He has about the same miles. Has 6000k lows and fogs and 20s but that's it, rest is all stock.

Needs low now!!

Next on the list. Starting off with a 2/4 with those 18s I have now.
Then figure out what stance and tire/wheel combo I want with most likely a 5/7 and bags all around.

Wanted 20s. Then realized I need 22s in my life. Plan on oem not reps.
Im in alaska so 24s just aren't practical.

This is gonna be brief as I'm on a layover in seattle, on my way to japan with final destination Phillipines. Beaches and tequila for the next month :p
Anyway I've been busy working and getting the trip situated that's why modding had hit a halt. Was able to finish the second row footwell lights.
Again used a b6 passat footwell light housing. I like it cause its enclosed in an area that will catch debris and possibly the occasional water splash from passengers feet lol.

Ok the other side got done but no pics. But you get the idea. It's nice knowing if a bulb goes out its an easy 10 second job to replace. And it shines nicely if I don't say so myself ;)
Ok I'm signing out, see you guys next month

Ok a bit of an update.
Had the denali 3 piece 6.0 engine cover for quite awhile now. Been taking up room in the garage so I slapped it on real quick. Later I'll paint it along with other some other engine compartment pieces. It's 100% bolt on for the 5.3 and gives the engine bay a sleek modern look. All you need is a 10mm and 8mm socket.

Drivers side straight forward. Like it up and you'll see the screw holes on the intake system.

Passenger has the hose clamps. Just unbold the bracket off your 5.3 and remove it. Only held on by one 10mm bolt. Again line it up and you'll see the screw holes.

.
The middle piece you can use the 6.0 cover and lie to everyone or trace out the cut outs onto your 5.3 cover and use that. For now I'm temporarily using the 6.0 cover till I finish my 5.3 cover at a later date.
