Thanks. I'd like to paint the insert on mine, so I'm mostly interested in how you disassembled the badge to get to the piece behind the chrome.

I didnt have to disassemble it. The inserts pop right in. :thumbsup:

No camera in mine, but could not live without this mirror.

I think you would like some non tinted OEM LED tails

NO DOUBT!

But I'm a dad of 3 baby girls. $700 is a lot of money and is better spent on them. You'll notice how long it took me to save up and justify the window tint. $45 for smoked markers? I can easily justify that. I'm a dad first, car enthusiast second.

If some of you guys saw my girls' monthly pre-school bill, and then combine them with my wife's student loan bills and my student loan bills, you'd choke.

You are soo lucky that you got the needle sweep done....mine won't do it, because apparently my tach is not compatible!

PS props for the wife and your little ladies for letting you work on the car! :w00t:
