Hey dude, I was originally going to get Scaras, but I love the Beils because they're like an updated version of the Euroline DHs that I have. It was a pretty hard decision between Beils and Scaras, but since I've never seen Beils on an SC before, I wanted to do it first. Man, I love my neck pillows btw, I use it soooo much, hope you get them soon. It makes driving that much more relaxing when you can rest your neck, haha. I got my mirrors off ebay, I am pretty handy with a dremel, so I am taking the LED part off those inserts and grafting it onto the stock side mirrors instead. Maybe I'll do a DIY on it for others to see.

Anyways, stay tune for more updates and pix.

Please do a write up on those ebay side mirrors!!! I have had that idea for sometime now but I know that cover is going to be too bulky so just taking the the actual lights would be the way to go. Curious as to how you get it on our sidemirrors so any help would be great!!!

Yeah I love both the Beils and the Scaras. I really want the new version of the Scara Japan they just released this past January 09. I cant wait to see what the car looks like when everything is on. Im staying tuned.

Alright, here's a little update for you guys. I still haven't install my sideskirts back on yet because I still need to wire up the puddle lights. I am working on molding some LED winker side mirrors. They look pretty nice, need to find time to do this when it's not raining. Hopefully Sunday, I can install my LS400 BBK, which I need really bad because the stock SC 2-piston brakes are horrible. Anyways, I got a few more mods before a full paint job. Here are some pictures:

Decided to paint my LS400 BBK gold, I am really happy with the way it turned out.







Here's the winker mirrors I am working on molding:



Here's some close up macro pictures of the puddle lights:









Here's a sneak peek at my latest major mod:

Oh, they're coming, my sideskirts are still off the car right now. I'll take some better pix when I get all the parts together.

You have got to let me know romeo291 how you did the winker mirrors. I have been wanting to do this for the longest time but just need someone to point me in the right direction on how to get it done right. Great progress and can't wait to see it all put together.
