    Had a very busy sunday first I installed dash cam, Window visors. Backup camera, Led turn signals, Led module (stops the fast blinking), rubber floor mats, trunk organizer, HID kit from xenon supply, Led interior lights and a full tank of gas. It took awhile but it was well worth it.

    That's about right, it's only an average.

    Looks good, did you spray clear coat or anything on there to prevent rust.

    Why don't you add side reflectors or lighted markers to the rear bumper as well?

    Signal mirrors would be a cleaner install, and holes wouldn't need to be cut into the fender(s).

    I agree, but a number of members have asked about adding side reflectors to aftermarket taillights that lack them and it's a good method to be within "code" as technically required in the United States. If anything, it would be in addition to signal mirrors.

    Took the car downtown to the old railroad station for an 'Official' photograph after a good detailing. (Before the snow storm hits the south): :cool:

    This was a JDM/ Euro feature on the Gen2. Now for the Gen3 they have the signal on the mirror. They are a great safety feature.

    Had the nail been half an inch to the left the tire could have been saved. Damn shame too. Tire only had about 5000 miles on it.

    Hope yours was repairable.

    A shop won't do the repair due to liability but you could plug it yourself.

    Yeah, but that one is so close to the sidewall. Even if you're successful in plugging it, you're certainly increasing your odds of a failure. Replacement is the way to go.

    Road hazard warranties are gold. $12/tire for lifetime replacement? That's cheap insurance.

    Costco includes road hazard with installation although it's not always practical to go with them as they can be difficult when it comes to non-OE wheels or tire size.
