chrome bulbs look good, might have to pick some up (mind telling me where you got them?). I've been waiting to see more angles of an LP with that spoiler, but I'm currently on the fence about that spoiler... I kinda like it, but i think it takes away from the curviness of our trunk/rear end. I like the stillen spoiler, but i don't like how you can still see the "chrome spoiler" under it. And I haven't had any good enough pics of the TK spoiler to even have an opinion. But a spoiler is in my future, i just gotta wait for THE one...


you should get the rear valence, i think it would look hott on your car.... I got pics of mine in LP if you want to see...

Thanks, I have seen pics of yor LP G and it looks fantastic.
I got the bulbs from Ian but they originally came from here: http://www.xenonmods.comThey are the 7440 chrome/amber bulb

I do have the Bats rear valence overlay, I just have not put it on yet .

Well, since i already put mine on, i'll give you some advice, Start from the outside and work your way in, Its actually cut slightly longer than its needed, so i had to cut like 1/4 inch off each piece. Also start from the outside top and work your way towards the middle and down. It's a beast to get the bottom perfectly smooth, but using a blow dryer helped me get the creases out the bottom.

Thanks for the tips I appreciate it. So it sounds like you butt the joints together in the middle or did you still overlap them a bit.

FWIW... 7440 are the OE bulbs, but both 7440 & 7443 work fine.
7443 just has a 2nd filament which does nothing.

I originally bought 7443 & then got some 7440s from a friend.

Even with cutting off a little on each end, I still let it overlap probably 1/8th of an inch or less... My cutting skills aren't the greatest, so i didn't want to try to butt them together, just in case the valence shrank while I was heating it, or have it have a wobbly line.... But with the valence being matte black, you really cant notice the overlap, i just didn't want 1/2 and inch overlapping... So far, most of the comments on my car is positive, so I'm sure you'll like yours.

lookin good, I love my stealth bulbs as well! Fortunately, It only took a couple of weeks to get the chrome bulbs from xenonmods. I mistakingly ordered the 7443 as well. But no biggie

+1 I overlapped it as well. You cant notice it.

And yes, it was hard to smoothen out the bottom.
