I'm a heretic. I was more than happy to dump the orange rear lenses and side markers.

And yes, I went LED. Both because I wanted the faster reaction of LED stop lights, but also because the smoked color works better with my car IMO.

I have made my car my own. No Amber, LED's, iPad mini in the dash, sky breaker, TS muffler and other mods. I have kept the original parts if I or a subsequent owner would like to go back to stock, although I don't know why one would go back In the end, it is your car and it should make you happy, stock, or, not

I couldn't agree more.

Your car's beautiful. When I was in the market, I diligently looked for that color (or ocean blue metallic) but had little luck. Ended up going with the grey which I like a lot too. But I still love the dark blues.

Though I like it with grey, for some reason I think I might have gotten rid of the amber as well had I ended up with lapis or ocean blue.

Thanks Frodo! I really like the Blues also, obviously, but the Seal Grey was on my list when I was looking, as was Black. I think the clear lights go well with the blue, much better than amber IMO.

I love the Seal Grey!! Started my search looking for one of those, but fell for the Blue when I saw it. So far as mods go, I have put a new head unit in the car, Nexus 7 tablet in the dash, and my wife made me a custom sticker for the wind defector. Like Bruce, I kept all the original parts. Bruce, I love the wheels on your car!! I may have to play copy cat!

Thanks! It took me a year to find a nice set at a reasonable price but I am extremely happy with them! They came off of a 911 so I had to get spacers for the rears, the fronts were fine. If you do try to get a set, make sure they spin true! I had to ship one set back, and I had the seller take video of another set on a spin balance machine which showed one rim was not good. Just something to keep in mind!
