I have the non-smoked red LED tails. Here's a couple pics taken this morning. VERY HAPPY with the mod!

For the record, mine are smoked, not clear. And I've gotten hundreds of compliments on them.

The driver's side has a ram air tube with a filter that accepts it and the pass side is just for asthetics

A slight difference. The one with the inline filter is probably a little better.

How much are the LED lights? They look cool but I would only want them if they are darkly tinted .

JP,

I still want the hood. It is carbon fibre, right? It makes me drool. I want one on my black GXP. Think it would look awesome.

And don't let anyone ever tell you your car looks bad. I think you know what I am talking about.

Mine were $215.

Yep, it's carbon fiber. Thank you, I think it would look better on black. And I know what you're talking about

I'm also thinking of getting that hood too, would carbon fiber look good on red?

Somebody on here has a red GXP with painted carbon fiber, it looks pretty good. Here's his CD.


Couple of old pics
