Hi
the lights were done when I bought the car. They look great BUT when you turn side lights on the warning Bulb indicator lights up and the led dim slightly. I believe due to the reduced amps/watts being detected because of the LEDs

I already have the bulb warning indicator on since I replaced my eyebrow's with LED's, so that's not an issue for me. I guess I could install resistors to fix it, there are many threads n that subject here. The bumper LED's might be something I add in the future. Thanks, for the info!

EDIT: this would be my first time ever applying vinyl to a car, any tips or pointers on this procedure? Unless one of you are in the chicago area and would like to help me put it on. I promise to provide food(beer) and drinks(more beer?)
This

And this

Will soon be wrapped in this.



I'll attempt a writeup since I haven't seen one on here.

Adrian-X: Here is a pic of the windshield and side strats wrapped with Silver Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap purchased from SimCarbon .com...application is rather simple...be sure the surface is void of any solutions that would prevent the wrap from sticking..I measured and cut the material a tad wider/longer so as to wrap the item over the edges...gives a "finished" look.. instructions come with the product.. use a blow dryer to smooth out any blemishes...the heat will allow the product to "stretch"...good luck...Carl

Adrian-X : the grain/texture of the wrap is difficult to see unless you're up close...try this...

Adrian-X First of all, what is your first name...I really like to address a person by their name,since ones name is the most important thing ones own...no one can take it,change it and you even keep it when you leave this wonderful world...

Th color match is just a slight darker than the OEM shade...it's really difficult to notice the difference.. I really like mine..(yes, mrmiata the door handles will be "fixed"..private joke)...did you go to the SimCarbon site to investigate?...Carl

Put in a new set of Bosch Icon wiper blades, the old Icons were a year and a half old at this point. Good blades, hope this new set works like the last.
