So after my 2008 SSM Sport was caught in the recent flooding in Houston. I was given the amazing opportunity of scooping up a new GK5, it will never be what the GD was but we will see how it turn out.

2015 Alabaster Silver Metallic CVT
Came with:
Window tint
OEM Splash Guards
OEM Cargo Tray
OEM Wheel locks

Added to the car already:
OEM All Weather Mats
All interior lights swapped to LED
Plate lights swapped to LED
"FIT" Plasti-Dipped Red
Rear garnish Plasti-Dipped Black
leather wrap on the steering wheel
Mugen Style window visors.


Plans as of today:
Red front and rear Emblems
interior illumination (most likely red)
Clazzio seat covers with the heated inserts
25mm spacers for the rear
Plasti-Dip the front chrome strip
SRI or "Cold" air intake

 

So after reading ADVphotography's thread in upgrading his interior LED's I decided to do the same. How to guide: Upgrade interior bulbs to LED is the thread I am refering to, so I ordered the same LED's yesterday just waiting for them to come in to get them installed. He had posted another link in that thread to a directional led for the cargo area and I cant seem to find one, does anyone else have a clue where to get one in cool white?

 

Ended up ordering these for now, hopefully they work.

Jtech 2x T10 921 194 24- SMD LED Bulb Super Bright Cool White

 

I have one of those in my dome light and one in my hatch. They work great.

 

Thanks jhn for letting me know i was a bit worried about it but feel much better now.

Didn't do too much over the weekend but play with some Plasti-dip.



still need to do the rest of the chrome as well

 

LEDs came in and i can see much better. Pardon the mess had to prep for tropical storm Bill

 

Got the wrap on the wheel, it came out...okayish. im not 100% happy with it but cant complain for $2.50 and 45min of work.

Looks rather decent to me. How does it feel? Is it simulated leather but feel like real leather? It will be interesting to see how it holds up for a few years.

 

It feels nice it is a simulated leather feel but increases My grip in the wheel. It also seems to cool off much faster than the plastic wheel.

 

so i ended up picking up a set of these last week figured i couldn't beat the price.

They came in and don't look too bad. the drivers side matches up perfectly with the doors but the passenger side is a bit short (Roughly 1/8''). the only other problem i had was that the front passenger side visor had the holes for the clips too large and the plastic clips are loose, so we will see how they hold up over time.

Driver side gap


Passanger side gap




Quality wise i would rate them a 7/10, they seem sturdy and has a good amount of 3M tape on the back, they were packaged well IMO, each visor was sealed in a foam pouch and then all visors and mounting hardware was taped together and wrapped in more bubble wrap.

The install was very simple took 45min total from unboxing to completion. No instructions came with the visors but a quick youtube search lead me to multiple install videos. unfortunately i didn't take the time to snap any pictures and will have to update tomorrow with them but over all im happy with them.

TL;DR: I got visors from china, they are not perfect but look good, 7/10 happiness on my end.

 

If anyone is looking for more pics let me know and ill do my best to get them.
