Picked up my Exige... HEAD UNIT INSTALLED!!!

Other than maybe doing some of that vinyl on the floor and disabling the daytime running lights, I think i’m almost done screwing with it. :frowning:

eh?

would Mannie Fresh be proud?

Always a fan of high B/W contrast.

does it real good… d.dd.d.does it real good

love the scoops, HATE the mirrors.

how did the mirrors attach?

i wasn’t sure if i liked them at first, so i put on the scoops and one mirror and kept going back and forth and decided i liked the mirrors.

I’m an engineer. I like patterns.

lip fender mirror door scoop fender wing bumper diffuser

vs

lip fender door scoop fender wing bumper diffuser

They’re just covers :ricer:

They kinda clip on… (i used a lil 2 sided tape, too).

Before I didn’t think I liked the addition of the wing but now it’s balanced out with the diffuser, scoops, and mirrors. Nice work :tup:

After looking at all the pics, I feel like if the scoops, mirror and wing were that color from the factory, you would paint them all white. :gotme:

X…

I think it all goes well together

I probably wouldn’t, but other people would. I like contrasting colors… I’m not a big fan when cars are monochromatic…

That’s why i hate murdered out shit.

So was there a reason you picked this car? Like are you going to go around a track with it, or just cruise around?

I’ll probably take it to a track once or twice at least… I had fun driving my STi at dunville, and that was precarious at best…

I like it

Did a few more little things…

  1. Installed LEDs in the parking lights

  2. Installed Bane’s stealth bulbs

  3. Blacked out the front amber side markers

  4. Installed LED festoon bulbs in the license plate bracket

  5. I have DDM 6000K HIDs. The incandescent parking lights did not look good next to nice white/blue color of the HIDs (obviously)

Here is a pic of HIDs + OEM parking lights:

Here is a pic of just the OEM parking lights:

I purchased two types of bulbs from superbrightleds.com

in WHITE
http://superbrightleds.com/products/car/wleds/wled-whp9.jpg

and

in COOL WHITE
http://superbrightleds.com/products/car/wleds/wled-x6.jpg

I probably should have gotten the wled-x6 in "natural white, because it turned out pretty blue. However, it wasn’t a big deal because the -whp9 looked SOOO much better.

Installed:
-x6:

-whp9

It’s hard to tell in the pic, but the whp9 illuminates MUCH better than the -x6. Definitely the better choice (and 3 times the price!!)

Here’s a pic of both -whp9 with the HIDs on:

2: Installed stealth bulbs in the turn signals… not a lot to say here, you used to be able to see the amber bulb lurking inside the small inboard housing, but not anymore.

3: Blacked out the amber sidemarker… Used overlays that i bought for my first lotus from stickercity.com that i never wound up installing them. Somehow i managed to not lose them. I only put them on the front for now, i think it might be a bit much if also installed on the rear. I hate amber, but i don’t mind red. I like the way they look!

Some pics:

4: Lastly I installed these LED bulbs in the license plate area:
http://superbrightleds.com/products/car/festoons/3910.jpg

Got “cool white” it’s definitely pretty blue, but not as blue as the pictures seem to show. It’s probably about equivalent to an 8K hid bulb. I think it looks really fu!cking good though, especially because there are no other “white-ish” bulbs in that area. (rear end is now red, white, and blue-ish!!! sooo patriotic)

Stock:

LED:

are you covering up the exhaust for a reason? lol

i appreciate the ‘pics at post 140’ title as i have it set to 50/page and i assume most dont

thats a bad ass go kart you have there. i have yet to see one upclose

well that’s where the license plate would go, and i needed something to show what the light would look like on a license plate.

Love all the small add ons. I think you should put black covers on the rear reflectors too IMO.

The license plate bulbs look like a neon stick under there.

Hope you dont get pulled over one Fast and Furious 4 comes out :stuck_out_tongue:

this will be really hot when we roll by hhs at about 255 sometime in the next few months. with a better stereo
