4 quick mods today

I'm rocking Kappas in the car so I had to get rid of the 'pioneer' name





Cleaned up the ass end a bit (painted a small section flat black)






Homemade side skirts to hide underbody LED's


Before


After




I tinted the front windows to 35% (drivers side without tint in pics for comparison)

Can you post pics of how you have the wires setup for the underbody LED's? Been trying to find the best wiring route before I go and spend the money.

If you put 35% on your windows, your tint now is 23%. Factory window comes with 70% tint. Looks good

Fused power line to the BCM main power supply, switch in the right drivers kick panne by the foot air ventl. From there I have 3 lines going off....1 under the hood threw the firewall, 1 to the left drivers kick pannel, one to the passengers kick pannel. Rear lights are a daisy-chain from the passengers side, other than that the left and right are identical, and the wire is just drilled threw the floor under the mats and sealed with silicone. On the passengers side, at the back tire the wire is passed back into the car, up and around the rear seats into the trunk, then back out threw the floor again to where the LED's start.

I was wondering what it was down to when I saw that 70% written on the window. Thanks

Im not really seeing much of a difference with the "side skirts". Im assuming that its just some sort of weather stripping?

Our doors are 6.5" and tweeters are almost always 1"

Its very subtle, but more noticeable in person. Its garage door weatherstripping, only there to block the LEDs when they flash as they could be seen slightly if you were a few feet from the car
