What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
Borrowed a buddy's shop/lift Saturday. Added my front bumper foam, added the plastic bumper clips that install in front of the headlights. Readjusted my aac brackets and fixed my bumper sag!
Then I popped off my rear wheels and added camber bolts. I maxed these bolts out (which isn't much) and might be running around -1* on the rear now.
My wife snapped a pic of me in the process.
Slight negative camber on the rear
Also painted my CR3 Brackets Matte Black

i'm hoping the MEAN will carry over to the P5 since it's white as well.
Also had the idea of an LED mod to the tail lights
The Retrofit Source offers halo LED rings. . .
Thinking on installing 3 sets
1 red in the turn signal
1 red in the reverse light
1 white in the reverse light
So, i'd have the normal parking lamps halogen, but when the brakes are applied, you'd get the halogen as well as 2 LED rings in red
Then in the reverse, the white LED ring would come on with the halgoen

That's exactly what I thought. With white or black cars, you can use any color as an accent color. I have to be careful what colors I use on my dark blue car.
So all 3 have halogen bulbs, then turn and reverse have an added LED halo. applying brakes causes the brake bulb to light both filaments, and the halos in the turn and reverse would come on. That was be awesome. I would consider using the halo in the turn signal to flash when turning before having a backup halo. It would be great if you could have the halos sequential when turning

Where did u hear the clunk? On ps side?? I have the same issue too.especially on dirt roads I hear it.
All 3 would still be halogens
Brakes: halogen as well as red LED rings in both the turn signal and reverse (all lighting up under braking)
Turn signal: Halogen (with mentioned red LED only lighting up with brakes)
Reverse: Halogen (with mentioned red LED only lighting up with brakes-possibly adding a white LED ring to assist the halogen on reverse as well)
She's already said no to the sequential wiring

I'm still debating on whether to do this or the 6 wiper mod

I use mine every morning to clear the dew off my window 
It's super-useful in the winter, but I guess a good portion of you don't have to worry about that...
