My first mod was black out the bow ties too. Gotta start somewhere fer sure! Debadge that hatch man or leave the RS, it is a statement of what it is but the body kit and accents show it's an RS as well. Just my 2cents.

Yeah, it's a little too crowded with all the badges.

I also had it all taped up and derp'd the grille/trunk last night, but messed up spots on both. Ripped it off then it started to rain. I'll probably leave the chrome. Once I start derping chrome I have to do every little piece. Don't know if I feel like doing the whole damn car.

Replaced all the interior lighting with LEDs. Back-Up too.

LED Back-Ups:

BTW - I'm still rocking the badges because there really aren't that many RS's in my area (good). Gotta rep.

You should just look into vinyl. It's the way togo, not as hard as everyone thinks, and it's last an average of five years. I got a ton of vinyl stuff in wait till I post up my build tread prolly next week or first week of June.

I should've gotten a bigger roll from when I did my bowties. Not long enough for the hatch chrome.

Only thing I'd stress over is seams on the grille.

Installed!

What bulb is everyone using for the led's?

What are you looking for specifically?

 

[kevindaniels63]

My bad. The reverse lights and the front interior lights. What else can you do legally?

Reverse is 921.
Front interior is 194.

Perfectly legal to change them. License plate, fogs, trunk, etc...

 

[kevindaniels63]

Thanks. I have a few mods already and i am more worried about speed but the little cheap things I do like. I need to start a build thread.

Looks good man. What bulb is in the the rear back up

Looks good man. What bulb is in the the rear back up

Thanks. They're Sylvania signal bulbs. Light up amber. They've been discontinued for a few years but you can find them on eBay.

Size 3057AST

Got my shark antenna today. Perfect paint match.

Next stop: Projector Retrofitted Headlights to be completed by Beastlick. I'm going for an OEM look. Updates to come!

 

[BKamp613]

Finally derped it right. Removed the trim piece entirely and sprayed. Good for now, but I'd probably like vinyl better. Keeping all other chrome (front/sides/rear) to go along with OEM style headlight retrofit.
