Interesting idea but not what I want to go with for my car.
Well the black looks sick on black. You definitely need to get those JDM tails now. Are you gonna stick with the OEM wheels ? I wanna get the bronze enkei ev5s to go with my pbp but I'd like to stick with 16" rims. If you getting rims, you sticking with black?

A set of sport bronze Rota Slipstreams are in my future. I know I will go plus size just don't know if it will be plus1 or plus2...

My mods are always subtle and not over the top. I usually trade my cars in and dealer has never knocked me for any mods left on car...

Ouch.
With 380 you could have gotten a baller projector setup.

Projectors help distribute the light properly and not blind traffic. (Look at your cutoff on a white wall.)

Ps the black trim looks good!

Hi, I have a black LX. Could you please tell me how to remove the chrome FIT emblem on the back? Can it be easily put back on? Thanks, Bill # 22335

15BlkBrl, looking great so far. I feel that the biggest upgrade is the black lx hatch and grill chrome replacements. I want to do the same thing but can't find the parts on Bernardi. Any chance you have the part numbers or maybe someone else seeing this does.

I'm also thinking about hard wiring my Garmin. I am sick of having that wire draped across the steering column.

Adding to the HID questions:
Did you add a projector to get the HID focus properly?
Did you have to use a relay in the setup to prevent flickering? Thanks.

Rear emblem is held on by rivets so removal will require you to drill them out....

I did disable the DRLs by pulling fuse under dash... Didnt add a projector as the light output seems ok and I'm not getting anyone flashing me as I pass... No relay was added and I dont have any issues with flickering...

If you get any info on this please post it because I have a manual EX and I want the leather wheel from the EX-L but I also questions whether the shift paddles affect the wheel if I have a manual. Also, if you can get the part number and post it I would very much appreciate it.
