No, they are stock. But I did change the blinker bulb to get rid of the "egg yolk" effect.

They were cheap, got them off ebay. And yes it's legal because when they blink, they are still orange. It's just coated with chrome.

Nice!

I read the write-up on Fortitude as well. Looks like you have a really nice setup at the moment and what a beautiful track! I'm very envious, of your track day, not having to wait out a long winter to drive your car hard. LOL


Cheers!

Thanks Chef. It's one amazing track, well worth the money IMO. It's not everyday you get a chance to drive on a track that Pro's do, unless you live in Monaco.

Kinda hard to rub with my set up.

The S-line springsare barely an inch from stock sports. So zero rubbing even with 3 people in the back over speed bumps.

what great pictures! I love your car, and i really like your lights. I might do that to my own!
And...is that the S3 grill? clever, turning the 3 backwards, therefore nobody can whine at you for "not really having an s3"
