Hey just wanted to say cheers for the excellent instructions and pics on the tail lamp replacement. Your description inspired me to order some and happy to say just installed them and they look a treat with my titanium paint. I have also dropped in the chrome shroud front DRL' s to sharpen up the front end. Thanks once again, gonna have to get the led number plates globes now!!!!

Infected. How much did you stretch the tires? I am looking at getting some new 16x7's. Stock for me is 6.5....Never stretched tires before. Just don't want to push my boundaries. Car looks great BTW.

53. OEM Roof Rack & Thule Cargo Box
It's been a while since my last update as I've been busy with work and life in general (ie: bought a house and got engaged). Figured now would be a good time to pick up a roof rack for the ski season. This is the OEM setup for models without the side rails. I personally prefer this setup more which is great. Install was very straight forward and the instructions were as clear as mud. The kit is actually made by Thule as they have their name stamped all over the manual. That's always a bonus in my books, especially since I am a brand *****.
The cargo box is a Thule Ascent 1100 which I had from before. Got to try it out over the weekend and she handled like a charm. Not much noticeable decrease in gas mileage or wind noise on the highway. Surprisingly, there is a whistle around 60km/h+ but with the box on, it goes away. The box stays on all winter anyways which is not a concern. Although I think a fairing will be necessary over the Summer.
Sorry, only had the chance to snap one picture so far as I seem to be living in a constant scramble as of late. Will try to have some more shots up soon!
