Yes, if you walk up to the light housing and look directly in, you can see the orange LED's that are soldered to the PCB, but personally I think it's farrrr less noticeable than the 'egg yolk' look of the factory incandescent bulbs! That's why I posted the video, and held the camera level with the housing to try and give a real world view of how they turned out. From more than a foot or two away they are invisible, as I tried to show in the video. I've been very happy with the new aesthetics of the LED bulbs.

Also, if anyone else has any useful info, it'd be great to cross-post in the original thread about LED Bulbs to keep the info. consolidated for folks like me that were looking for these kind of awesome tips!

Just added RR-Racing carbon fiber intake tube with their air/oil separator. Install took less than an hour to do and that included cutting the engine cover, which I still have a little clean-up to do on it.....but here are the pics...

I think you hooked up the pipe wrong it looks like you hooked them to the breather pipes instead of the pcv pipe.

Thanks, it was just a cheap unit off EBay. $10 I think. But it matched really well.

It is in the directions to trim the cover. The original bracket was developed for ISF and on an RCF it hits the thumb screws. I'm sure they trimmed yours unless they changed the bracket design recently.

RR racing Carbon Fiber overlay

My review is under the vendor section.
I really like it. Subtle. More cohesive look with the factory dark chrome. #wannabeGSF

Hopefully it doesn't cost $4k like the GS F piece does...

I told the wife how much it cost to ensure she doesn't run it into a sleeping policeman.
