I finally got all my accessories...

Here is my Velocity Red 8... finally the way it should have been delivered =)

Strakes, Spoiler, Aluminum Pedals, Aluminum Fuel Door, Rotary Accents, Exhaust Finishers, XM Stereo, MP3 Player, B-Pillar accents... I think thats it..

Im finally done.... Or maybe im not... still missing the Front Air Dam and side skirts.... Im still waiting to see if that will mess up my A/T.

Later guys!:D

Very nice...but

What about the clear corners? Unless, you just don't like the look. But, it would seem that you like adding appearance accessories, so I would recommend the clears...really looks good IMO.

Looks good, what about window tint? Dark windows look nice.

Whats involved with putting on the strakes? I assume they have a template for drilling or do they mount thru the vent grills?

The way I figure it... I paid all this money to get this thing lookin right... I want them to see who is driving it =) Strakes are a relatively easy install.... no drilling... and I didnt use the template... just line it up with the mesh on the black plastic insert...

Look nice, flyboy! I also suggest getting the clear corners - a relatively cheap upgrade that makes the car look much better.

Was it easy to line up the B-pillar thing and stick it on?

Yeah... reallly easy to put them on...but dont make a mistake...once they are on they are on forever. I used masking tape to line it all up like it showed in the directions. I think thats what i was supposed to do. Since the directions were all JAPANESE! Good thing it had pictures =)

I know what you mean about being seen in this car. I love all the nice young girls who pull up beside to take a look, problem is this old gray haired man is sitting in it, oops that me!

Only as old as you feel, and I feel young again. Now where did I put that grecian44 hair color stuff?
