Oh no! What happened?

Going into an intersection making a right, person was making a left, didn't see each other in the pouring rain, end result. Just glad everyone was ok, and I'm also happy I have really good insurance. Silver lining is that the few rock chips that I had on my bumper get fixed at least

Bought all the parts from a dealer on eBay:

The foot well lights are little modules that are screwed onto the backside of the bottom dash covers. You have to drill a hole for the light.

The center console only changes brightness with the dash/gauge cluster brightness controls.

Can you direct me to the modules you purchased for the footwell lights? Thanks!

EDIT: Realized the first link you sent had the interior lights. Yours looks like it's white but the link you gave is for a red one. Is there a white version?

Ouff, sorry to hear that happened but glad everyone is ok.

Wherever things go bad, I remind myself there will be a point in time, whether that be a day, week, month or whatever... that the issue will be behind you and all will be good. Hang in there

Ugh, that sucks. The damage doesn’t look too bad at least.

Just finished installing Mugen taillights and test fitting the carbon fiber vent cover:

Wow looks fantastic Tim818. Did you get the front vents also?

Not yet, I still need to get all pieces ceramic coated.

Cut my driver’s side front fake vent in preparation for the HKS oil cooler. However, just changed oil a few weeks ago, so will probably wait until the next oil change to perform the full install.

Boosted180sx shared a very ingenious tip that made cutting the plastic super easy. Heat the razor blade with a butane torch or heat gun.

Marked the diamonds that needed to be removed then cut them out. The hot blade cut through the plastic like butter.

Then ran a file to smooth the cuts

Fake vent reinstalled. Now real and functional for the black powder coated oil cooler whenever I’m able to get around to it

Fake vent reinstalled.

It's a real vent now!

The taillights? I didn’t purchase them from KingMotorsports, I bought them from a company out of the UK, waited very long for them.

why are you guys hating on the Kirkland brand oil? do any of you actually have knowledge on this? it is most likely just repackaged Mobil1.

I have no idea what’s in those jugs - and apparently neither do you. But, buying off brand oil, or gas for that matter, isn’t where I choose to save a few bucks.

Are the smaller pieces that go on the hatch lid functional lights? Looking at some videos it doesn't appear that they light up.

They don’t light up.
