    I put all the stock wheels back on. The Forgestars and tires have some balance issues that need to be fixed. Not sure if its the wheels, tires, or a bad balance

    Also, I'm ordering some 225s to replace the 215s, I don't like how the lip of the wheel is so exposed.

    I hope that this shop can fix the balance issues and I can mount all four of these wheels back on the 11th.

    I like the door handle covers and I'm considering them as well. I also think the rear hatch door is missing something, maybe a thin trim piece along the bottom.

    Looks great~! I'm jealous, because yours is 2010 which is Plug&Play and mine is not.
    Did you get the 3-in-1 led too? And did you also swap out the folding motor into the US mirrors?
    And how long did it took you to get this done?

    yes, I had to swap out the folding mirror out, except to the Canadian mirrors, there were some adjustments that needed to be made, took my installer roughly around 8 hours ><

    I thought I remember seeing a thread where someone had an illuminated switch. Just wondering if yours did or not. Looks good though UCSMFU!

    nothing special.....

    had the 40K service done.... and the dealer broke the engine splash guard where the oil filter access is.... (the panel came loose when I was at the freeway and before I could stop the part that came loose broke off and I was not able to save it... :mad: )
