So you pulled the JDM tails?

The OE tails that are on the car now - did you paint the inside of the housings?

Those are actually the JDM tails back in. Inside of the housing was painted and I had them modded. GTR mod, two red halos with an inner Amber halo around the turn signal. I shot a quick video but it's on my phone and I don't want to upload it to YouTube while I'm in Europe.

I picked up a new DSLR so I'll try that out on it when I get home too. Since, of course, I forgot it.

That sounds utterly complicated but equally interesting, at the same time.

Try texting it to me - if that goes through, perhaps I can upload it.

Started my eTune process finally. Hopefully by next weekend the tune will be complete until I can get it to a dyno for tweaking if needed.

Other progress is going slow, found an ARC oil cap but I think I'm going to trade it for the Top Secret I originally wanted. Sold my anniversary winkers but have a new kit on the way which I'll install on the power folding mirrors. It looks like the side view camera function will work if I can figure out how to wire it.

Tried out some things and wound up with an evolution of oil caps. OEM, custom painted NISMO, ARC and finally landed on Top Secret

Just a stellar job all around, that engine bay is almost too awesome to close the hood.

Rex did you get your ecutek tune done? Considering going with the same tuner but debating if I should drive the 6 hours to get on the dyno or just go with the etune... looking for your experience and opinions on the process etc? Thanks

I'm sorry guys, this will be a repeat for Justin but I've been swamped and haven't done the tune yet. Current plan is to tune and start data logging tomorrow for tweaking. So far John has been great to deal with and its all gone smoothly though.
