yes yes its the litronics guys
the sticker above the PCA logo is police support decal (hopefully it MAY get me out of something that i shouldn't have done in the first place)
and the side markers...im still not sure if i want to put the smoked ones on there or not, but i probably will...

It looks great!
How did you do the side markers? Did you use touchup paint?

New mod = RMS Leak? (Oh, wait ...that's my car).

Your car looks equally good in the fall leaves & the winter snow.

The painted side markers look good, but now that you put on litronics, you can consider matching the glass color with the side markers. I picked mine up from Sunset (in FL) for $29 for the pair.

springs are from Gemballa.
im not gonna sell the stock lights, although the orange does come off, but if i decide to sell the car down the line, ill sell the litronics separately and put the stock ones back on.

Have you considered a three spoke or RUF steering wheel?

I'm thinking of adding carbon fiber door pocket lid covers.

I need to take some pics. I added an Aluma look center console, carbon shift knob, alum pedals. Still need to add the alum e-brake.
