I totally love the craftmanship of the install and the cleanliness of it all. I can't wait till it's broken in and it's tuned.

Cool

The craftsmanship looks good, they took their time and did things pretty much the way I would have.

Couple things I see:

1) you need a protective cover over the positive terminal on your battery - very dangerous not to have, and I don't see one on there

B) not feeling the red glow. To each his own on that, but I think it stuns the eyes and lowers the appearance of the details that went into the setup since red is an overwhelming color.

Hopefully once you get it all broken in and tuned properly it was worth the time and money spent. That's about all you can ask in the end.

Big Mack. I hear ya On the protective cover. I didn't see Stinger offer a cover for those terminals. Il take a closer look.

The red lights were chosen because I have all red in the engine compartment and red lights in the interior. For show points, the red had to flow from front to rear. Those pics were taken with all lights off to give it a night feel. During the day you can't see the red as much.

It's a Figs. It had to be custom modified because it's made for an IS300.

They might not - those look like Scosche terminals.

I understand needing the synergy throughout, but I don't know that the lights on the doors would be terribly effective for their purpose of lighting up the puddles (or anything else, really). As I said, to each his own.
