    When does this obsession with modding end? :confused:

    Just when I thought I was close to being done I see that the some have installed the Stage 10 shifter. So I have ordered one in carbon fiber. And that got me thinking about more carbon fiber, so next mod I want to do is wrap the rear spoiler in 3M DI-NOC CA421. See? I went from just thinking about it to researching and then obsessing.:rolleyes:

    I actually have the original spoiler that was replaced after a goof-up at the dealership, so that is the one I will wrap. Just have to figure out how to remove the one that's on the car now.

    Anyone have experience with the DI-NOC vinyl on the exterior of the car?

    Last night I swapped out the amber LEDs in the footwell lighting with blue LEDs:

    NeoWedge series LED Lamp Specifications

    I used the 3mm size of the NEOx series and they seem to work well so far. A bit brighter than the amber but not obnoxious (I know, that's a personal taste thing).

    I am planning on extending the lighting to the underside of the front seats so the rear footwells are also illuminated. I will post pics once I have everything done. Hopefully tomorrow.

    Pics and video from my latest "fix" for my PMA & OCPMD. I swapped out the amber footwell LEDs in front with blue LEDS, and added footwell lighting for the rear passengers, again using blue LEDs. I took power from the front footwell connectors, so the rear LEDs operate just like the front. I would say these LEDs are a little brighter than the amber LEDs, but not too bright to where it distracts.

    Video walk around:


    Video showing LEDs coming on with door open and off after door close delay (a bit dim because it was shot through the tint. I realize now that I could have rolled down the window:rolleyes:):


    There must be something goofy going on with the chat board because trying to insert images has been more of a PITA than usual. :mad:

    That is the new forum software... it helps those with dealing with PMA & OCPMD.
