You really can't mess up, if you don't like it then peel it off and that's fun to do as well. lol

I actually want to add the quad lights to mine. Just have other projects in the works right now. Those are nice!

Did you do the install yourself by chance? I would like to see the process to get the quad lights up front.

Thanks....looks great.

thought about it... probably choking on its wiring harnesses right about now. Order Statius is still 'Waiting for Production' though it's been underway since the 17th... unlike the previous 2 MINIs, this time I have two kids and work is nuts, so I don't have a good sense of where it's in the production. Last time I was all 'My MINI is getting painted today.' to no one locally who cared, but this time, it's a blur thanks to my schedule. But it went into production 13 hours after order, so you have to like that business...

I installed he quad VIP lights on my own. Kit is complete and it was easy to do. Toughest part was the grille cut out cuz I did not have the proper tool in Reno but I got it done. The base kit comes with hook up to fogs but i wanted to hook them to the brights so VIP sent me an extra length of wire with proper connectors.

I was on the fence about the quad lights but they really make the car stand out.

Tinted the Stormtrooper today.

5% front visor, back glass, and small back windows. 20% on the 4 doors. Was dusk by the time we finished so i didn't get good pic. will post some day light pics tomorrow.

Will have to settle for my dad concentrating on a cut on the little windows for now.

Hey Mical what side turn signals did you end up going with?(# and brand) & where did you purchase them?.... I recently did my fogs and front turn signals I went with Hoen brand, but I was unsure of which bulbs to order from them for the side signal ones....thanks in advance for the info bro
