Here are mine:







They weren't blue as the picture shows, but the difference is literally "night and day."

I used 3 24smd led panels (2x for the maps, 1x for the dome) and 1 15smd t10 for the back.

Ordered all of this from amazon:

4x 24smd led panels (2x 2-packages)
6x 15smd t10 (3x 2-packages)
2x 36smd led panel (1x 2-package)

all for $34. I accidentally ordered the 36smd led panels in blue, so I can't use those, or rather, don't want to use those so I gave them to a friend.

I was at Pep Boys and noticed there are all kinds of colors now with Plastidip, how many cans did it take for your wheels?

Yea the new blaze ones are like highlighter colors-- would probably look better on a white base though. It took me almost 2 cans for 2 wheels, but I was tryna cover up something. Didn't even take half a can for the metallic clear-- I'll let you know of a better estimate once I get to paint my other 2 wheels that I haven't messed up haha.
I've heard people do it with 1 and a half cans but they had silver wheels.

most people roll with 4 cans, 1 each wheel. That is if you are doing something simple like straight up black dip.

now if u want to use any of the other specialty colors like blaze colors, metallizers, pearlizers, or even the glossifiers, ull have to layer it up. but essentially, ull still end up using 4-5 cans. any less, u end up with a lot of peeling and harder for u to remove it later on if its too thin.

check out dipyourcar.com lots of guides there and ideas.

Changed my oil and both cabin/air filters.I have 34K on my 12 sport and both filters were pretty dirty but could have went longer with a little cleaning.

I got the filters from Bernardi cabin-$20 and air $17
I continue to use Mobil 1 5w-20 syn and got the 5qt jug from Wally world for $24.00

Today, I exhausted my bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage. The Black Blob did not immediately disintegrate, demonstrating that Cinderella stories are not common in real life.

Added rear spoiler. Going to fab up a lip and I'm done with exterior unless I get coilovers.

Looks nice. Is that a honda factory spoiler or an aftermarket? Did you install yourself? Cost?
