Probably best you remove that bar, not good to hear it scraping something
yeah ill take it off by next week. hard enough to get under the car with no lift and need to jack up the engine off the brace.

Picked the car up monday, went thru it and pulled almost all of the stock bulbs out and replaced them with regular, or high power LEDs

Changed the stock ambient light bulb to a blue LED to match the gauges


No pictures, but I also put 25LED boards in the map lights, and one in the dome light. I had to trim a bit of the plastic in the map lights for them to fit and the button to still click.

Did you pick up all those LED bulbs locally? I need new plate bulbs. Ordered some online but they were whack.

Yup a local distributor is in my neighborhood, he'll be at the autoshow. He's supplies JRP and other local companies. Intelliscent is his company name, if you go to the Auto show he's usually set up under the mezzanine with the other vendors

Cusco Front Strut bar installed. Broke two small clips holding the cowl inside the engine bay, but its not going nowhere. Stupid nut that goes under the middle bracket was a PITA to install. How you supposed to get your hand in there, keep a washer in place and then screw the nut on? Did it with the washer. Anyway done on time before the snow.

Does he sell outside the auto show? May not be going to the auto show this year

Also does he have orange LEDs to keep it like stock orange blinkers?

Check out superbrightleds.com they make quality leds that are really bright! I have used them for 2 years and have had nothing but success. Plus the shipping was really fast.

Haha thanks again, yeah it will most likely go on tomorrow.

Oh also I am guessing you can do the install without taking off the bumper??
