Looks great! Though you do need to request some white bumper plugs for x-mas.

What's the next mod on your list?

Bumper plugs, lol!

The 6 month plan is to remove side stripes and add aftermarket front bumper cover and side skirts

Also in progress is a Cayenne style flip key conversion. I kind of put that one on hold for the last 3 months because I had trouble getting a key cut properly from keysinthepost.com.

I like it because of how how it fits in my pocket without gouging my leg. The switchblade style key blade is pretty slick, too

Good plan. I've always thought the side stripes were so 80's, if you know what I mean.

Just sayin'..............

I love the 80's and the stripes

But, I also like change, variety, and being different...obviously

Did you get the flip key working? What about the remote functions?
I was thinking of converting to a flip key as well

I guess great minds think alike

I got the key cut and transponder installed so that I could use it to unlock and start the car.
I didn't like it at all. It felt really awkward to use use in both the door and the ignition.

I never got that far. The key was far too awkward to be practical, unfortunately

Finally got my CCFL DRLs installed. I like 'em
