I got my dual-slat off eBay from a Taiwan seller. It's a 98% fit (most can't tell the 2% and from 7' it looks perfect) and has stood up well.

Here's one...

You can pay more but, IMHO, why??

There is a very fine line with that. I suggest reading up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus...s_Warranty_Act

Well I picked the car this weekend! It's amazing.

On order so far is
gloss grill dual fin
New pedals
Front painted reflectors
Window tint tomorrow morning

H11 Led fogs not new but I am assuming I need resistors for them to work properly.

Completed:
Painted Callipers Black

Question the car has ambient lighting but I noticed the foot wells are not illuminated? This car has great ambient lighting, so I am surprised it doesn't have in the foot area for the driver and passenger?



Second question do you think a sun strip on the front windshield would look weird?

Do you mean a strip at the top of the windshield? I had my front windshield tinted 50% with a (IIRC) 7" limo-tint strip at the top.

I just went out and measured.... 8" at the edge and 6" in the middle. You can't imagine how much it helps; ESPECIALLY as the sun descends. The visors aren't low enough to block the sun for me.

Thank you! Appreciate the measurements. What about your footwell light do you have it? the ambient footwell light at night driving only.

Yes I do; though unless I select "modern" they aren't that visible. I also have to turn the intensity all the way up to see them. Having a black interior doesn't help...

Is your a LCI 2014? I do not have those settings on my 2013 to change the color type. I think the 2013 did not come with footwell light

Yes that's correct! I just finished installing my LED foglights CREE with no resistors and no bulb warning as of yet.

This car is fun to drive. Coming from an American SUV, it's not even a comparable , feels good to have that refinement again.

The tint just got done today and I am extremely happy. Just need to find some exhaust out here in Canada

Went out and checked. No foot-well light other than the courtesy light.
