upgraded reverse bulbs. firs tpic shows the difference in bulbs
Does it make much of a difference with the reverse cam? I find that reverse LEDs are brighter but don't shine much of their light at the ground, they just shoot straight back it seems. Brighter LED license bulbs give a much better camera affect if that's what you're going for.

I have both LED license plate lights and reverse lights and my rear end looks pretty bright in the camera. I'll snap a pic later today
haven't done all them yet but tested a extra rim I had, Plati dipped, 2 coats blk, 2 coats bronze 2 coats clear, I will do my wheels when they come off next month

Here's a picture of my reverse light LEDs and license plate light LEDs. Looks like the reverse lights actually do project very far and light up the view nicely. The license plate lights cover just a little area on their own, but together they illuminate pretty much everything. License plate lights off on the top pic, and on in the bottom pic (should be easy to tell).
Finished the brakes today. I am pleased with how they came out but they just don't look all that good with the coupe 18's. But that will be fixed sooner than I expected. I got a good deal on some nismo wheels. That should do it.
I also added some spacers to the bottom of the rear springs to lift the rear and get rid of the "droopy bum" look.
The absolute best thing I did was swap out the trans fluid with Redline MT-85. Really makes a difference with the 6MT.
New lugs!! Thanks to everyone who responded to my query. I ended up going with the McGard's. I'll have install pics after I clean her up a bit, providing that today isn't a complete washout.
Are you going to buy another 4-pack to replace the lock-nuts? It wasn't until I installed the McGards that I realized how much one of these things is not like the other. That's when I gave in to the rationale that McGard uses a proprietary 8-sided spline-drive socket, and having McGards on the wheel was probably just as much a theft deterrent as having a lock nut.

Did you have to add spacers for the BBK to fit with the 18" coupe wheels?
