It said the only thing that doesn't make this car look clean is your bumper cover. And I believe I was at Target and when I came out I was like wtf is this on my window.

Someone at the school decided to run into a parked car in one of the parking lots and not leave a note.

Well here is a pic of the switches I am putting in. Hopefully going to be getting some vinyl to put over the acrylic plastic and with a CriCut I will be cutting the vinyl so that the letters for what each button is to be clear so that when a LED in the back is turned on it will shine through the letters. The switchboard is almost done!! I should add that I ended up having to put in less switches that what I planned to because the switches that I ordered were bigger than I thought they were going to be.

Re: Storm trooper!!! Update 6/20/12

Started to do some rewiring today for my strobe lights. I will have two switches for the front and two for the back so I can turn them on individually which will be extremely nice.

I also decided to go with some HID reverse lights to piss off tailgaters and actually be able to see when backing up at night.

Hopefully I will finish the wiring on Friday and will hopefully get some quotes on getting my spoiler painted because I am too timid of trying to paint it with a rattlecan. Hopefully on the list I will be getting both front and rear fascias painted black.
 
Re: Storm trooper!!! Update 6/23/12 Switchboard installed

Finally finished up my switchboard mount in the little cubby hole. It looks and works great I will be posting a video of it tomorrow. Here are some pics of it.

The light behind the faceplate only comes on if the car is on/key is turn to acc.

Edit: Excuse the messyness of the vehicle sine I had to take all the crap out of my center console so I could wire it more easily.
 
Re: Storm trooper!!! Update 6/14/12

You should stick a sheet of red film to the back to fill in the letters so it matches the rest of your dash / covers up the wiring. Nice work though.
 


Painted the rear fascia black and may go back and add some red to separate the black and white.

Decided to put some tint film on my front turn signals.

I also decided to wrap some CF on the front pillars and will have to order some more CF to do the sides and the back pillars.

I should add that my extra spoiler is going to be painted soon (dropping it off tomorrow), which will be painted black. The front fascia of the car should be painted fairly soon but with the humidity the paint wouldn't cure right.

Of course it's your car, but IMO, I would go with maybe a blue that matches your license plate. I dont see any other red on your car that would tie in to it.

Well I decided to do a red interior with leds and such so I wanted to bring that to the outside. The outside has red SPO grills and hopefully soon will be getting some new rims that are black with a red ring on the rim.
