had extractors fitted, feels good, bit too early to say how good

but feels a bit torqueier and more torque steer

anti lift kit next?

@ VRX_Pete - love those CF pillars, does it block your airbags?

They don't block the airbags Doug.

When the airbags deploy it actually knocks the plastic pillars off to allow the airbag to deploy. They have a small piece of plastic which stops the pillar from flinging off and hitting passengers.

If you want a different texture, you can use Neffy Wrap as well. Probably a bit easier to do the B pillars with as it is a fabric.

not on my car yet, rear OEM Diamond badge in Silver 3M CF Di-Noc, i actually still trimmed a few microns of the edges after i took the pics as it still wasnt as perfect as i wanted it.

im pretty happy with the result,

I still have just enough to do the front badge.

Congrats Hoges, I'm a long way off, I owned my last car outright and it's a good feeling, it took a long time to dive into debt again, I have no regrets though!!

damn they look bright Pete

Are they actually that bright Pete. You dont want them that bright that they hurt your eyes.

Pictures can be deceiving.

Do you have a link from where you bought your LED strips from?

Two are in the outside sun, the last one is just inside the sliding door and the sun was basically only 10cms away - so yes bright.

Yes, camera phones are notorious for getting white balance and contrast wrong. Hence my disclaimer.

I'll try and dig it up.... it was an ebay purchase. about $14 a strip.... but well worth it.
