On my passenger side the entire top rubber triangular piece that covers the corner of the mirror mount is deteriorated and gone! Also they take a bit of a beating bc the window goes up and contacts that area every time the door is closed.
My most ricer mod yet. Had a few of these leds laying around and figured I'd try them in the g. Blew the first one immediately and realized I need resistors. They really do light up the water bottle pretty bright at night. Tapped into the heated seat switch to come on with headlights, so they will also dim with the interior lights. My one concern is leaving a cold drink and letting it sweat and cause a pool of water that could contact the led. I drilled the holes as low as possible. Let's hear some honest opinions. (At least they match my headunit)
Took some pics of the car in a SUPER dirty condition, 50 miles on the highway each day (bugzilla country) as well as city traffic and road construction. Drove every day through a construction site that is being "heavily watered" to prevent dust, so puddles everywhere. Rained on Monday and Tuesday for about a half hour so all it did was make things dirtier.
Each day I hit the car with the California car duster in the evening. This is literally the dirtiest the car gets, if you're farther than 5 ft away you can't even tell unless you're squinting. Got some up close pics to show off 'dem water spots and such.... and bugs... if you catch the light just right up close you can see the water spots, looks even better in direct sunlight since it mirrors everything around it better.
Well it wasn't technically "what did you do to the G today" but rather "what did you do to the G last night"...
It's the county fair here, and I live really close to it so the traffic is insane, waiting at a stop sign to cross the road, saw my opening, gunned it, and let up until I was basically redlined cause I needed to GO GO GO NOW to make the small window between traffic.
Came back down that path this morning and HOLY CRAP did I leave some rubber on the road... my poor tires, why do I abuse you so. Having the traction control turned on still allows for a pretty impressive burnout apparently.
Yeah I was a little surprised too, normally a little wheel spin from hitting a patch of water on the road kills the throttle enough to keep from doing that, this was the first time that it pretty much felt like the system did NOT throttle back?
Emblems and grill done. Hard to tell, but the color is not black, more like a very dark carbon gray. I prefer this over black, especially on my diamond graphite.
Received my new door stops and they will go in with the new mirrors and mirror trim next week. Hint hint...the mirrors are the same dark gray. They look pretty badass in the gray. Hopefully they'll look good in the car. I really like the contrasting mirrors on a lot of newer cars.
Anyone know if oval tips are available for the exhaust? I think oval would look much better/more modern than the round tips. Ah, just saw some Borla tips. Might get those welded to my Stillen.

Gives it some color.
