since then I've plasti dipped the grill, removed the dealer plate frame (they're PSed out of these shots) and added a 4300k HID kit. The rear sway is on it's way...

dipped grill, but surround and badge edge left chrome (basically 2.5i look a like). This is a quick driveway shot!:

I also put in LEDs in the dome light, trunk light and license plate lights as well as installed 4300k HIDs. Tint comes tomorrow, going 35% on the front doors, 20% for the rest.

Very nice jacobsen1! Can't wait to see tint shots.

 

Can you please share what led bulb types go into the respective places you did the Mods to? Asking cause I'm interested in doing that as well and it would help order those led's.

 

Also would love to see pics of led Mods :-)

Can anyone tell me if the headlights are different on the 2.5i and the Premium/Limited? Thinking about placing an order this week and the dealer wasn't able to tell me when I called up. If you could post pictures as well that would be great.

Oh My!

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that blue color but wish it'd been available with the black interior... But yeah, black and blue seats with a tan interior? :eek:

 

jacobsen1, very nice job! I wish front tints were legal where i live.... I will still likely get the fronts done, but with a VERY light tint.... Looking forward to more pics after you get the tint done!

 

tint's aren't legal here that I know. At least they weren't when I moved here but I kept them (from MT) anyway. Today the installer (lives in MA but does work for RI people and "knows" the laws) said I can do anything I want behind the B pillars but the front doors "have to be 70%". I got 35% on the front doors and 20% on the back and rear. I LOVE it!!!

I went with diode dynamics. I bought their stage 1 (I think, I'll look it up before writing a proper review) LEDs in "cool white" for the dome, trunk and license plates. I also have their 4300k HID kit. They're all great upgrades worth the money and time. I know some people HATE aftermarket HIDs so I won't go there (but I will say the stock headlights in the car SUCK!).

the 2.5i has the same housing and light as the premium. I'm not sure when HIDs get included in the car in terms of a package or if going limited is enough. But they look the same from the outside. The HID kit from the factory has different projectors and all the other goodies inside/under the hood. But one thing I DO know is the 2.5i lights are painted silver inside, behind the lens but in front of the lights where the limited and premium are both painted black! (the grills go the other way, 2.5i grills are black, the rest are silver).

 

on to some quick pics on the way home from work tonight:

headlights off:

here you can see the LED license plate bulbs:

I went with 35% tint on the front doors. 20% tint on the back doors and back window. The 3rd light is built in on the 2015s so he had to cut a stupid hole around it to get the tint to stick...

 

I will say having driven in the dark with the HIDs now, it's "night and day" the difference between them and the stock bulbs. I think I'll be OK w/o lowering them but I'll keep an eye out for getting flashed... They light up so much further down the road though. I'll get new high beam bulbs soonish so they're color matched as well. Right now there's a very obvious yellow portion of the light above the cut off when the brights are on.

 

Tint I'm also in love with. I always do it to my cars and it's just shocking how nice it is after 1.5 weeks w/o it. No more dimming the rear mirror when someone is behind me or dealing with sun glare in the early or late hours. :cool:

jacobsen1 Thanks for the info and the images! Good stuff!

 

PS Checked out your website with photo blog and totally loved it! I'll be reading more when I have a chance on switching to Fuji. A ton of great info and thoughts. I'm on Canon too, so this is very relevant to my situation. Thank you!
