Would you sell your old ones? Want a set to test fit something. Have a pre-LCI with NV, i want double slat but damn near impossible to find- hoping to maybe make it work w some cutting

Yeah. I don't have the original ones anymore but I do have the old black ones. There is a Little Rock chips on them (bottom one in the photo)

PM if cheap enough I'll try my project..
Or maybe i'll just bite the bullet and get new ones and have them painted black

Installed the pedals. I like how they turned out.

bwaccord99 · 05-02-2020, 01:14 AM

Satisfactory.

bwaccord99 · 05-02-2020, 01:22 AM

Looks nice. Sadly some imperfections in the spoiler. Sent a notE to IND, will see what they say. Looks like a fabrication flaw.

vafan13 · 05-02-2020, 06:42 PM

nice and warm this weekend so did a wash, cleaned the MAF sensors, replaced the not-sure-the-last-time-they-were-cleaned-and-oiled K&N filters with regular filters and removed the charcoal filters.

Was pretty surprised to find the previous owner had bothered to put in K&Ns but not removed the charcoal filters. I guess I'm happy about it as they likely protected the MAF sensors from any excess oil from the K&Ns whenever they last were oiled.

I use a guy in uk for vinyl transfers for brake callipers, small M badges for rear windows..... www.jdpsigns.co.uk He's very approachable and helped me with a vinyl for the headrests, made to specific size and are a pretty good fit, exactly what I asked for

The issue is..... I'm not sure about "the look" is it tacky? Cheap? Or a justified M looking application? Will attach a few shots and one of the window decal also

I'm not sure about the seat vinyl but I like the one in the window, it should be reversed though. Do you plan on blacking out the window surround trim, looks like you need a tint on the rear windows too.

The window ones were left over from caliper vinyls, just used them to see what it looked like other rear window is right way round

yep the chrome will go once covid is done....... and tints are currently oem.

Dwaynos · 05-03-2020, 05:31 AM

It must be the way the light is shining, or maybe because mine has the high gloss shadow line option, which I believe is what gives you the black window trim etc, maybe you get a darker tint with that.

Headrests look awful IMHO, were you looking at a Gold M badge or was that someone else?

Just forgot to close it, I realized the open hood after taking the pics. It's parked in my garage with a trickle charger and I leave the bonnet like that. I will take more pics with the bonnet properly closed 😅
