    how do the new slotted rotors compare to the stock ones, is it worth spending 400 plus shipped for them if the stock ones are fine to begin with? Cause iw as thinking they might be my next mod.

    http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=192 this is the site i learned how to remove the center console. after the cup holder is removed then you drill the holes for the LEDs and i hot glues them so they stay put. run the wires to a power source the cig lighter is a good choice but will stay on when the car is on. i ran mine to the LED that lights the drive shifter so they turn off and on well i turn on the lights (not recommended because it's hard to get your hands in the small space)

    You are doing good so far.. I like the black Enkei more than the other two. It makes a good complement with your black out front end. :)

    i just installed LEDs on the rear seat. so now the floor board lights up. the lights turn on when i open the door. like the dome light but i turn my dome light off so you can see the LEDs. you know it's funny i like the gauge lights and etc. to be red but light the floor board abd etc. to light up blue. i don't know maybe it's just me.

    well i've gone and done it. i ordered the wheels and the RRM header. can't wait tell i get the stuff. i have a question though about the wheels how did you guy take care of the TPMS? did they just recaliberate the stock one or did they put new ones in. and what is the lug nut size for the GTS?

    well i got my header today, but it's the wrong one. i call RRM and the guys there were helpful there sending me the correct one and a return labal for the other.
