This is how she sat at the dealership the night I went to test drive. Bought the 2 that night after a long debate at the dealership regarding the trade in of my 06 GTO.
First thing I couldn't stand were the gigantic chrome nerf bars. Did some research on options and fell in love with the U-steps. Finally found a set for a great price. They were pretty beat up so I had them chemically stripped and PC'ed. Insanely better than those huge chrome nerfs.
Next was the DRL's change to LED's. The SMD's are quite a bit brighter than the stock bulbs and look a hell of a lot better.
Something I've always done is change over the interior to LED. Much brighter, crisper light.
After that I put in a Lev-o-Gage just for fun.
Next on the list was a Volant air box. I couldn't stand how much of a PITA it was to take the stock lid off so I opted for a Volant.
Pic of the silicone coupers and t-bolt clamps I used. The Volant adapter included is worthless.
After doing the fuel door I figured I might as well do the rims also. Get rid of all that chrome in one go!
Next I put in the CF look dash pieces.
Up next......the roof rack
Here are the 2 rear lights installed
Now onto the bigger project. I didn't like the idea of only 1 light in each section on the front of the rack so I opted to make my own double light brackets.
Started with a 1" x 4' piece of aluminum stock
Cut that down into 12" sections
After quite a bit of cutting, filing, drilling and threading we went from this
To this
Here is one of the brackets painted and ready for the rack.
Stay tuned, definitely more to come hopefully soon!
One switch runs the center 4 lights, one switch runs the outside 4 lights and the far switch runs the 2 rear lights.

Pics of the wiring for everything:
The wiring runs through the side marker trim down through the outside window trim, through the cowel cover down next to the side vents and into the engine compartment.
Center 4 lights on:
Outside 4 lights on:
Here is all 8 lights on:
And finally the rear lights:
I need to take it out somewhere very dark and see how these things light the road up. They seem very bright but we will see.
How in the world am I EVER going to keep up????!!!
Now we definitely need to meet up for lunch someplace soon. We have the same color H2. Mines is more of the chrome direction. But I must say that the black really sets it off nicely !!!
