Just installed my surprise present from my GF, OEM front lip. Was going to save some money this year and get it next year, but I guess sooner is better than later . Extremely happy with the look of the car.

Thanks guys.
Once I take a nice pictures of my wheels, I will post them up lol
So I've been wanting to get my front grill repainted for a while now, the matte black looked good but the paint was porous and kept getting water spots. I figured since the bumper was going to be off I'd do the HID fog lights, since the factory ones basically do nothing and are more yellow than the headlights. Got them from Diode Dynamics and decided to go with 5000k to match the factory headlight color/temp. But now that they're on, I'm feeling like the are more white than the headlights now. Or maybe the yellow running lights/turn signals are making the headlights more yellow looking?
Does anyone have any suggestions for headlight bulbs that will be whiter than stock? And please tell me that I don't have to take the bumper off again to swap the headlight bulbs!

Get the HID bulbs from Diode Dynamics as well. I have 6k for both my fog and headlight and they match pretty well, not perfect, but very similar. While you are at it you might as well get the LED city lights, they get ride of that little yellow bulb at the top corner of the headlights.

And you don't have to take off you bumper
I actually have the DD city lights, but my shop suggested not do them because they said it would cause problems with the dash and computer. Sounded strange to me but I'm no expert.
^^^^Great shots, your G is really looking superb, and must say, very jealous of that particular stretch of road you were able to enjoy. Awesome!
Thanks for the kind words, Brad. It really was a fun road.

I was up there at the end of May but didn't get to take my car. Instead took a boosted 350z to help out a friend.
I have video of the dragons tail if you guys want some footage. I Mounted my tripod and my cannon dslr in the passenger seat of the Z lol
Thanks Gregor! I live in Northern, VA, so it was quite a hike to the Tail. I attended a wedding in GA, so I figured I'd drive down via the Blue Ridge Parkway and make a stop at Deals Gap. Was definitely worth it!
I bet Fall would be even better to go, although the scenery of the color changes might distract me from the road lol.
On a side note, the Dragon showed me that I need better pads. I'm running Hawk HPS 5.0 pads and they were not confidence inspiring. However, I was impressed (and surprised) with the grip my Conti ExtremeContact DWS 06 all seasons provided.

I've been using them for a few months now. No issues whatsoever. LED turn signals can cause hyper-blinking but that's about it; that can also be cured with a resistor!

+1 on the LED parking markers aka city lights. I've had them for many months w/o any issues.

Do you have the VLED switchbacks? Curious what color you purchased and if you have any pictures?
I'm going to try the VLED switchbacks because of the built in resistor, but confused about 5000k or 6000k. I have the DD 5000k HID fog lights, and I ordered the 5000k DD headlight and city light bulbs as you suggested. I'd like the color to match and from the another post, it sounds like 6000k is the answer.
Also wondering if for the sedan, do I need the standard or "CK" base?
