My Own 1m Aw Little Project (updated)
Here is my 1M.
I have had it for 3 weeks but couldnt wait to make some mods on it. I have to say that when I first picked up the car I wasent 100% sold on the AW. It just looked too pretty... I wanted something more agressive. So I changed some small things, but made a huge diference to me. I am very happy with the results and I cant stop looking at it Mods: - tinted tail lights - window tint - painted black wheels. - CF spoiler - REMUS EXHAUST (rear only) - black grills - black side grills (courtesy of WABBIT) - aluminum pedals Future mods: - maybe CF mirror caps. - maybe black roof. - lamin x light tinted head lights - maybe REMUS mid pipes - maybe some type of black sutil tripes. Any suggestions on stripes? please let me know what you guys think Any suggestions? |

Very nice, clean car. AW is the best color for aesthetical mods, no doubt about that. Remus tips also looks cool.
2 very small upgrade suggestions: 1) You can buy a AW+gloss black M logo for the rear from IND or make it painted yourself, looks better than stock shiny piece. 2) You can switch to transparent/silver turn bulbs instead of the orange ones inside the headlight cluster. I did both and they look much better this way, very easy and cheap mods. A question: what is the % of tint at the rear lights? I am considering doing just the lower transparent section/rear lights. |

How much is to change the turn bulbs? Where can I buy them? About the tint. Its actually painted with polyester. The good thing about this is that I can take it off anytime in a couple of minutes. I actually tried a couple of diferent tones before deciding. I honestly dont know what % it is. Sorry... But its definitly a very light tone. |

You might want to black out (electrical tape!) the tiny white bridge below the "air curtain vent" that connects fender to lower lip. There are pictures of this on some thread and looks good for practically nothing.

Ah very nice. I've always wanted a S4RS white with the red stripe and frame or the SportClassic
