    Ride is definitely a little stiffer and tighter.

    Hopefully this weekened, but I wanted to take off the bumper and do the leds, the lip and redo my grill all at once. Im seeing a lot of posts about the leds not fitting the way we wanted them



    From Av's pic , it doesn't look like anything is blocking them, just gotta trim the bumper.

    Do tell.

    Also, good luck with the install(s).

    Curious to see how the LEDs work out.

    I hope to get my tires mounted tomorrow, as well as installing my hockey puck.

    Nothing big, just the alu glovebox latch and finally went ahead and got a euro cup holder w/ metal bottle opener. Also a new cabin air filter


    Leds will be a bitch, now it seems I need a ballast of some sort , so much for just tapping the sidemarker lol.

    Where did you order it from?!

    I would have been on the phone with them stat.

    My buddy Christof hooked me up with the glove box handle for $13... the perks of knowing someone who works at a dealership.

    My buddy Christof offered to do mine for me, so I think I will oblige.

    He sent me pictures of his and he, too, had to take the whole glove box out because he dropped the screw.
