What are you dropped on? And how are the red-out tails when the blinkers are on? Does it still show amber?

Not when I got the car lol. It had a cracked turbo manifold. The wastegate was also only bolted down with one bolt. I had to replace the bolts, get new gaskets, and get the manifold tig welded. It was about to break off the wastegate flange completely off..!

Did a little mini shoot of my car last night because we were bored. Didnt really have any spots to do it at night so its crappy

Here's the updates that I've held out on, for pictures.
Full authentic Auto Couture kit, filled and redrilled to 5x114.3 BMW 7 series wheels, 15mm front spacers to clear BBK, 97+ grill, 97+ fogs with 6k HIDs, and JDM bumper sidemarkers. Enjoy
