Yeah, the big stupid **** kills it. Looks better with my other trunk lid on it. It started out as a $65 joke to **** off the wife. It worked, and I haven't bothered to take it off. Pissed her off more that there is a miata trunk lid hanging on the wall in the bedroom. On the plus side, when I do swap them back I can hang it in the bathroom as a towel rack.

Nah. Lights are just kinda my thing. Upgraded everything in my house to led. Have a crazy *** 30 foot tall led stadium light in my front yard, I even have led accent lighting in my bathroom and under the eve of my house. As well as my bed. I'm known for always having some of the brightest flashlights as well. Pretty sure I was a moth in a previous life.

I mean, they do work.... But it's kinda like trying to paint the Mona Lisa with crayons. Sitting at 10 psi on 91(california) pump gas and I've kinda hit the limit where I can't take it any further without grenading the engine. It is fun to drive though regardless. Just in that endless struggle for more before I go pick up an NB and attempt to LS swap it. Figure if I had the 5500 to throw away for this SC kit, anything is possible.
