Changed the glovebox light to an LED. Only halogen bulbs left are the rear turn signals and visor vanity lights. Probably won’t bother changing those out.
Honestly I don’t even remember there being a light in the glovebox haha. I hardly use it aside from storing essentials

Done quite a few things, have an acuity stage two shift kit along with throttle pedal spacer on the way. Had a Rockford fosgate amp installed under drivers seat with a lc2 line out converter for it and a JL 12” W1V2 sub in the back and it pounds! Want more from the rest of the sound system so I am getting Blam 165rs components installed in the front doors at the end of the month as well!

I'm also thinking to get one. My only concern is after drilling trunk, there will be rust or paint issues? I mean I watched couple videos they're using some kinda waterproof tapes etc. but still not sure.

I can't say for the Sedan or Coupe, but for the Hatchbacks it's always "available", it's something the North America version cut out, same as the glove box damper, all the marking and mounting points are there, just need the right parts to put in, for instance, I did the retrofit on mine. Check out my tutorial if you're interested ;)

when I got it installed they used some special glue and washers (tbh he explained it all to me but I forget the specifics of what was used/done) and basically let me know that water shouldnt be an issue with the holes.I got mine installed directly from ABS Dynamics, but any decent body shop should be able to do a good job and explain to you how they would install it!

Oh I see! I was thinking to install by myself but I think since Im worried about rust and paint issue I think I would go to professional body shop! And you think should I get it pre painted from abs dynamics? Or body shop would be cheaper?

I live local to ABS so I did everything in person to avoid shipping costs, but I originally bought the unpainted wing for $137 total thinking I could get it painted myself at a shop for cheaper, turns out I was so wrong lol every shop gave me quotes that were way higher than I expected. I went back to ABS and since ABS only charges $200 additional to have it color matched to your car so I think it’s a good deal. I went with the all black, but while I was there they let me look at other customers painted wings and they all looked good and true to car color!

I was thinking same. I need to get it pre painted from abs dynamics. That wing not big size but I'm sure shops will be more expensive. Im currently waiting for android head unit. When I get it next mod will be wing or type R style front lip!

Not even close lol but that’s kinda cool. I found the thread I was looking for. But really don’t need a fuel cap cover because it doesn’t get that cold in Florida lol ? ? people only get those if they experience frozen fuel doors and can’t get the nozzle into the cap filler.
Sorry, I seen cap cover and wasn't sure what that was, but had seen this.

Broke one of the rear speakers putting a bike in the trunk. Went on youtube to see how to replace it. You have to take the entire interior apart in the back seat. So I won't be doing that any time soon. Maybe I'll just wait to have better speakers installed at some point. So now I only have one good speaker in back.
