ctnewman · 12-29-2008, 10:59 AM

Drove to NYC w/ my dad's truck and a uhaul trailer on saturday, stayed in a cool hotel, drove back last night. Nothing too eventful about the trip, here's some pics once i got it home...

And then i installed some of the CF parts that it came with. Fit on the cf stuff is only so-so... Not sure if i'm going to keep them on there, but i think they look really rad... I really want CF side scoops.

Other stuff it came with...

CF rear diffuser

Sector 111 trunk Boot liner

HIDs

Arquay Titanium Exhaust

Reaer panel Delete and rear tow hook

ALSO:

Rear panel delete, exhaust, CF diffuser and tow hook installed...

kinda did my own thing w/ the hook... Pics kinda stink but it looks BURLY AS FUCK. I love the rear panel delete!!! Also, all the fasterners for the rear diffuser were replaced w/ 1/4 turn fasteners for quick removal!

Keep doing little dumb shit because I like being in the car...

Painted my climate control surround. Before it was shitty grey plastic:

Just painted it Flat black to match the rest of the interior:

Also painted the numbers on my shift knob, lol...

Installed HIDS:

I also ordered some LEDs for the parking lights so they match the HIDs.

Then I got these in:

Installed: (pics stink... it was dark and late and my camera was dying)

Pics of 355?

Some of these cars look really hot...

ctnewman · 01-12-2009, 07:22 AM

After owning an elise and appreciating it's spartan interior, I'm kind of pushing this car to be a little more... "nice" inside. That said, even though i think the exposed aluminum inside the car is "racey", I'm going to try and "class up" the interior of my exige a bit... So i decided to get rid of some of the exposed aluminum by vinyl wrapping some of it... I figure if i hate it, i'll just peel it off.

Was kind of a pain in the butt to do the floor. Had to apply it dry, because the contour of the floor made it impossible to squeeze out misted water. Each one took about 4 attempts and almost an hour to get installed.

Also wrapped the center gusset, which isn't a gusset at all and is only held in place by 4 plastic tabs... Go figure.

BEFORE:

AFTER

I might put the lotus sport logo down there in silver, just to rice it out a little bit:
(PHOTOSHOP I DID)

ctnewman · 01-12-2009, 11:33 PM

Did a few more little things...

1) Installed LEDs in the parking lights
2) Installed Bane's stealth bulbs
3) Blacked out the front amber side markers
4) Installed LED festoon bulbs in the license plate bracket

1) I have DDM 6000K HIDs. The incandescent parking lights did not look good next to nice white/blue color of the HIDs (obviously)

Here is a pic of HIDs + OEM parking lights:

Here is a pic of just the OEM parking lights:

I purchased two types of bulbs from superbrightleds.com

in WHITE

and

in COOL WHITE

I probably should have gotten the wled-x6 in "natural white, because it turned out pretty blue. However, it wasn't a big deal because the -whp9 looked SOOO much better.

Installed:
-x6:

-whp9

It's hard to tell in the pic, but the whp9 illuminates MUCH better than the -x6. Definitely the better choice (and 3 times the price!!)

Here's a pic of both -whp9 with the HIDs on:

2: Installed stealth bulbs in the turn signals... not a lot to say here, you used to be able to see the amber bulb lurking inside the small inboard housing, but not anymore.
Reference pic:

Here's a pic:

3: Blacked out the amber sidemarker... Used overlays that i bought for my first lotus from stickercity.com that i never wound up installing them. Somehow i managed to not lose them. I only put them on the front for now, i think it might be a bit much if also installed on the rear. I hate amber, but i don't mind red. I like the way they look!

Some pics:

4: Lastly I installed these LED bulbs in the license plate area:

Got "cool white" it's definitely pretty blue, but not as blue as the pictures seem to show. It's probably about equivalent to an 8K hid bulb. I think it looks really fu!cking good though, especially because there are no other "white-ish" bulbs in that area. (rear end is now red, white, and blue-ish!!! sooo patriotic)

Stock:

LED:

drftwerks · 01-13-2009, 12:04 AM

you should see if they have ganadors for this car.

*GSXRJJordan* · 01-13-2009, 12:11 AM

You've motivated me to get LED lights for my license plate lol. Looks so baller.
