You won't have any trouble returning the lease as long as you take off the scoops - those screw holes (that kinda sounded dirty, didn't it? ) are so tiny and well-covered - no one will ever even think to look. And you stand to actually gain HP - that's a no brainer mod. I'm definitely getting a scoop for next season whether I have this car or a different one by then.

As for Remap, I'm in complete agreement with you - that is kinda not worth it on a lease also, bc you won't take it with you.


Nice! Your car must look SICK in the dark now! Even sicker than before - with the black paint and all those lighting mods ... you should come to the Aug 16th meet and take some pics

You won't be able to get into your garage with a splitter... a trunk finisher, however...

Don't you have to drill a large hole besides the small screw holes??

The car is looking pretty damn bright in the dark. I really like it.

I would destroy a splitter in my garage and in parking in general. I am not interested in a trunk finisher but I do want a rear spoiler.

if u wanna do the mod that I did, we will have to drill a three inch hole into the intake. They probably wont see it though.

Thanks John but I am not that adventurous on a leased car. Let me know when the 6000K headlights come in. Can't wait to get those and the 8500K GP Thunder Bulbs in.

I am going to go with a rear spoiler.

Continuing on with my series of lighting mods, this week, member Brabusw209amg (John) installed LED reverse lights in my ride. This install is not a mere plug and play job. Rather, it requires a significant amount of labor and requires the removal of the tails so that the work can be performed. As usual, John did a terrific job and my new LED reverse lights look really beautiful and bright. John also incorporated resistors (a $2 part in Radio Shack) into my LED license plate lights to eliminate the error message. The LED reverse lights (as well as my HID fogs and my LED interior lights are all error free). Thanks a million John.

Here are the pics of the installed LED reverse lights in action in my garage. To highlight the new LED reverse lights, I turned off the headlights (and the license plate LED lights):

Next up, we will be installing 6000K headlights to match my 6000K HID fogs and will be installing GP Thunder 8500K bulbs for the angel eyes. Then, I will be done with the lighting mods.
