Done. Tapatalk seems to be having server issues regarding photo uploads so pics will have to wait until they fix or I get to a com.
All I can say is they are daaaaark again. :)

That looks mean! Police don't give you s**t for them being "non reflective" ?

In Ohio, you're waiting for a ticket to happen if you have your tails that dark! :lol:

Show me a picture in the daylight tomorrow as well, please!

Reflectors at the bottom on the bumper facia. Lol

No, I haven't had any flak from LEO about them. Was even pulled over by a state trooper and he didn't even mention it. My window tint is even way illegal. I've learned to be very cordial to the cops and most of the time they won't throw the book at you.
I deal with Ohio and Pennsylvania DOT and state police on a regular for work. They can be a picky bunch. lol

Hmm, a friend of mine got a ticket for no reflectors on the tail lights, that's the only reason I only did 2 really light coats on my tails.

Clear vinyl arrived today. This stuff is thick, 15mil so well see how it goes. Rear lights have a few strange but small contours that may prove challenging. Hopefully I'll get this on this weekend and all will be good.

Everyone in our house was sick last weekend with a nasty summer cold. Nothing got accomplished.

Another note:
A month ago, when I fixed the boost leak issues, I had a P0171 code pop up a few days later. Hmmm I thought figured it was fluke and erased it. She drove fine for a month until last Thursday. Bam, CEL and P0171 again. Did a live read and saw that AF correction was adding 15-20% fuel at idle. Erased and went on to believe I would look into it this past weekend but sickness insured this impossible.
Today got the code again. Logged AF correction again and saw nothing out of ordinary. Idle, part throttle and full throttle seem fine.
Code is only thrown when cruising on highway after about 10 minutes at consistent rpm and speed. Cold start idle seems to have gotten a bit choppy again for a brief time then she settles.
Guess I get to chase more leaks this weekend. Going to rip her guts out and comb through this cranky bitch.
New BPV flange gasket and inlet pipe on the way, just in case.
Also got ATR but was informed by Cobb that my map is locked. Communications with them were a bit slow regarding another hot start issue. In fairness I did inform them of some boost leaks and told them I would report back.
Frustrated now cause it seems a little shady that I can't view or alter something I paid for.
Seriously considering open source now but I have zero tuners within 200 miles. Would like to further mod the car but I feel chained with Cobb. Maybe now is a good time to start being self sufficient and learning the finer art of tuning? Scary thought though. Lol
