maybe not black, but definitely a darker color wheel to set-off the hood and headlights.

You have to buy the harness and a different bulb. They have to be 9006 style light bulbs. You can get the bulbs on ebay, or I'm sure there are local shops where you are at that carry them. The harness you can find here: http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...&cat=66&page=1

Yeah, that looks like what I'll have to do. I have checked both the fuse and the relay, and everything is getting power. I used a voltmeter and the foglight plug is getting 11.82 volts. Neither of the bulbs are burned out either. Very confusing.

Would that eliminate the chances of it fading? What's the price for something like that run?

Thanks Wayne - I'm a fan of them as well.
