I wanted the dealer to do the install as it requires you to drill holes into the trunk, but they wanted $165. I said never mind and installed it myself. It wasn't hard drilling into the trunk at all. If there isn't a DIY I may post one as I took pics during my install. Here's a before and after.

I also did the red out tail light mod. I love how the tail lights are now a single color. Super easy to do and it's a cheap mod as well at just $13. Here's a before and after.

Sorry if I'm late on this but how did you get the tail lights all red?

It looks good but do you guys recommend it? Does it dim the turn signal light too much?

I may possibly do some interior leather inserts. Not sure what would match to still keep it classy and definitely go to coil overs instead of springs. ( although I love the current springs I have)

Don't waste your money. It made my turn signals look hazy. I also did the V3 LED turn signal mod and the red overlay actually made the car look cheap so I removed the vinyl. Much happier now and my LED modification looks awesome!

Simple mod, but thought i would share. After swapping out the led in the glovebox, i noticed the light doesnt turn off when you close it. So added a switch inside one of the rubber stoppers. Best part i think is you cant tell anything has been done.

My first mod. Photoshopped a custom logo for my door courtesy light. The touch of blue in the F-Sport badge make a bit more unique than any of the off-the shelf projectors. Going after a subwoofer replacement next.

Car looks amazing @donalinaj. Do you mind sharing the method you used for blacking out the chrome pieces? e.g. vinyl, plastidip, autodip, etc. I was looking to have it done here in Atlanta but I ran into a guy with a GSFsport who did the bumper himself with some vinyl off of amazon. He didn't have the chrome pieces done though so I'm hoping you can shed some light. Thanks
