Default Got my exports installed

This to me is my first and last Ricer mod. I think it looks cool though. but ahh whateva Simple to install after I realized the small bulb was worthless. I used some F4 style tape to seal off the small bulb socket then modified the export housing to accept the US style sockets.

LOL I know (exhaust tips). I am going to run the TSP Rumbler with CME exits to give it that cool "SS" look with a set of ***** behind it not this mouse fart exhaust. I like loud it lets me know when to shift. But that will be after Christmas I have to go fly and see the kids w/ gifts in hand. Thanks on the compliments though!

I definitely agree. There is just something about those lights that always seem to catch my eye.

I was looking at the pictures not knowing what 'exports' were, and couldn't see anything ricer about the car, or different for that matter. Looks good & clean.

I had to look at the before and afters a couple times before i saw what was different. Very subtle and they look good, but i know i couldn't differentiate the two if i just looked at them.

I cant stand the # plates! I guess I can go all export but then I have to deal with them stupid lights in the bumper. THats really gross looking. So I just fabbed up extension brackets to mount the plate. The first set we had broke off during my 155+ run. It couldn't hack it.
