I used a different way to splice and place my wires for my interior led's. I removed my center console and placed the wires in there. when i put my center console back together i put the control box inside the center console, mounting it to the small plastic plate. i drilled the screws into the carpet under the rear passenger seats for mounting the rear lights; i ziptied the front ones to wiring harness under the dash so the lights weren't visable; only the glow. hope this helps, im not much of a describer haha

But BR07 has several other sweet mods I also gypped from him, like suede headliner/A-pillars. I can throw some pics up if you want, but the A pillar wrapped in suede made my interior look 100 times nicer and even took care of a few rattles. Plus the ladies love the soft
hahaha thats true the ladies do love the soft.

pictures would be very nice of you. Also could you direct me to where you saw BR07's mods you were talking about.

I will take any excuse to post pics lol! But keep in mind, my camera was a cell phone, and you should revert to 07BLACK's pics as his really show the nice shiny deep texture that you get with suede. By contrast, my camera just makes my A pillars look fuzzy =/ Great looking mod if you see it in person though!







My apologies for not being clear, I meant to say one of the two mods I got from 07BLACKGT were in the thread I linked at the top of my previous post, you should find the LED footwell lights mod walkthrough on page 2 (I think) of that thread, and the (other) suede headliner/A-pillar mod that 07BLACKGT also wrote here.

Just let us know if you have any other questions. I can understand any paranoia, as I pretty much pick this forum's brains apart on the smallest of things haha.

Shorty antenna. I bought a leetle one from Craven Speed. Aluminium louvers were awesome on my GT Coupe. Blacked out decklid, tinted blinkers, Both billet aluminum grills without badging, painted headlights that matched the body color, 2010 (or the upcoming 2013 style) taillights with sequential harnesses, new darker tint. 255's all the way around (or larger if you like.) Agent 47 Mirrors. TCI Ratchet Shifter (or Aftermarket Hurst if you're a manual guy.) CDC Chin spoiler...

Lots of little stuff to add.

Ooh oh, the aluminum plug that fills the gaping 9v plug in the dash. God, that was probably my favorite aftermarket bit. So much better. I THINK I got it from AM.

Could be wrong.

Thanks man! I paid about $30-40 for the suede (heavy duty stuff from Jo Ann fabrics) but it was on like a 40% off sale. The places around here have those sales A TON so I just waited until one of them was on and went out and got like 4 meters of it (I think) and had enough to do the pillars and the roof.

Then I got the 3M fabric adhesive, about $10, so I think total I paid less than like $60 for the mod. Great value though, and people always love it.
