Not yet! Been tied up on the hood for a bit! Depending in the weather I may get it in the next couple of days.

Have to come back later and wire them but got the ShowStopper Sequential LED Side Mirrors mounted in matte black!!!

Installed the Havoc diffuser today. If you are even thinking about this mod, don't do it. I read a ton of very negative reviews on this diffuser and still did it and now I regret it. I worked for hours to shape, alter, and tweak this thing to try to get it to fit correctly and hug the rear bumper as it should. In the end it's a piece of crap as so many others described it and the company putting it out should stop. Why it's simply not made to snap in place just like the OEM one I will never know but I suspect it's cost. Well guess what? I would have paid even more than I did to have it be right!!

Long story short it's still on and I am going to ponder other ideas for a bit. It's not returnable now and I paid to have it painted so I'm maybe 600 bucks into it now.....

Congrats on COTW! Your ride looks sweet!

As a businessman myself I think its important to followup on this post. Immediately after the post I reached out to IVS who makes this diffuser via email. I'm happy to say that I got a call almost immediately from an owner very aware of some problems with the product made by the company he bought just a few months ago. I walked away from that conversation feeling good that he is working as fast as possible to make improvements and willing to help me make it right. Given IVS is here in Michigan I pledged my support to help him if i could and feel confidant in this new owner.

Just over fifty bucks. Lol

Actually I consider money spent on my car like a woman's weight. We just don't talk about it. It's better for everyone that way. I also refuse to add it up out of fear that I may accidentally mutter the number in front of my wife.

Awesome job!!! Where did you get the hood graphics?

I'm in contact with them as well about the same issues. I sent them some pics today about how it's not fitting against the bumper and waiting on their reply. They told me we would fix this issue just waiting to see what they wamt me to do. I love this diffuser but it needs to fit better.
