Nice job on the vinyl wrap. I did the same to my boot handle along with other bits n pieces. But what's wrong with you rear wiper...it looks tired!

Wanted to do something this weekend, and none of the "fun" things I've ordered have arrived, soooo...
Don't know if I will keep them or not yet, but I installed some 12" flexible LEDs in the gap between the bonnet and bumper for a cheapo faux Audi-ish DRL look...
Wired into the parking lights behind the wheel wells.
Cost = $20 (PepBoys)
Time = 1 hour

Shrink tubed the shifter shaft after the craven speed shift well cover install. I didn't care for the raw metal shaft.

I wanted the LED parking/fog lights actually but the cost seems too high for how little they're actually used.

I ordered LEDs for the parking lights on my 2012 base. I like them a lot and they are bright. They also contain the capacitor so they don't set off the dash with warning lights. Curious ......these don't set off a dash light? Even though they are wired into your parking lights?

Changed Parking lights- 194 white Canbus LEDs from E-bay. 5 elements, plug right in.. No warning light. Just a few bucks. Got 4 of them free shipping. Did the rear tag lights too. Takes all of 1 min to change the bulb.
1 st pic - Passenger side is the stock w5w bulb, drivers is LED.
2nd pic - all LED front end (minus HIDs and Fogs..).
Very happy with the light color.. Looks like a much brighter (whiter) light.

One LED unit contained 5 light elements.
They are installed as a standard w5w/194 bulb. No special stuff needed.
