Why can't they change something useful like....a freakin' backup camera or better placed cig power plugs. Sigh.
The signal mirrors are a nice touch as is the front bumper. Not feeling the rear lights.

Agreed that they need better power outlet locations. The backup camera seems pretty good right now, and even shows a clear bright picture at night - what don't you like about it?

...or in pictures. LOL.
This is completely off-topic, but the stock 2IS tails also have LED's facing the rear in addition to what flipside909 mentioned. It uses a combination of "regular" bulbs and LED's to make the brake lights. They just don't look like the Nissan and BMW LED tail lights. The next time you're driving behind a 2IS, play close attention to how fast the brake lights come on. The "instantaneous on" is a dead giveaway of LED lights.

The main brake lamp bulbs in the quarter mounted and trunk mounted lamps are certainly LED. They are a larger LED, similar to what's found in your CHMSL.
