I had the V3 tritons in amber only for my coupe and it was the brightest and BEST LED turn signal I've seen other than those that come stock with LEDs. Was really happy with them.

Also word of advice, if your front lip is new, I would try to get clear bra (XPEL) installed on it prior to connecting it to your car. The lip loves picking up road debris especially here in NE and will get pitted in a few months. Your car is also slammed so that's not going to help

I suspect you'll move a lot faster on this mod than I did. Like, before the snow melts. Anyway, here's a pic:



What you can't see in this photo is the TWM Short-Shifter, custom stand-off, and RJM clutch pedal assembly. It all comes together as a fantastic driving experience.

The Ark is hands down the most exotic of the three in both design and noise, but with gaudy tips and questionable fitment.

Pretty easy to gather some opinions on those choices, to build a pro/con list. But assessing that list for a decision... that's always a personal choice, with no wrong answer.

If you can stand to wait another 7 months, come to this year's G meet. There will be lots of examples of all different kinds of exhausts. Look and listen for yourself before deciding.

some other considerations for a shift ****. I've had my Nismo Titanium shift **** on all my 6-my cars. Love it!

Thanks for the picture! I will definitely be looking for something clean and subtle and have seen a few ideas on shifter and boots that I like. Will be looking to do interior more towards the spring/summer. I for sure want to do shifter boot, ****, short shifter, steering wheel, and the RJM clutch pedal assembly. All that together will for sure change the driving experience. Im very curious the feel of the RJM pedal!

Thanks for all the feedback once again! I did some research and came to the same conclusions you have provided. I decided to go with a FI cat back exhaust with 12" resonators! I already have the exhaust and should hopefully be installing this week

UPDATE!

Recently got my RGB Halos installed in my headlights and I love them! Also was able to pick up a set of Sway Bars from forum member Goonz and a FI catback exhaust! Both of which I still need to install along with my Stillen Gen 3 Intakes! More to come

Great parts you've picked up & those halos came out looking nice. You've been on a fast track, way to stay the course!

I'm somewhat predisposed not to like halos, and yet I totally agree, Newt. Very attractive mod, OP. Love the look when amber.

IDK how you're doing all this stuff so quickly. FI has a 12 -14 week queue on CB orders.

Used sways... smart man.

I got lucky and found a member who was selling a 1 month old FI exhaust for sale! I can barley tell it has been used and saved hundreds from the retail price

Very nice, Goonz. And GTK that FI is cranking them out faster now, with shorter delivery estimates.

But seriously, you would only know that 6-8 weeks from now.

Good to see a few more MT sedan builds popping up.

Looks great!
