Laminx pink fog film. With the LED the output is super bright and pink, looks super good at night and I get a ton of compliments on them

LED turn signals from Lasfit. I love the look of turn signals that are instant full brightness, instant off.

The "slow" fade-in and fade-out of halogens looks archaic.

Coupe Front, Sedan Front, Sedan Rear

Coupe Rear

I find them for sale on walmart.com for under $50 a pair frequently. I bought my coupe rears for only $25, and the fronts for $37.

I run both front and rear and do not have any hyperflash issues (I get over 4 minutes sustained turn signal use before they heat enough to hyperflash).

The rear is so bright, I was seeing people shield their eyes behind me in traffic, which brings me to my second favorite under $50 mod - Rear turn signal tint. And it did the trick so my rear turn signals are still significantly more noticeable than the halogen bulbs, but not blindingly bright.

Plus the tint looks great. I got mid-stealth and it really gives it a nice matte look.

The turn signals are so bright I probably could have gotten dark and it would have still been brighter than OEM halogens.

Selected Arizona Desert Ironwood from left over C6 Corvette project.

Made two version, "T" handle with form fitted finger groove +thumb rest is my favorite. Straight handle knob has 36 coat of hand rub craze glue finish, while "T" shape knob has 34 coat of gun stock hand rub finish.

Knob sits on custom taper double concave stainless transitional lock nut spacer on top of TypeR shifter with full Acuity added on.

Acuity shift cable bushings. Really made the feel of the shift much better just replacing the stock bushings with the Acuity ones. I think like 70 bucks so not to expensive.
