I decided to finally post pics of all the mods and work Simon has done on my car for the past few months and some from last year. The list so far is RPI Scoop, Orions with fade on on unlock with eyebrows and tails, Euro fresh stickers inside the lights, 8000K low beams and fogs, clear LED sidemarkers, fully loaded folding M5 mirrors coded, Ultimate LED interior, M5 cluster mod, the usual coding done to the car, Euro LCI tails with Bruce v6 cables and Ricky effect, complete replecment LED housing for license plate lamps, trunk finisher, RDSport trunk spoiler, RPI exhaust and black and white roundels and tire stem caps. All but the low beams, fogs, roundels and sidemarkers was done here starting in January. Lighting stuff was provided by John. Coding, cluster mod, Orions, Mirror folding and fade on lights was done by Simon and his friend. Trunk finisher, LCI tails and mirrors came from a partout. RPI scoop and exhaust from Trinity. Spoiler came from Cal@SonicMS.
My favorite mod of all has to be the folding M5 mirrors. Only mod I did that i can see while driving, plus walking up to car and unlocking it to see the mirrors unfold just makes me happy. Anyway, I'm done for now with modding since I'm going back up to Washington at the end of the month. I meet alot of nice people down here and had fun spending all that money on the car.
I'm only posting pics of some of the mods I've did. I believe there are plenty of pics of the low beam/fogs and side markers. If anyone wants pics of the interior with LEDs that will have to be uploaded tonight.
Cluster mod on low and high brightness
Trunk finisher
Auto Dim on M5 mirrors
RDSport trunk spoiler taken at a gas station in the rain
Some pics of the great Orion placement before install
Pic of the sealing job by Simon, the first of I believe 3 or 4 coats to guarantee a great seal
How smooth the Orions look inside the headlight
Angel Eyes vs Orions (Day and Night pics)
Car locked with mirros folded
Ricky tail light effect
Almost forgot the youtube video of the unlocking/unfolding of the mirrors of the car.

Man, what an extensive list! Glad that I was able to contribute, lol.
It was good hanging out with you the times you were up here Derek. I was actually just thinking about what you said about probably not going to see me again... and I think that might be incorrect! Haha, the reason is because if you're going to change the turn signals to LED, I will have to disable your cold/warm check for turn signals. Unless you want to put resistor in it that is. I swear we have jello brains. Hahaha.
Anyway, looking good. I know you said this will be the last of mods for awhile... but you never know when you might get that itch again
Plus you have that reverse HID on the horizon...
And for the people that are going to ask, the Orions are only flickering in the video because the way cameras capture light. Our eyes cannot actually distinguish and see it -- essentially imperceptible to the human eye.

I actually questioned Umnitza about that and they said its just how a camera takes the picture. I thought they were lying about that. I guess Orions don't like getting their picture taken lol.
