I have the same problem from when I was messing around with some interior ambient lighting strip on the driver's side door, I put the door panel back on and there's an awful gap from the glass up by the steering wheel. I pulled off and put it back on twice and couldn't get it to lay flat against the glass like this. Gonna have to go at it again but this time mindful of those "hooks" at the top and that extra plastic panel you pointed out below the window. Thank you!

While the festoon led bulbs is a good upgrade. Those will not last. I say that because with good amount of power. There’s no heatsink to dissipate heat properly. And it will start flickering. In my experience with brishine for roughly 4 months. They started to flicker. For reliability and longevity, I would go for sylvania standard led festoon bulbs: Or if u want the high performance festoon led bulbs that’s design properly, definitely considered Lasfit - L series.l festoon led. For 28mm size, it only uses 3 pieces of 3030 SMD led chips. And it makes 2.8W per bulb. And we have them on our vehicles. My god what a major punch of light. For license plate light. U want soenthing that’s truly reliable and definitely brighter than a stock. Highly recommend Sylvania zevo T10. It has a diffuse lens which it disburse the light output. Or u want to make them brighter. Pop the diffuse lens to expose a single SMD led. Which honestly, 1 led is enough for the license plate lights. Right now ur enjoying ur nice led ligirjt upgrade. So enjoy them man. But these are my recommendations that to my honest opinion, u deserve better quality that’s truly worth ur money. So put them on ur list, if anything goes wrong. My 3 top recommendations for 90% of the vehicle, is Lasfit, Auxito, and Sylvania led and Sylvania zevo led for the lifetime warranty.

Great question! Based on some quick research I did from the Fiat 124 forums, I see there is someone that has installed these Revlimiter gauges on their Fiat 124. They went with a yellow face as well for the tach (like in this video). When making your order, I would highly recommend noting you have a Fiat 124 to ensure there aren't any small adjustments/tweaks that need to be made. Adam was super responsive and was very easy to work with in the process. While I'm not affiliated with Revlimiter.net (and I also paid full retail price + extra for custom design time) for these gauges, it would be cool to mention my name - Sean Stettnichs - in your inquiry. I told Adam I would create a "how-to" video when I ordered these gauges. I'm sure he'd like to know it helped him out too. Good luck! It'd be cool to see how yours turn out too on the 124!

Thank you for sharing this video. The finished job is awesome in profile look and sound. When shopping for my 2024 MX5 RF GT, two things are absolutely required. 1. Only red in color and 2, must have a quad exhaust tips. After three months of active delearship engagement and even wanting to "special" order the car, I went ahead and wrote a check for Soul Red RF without the quad exhaust tips. Mazda does not make them with quad tips according to the delearship. I was also told that any after sale mods would affect the warranty on the car. I wrote an out-the-door check for the car. This is my second two-seater car, the first a dark blue 62 MGB and my fourth convertible with a 65 Mustang the first. Also a T-Top Nissan Pulsar. So, what is the price range for the modification? Can or will the delearship do the mod? Is there a reputable garage in my area that would do the quality work like yours? Thank you and would appreciate your response.
@SeanStettnichs 18 күн бұрын
@@federiconalos8202 thank you! I thought it turned out very well. I, too, really feel Mazda should have made these cars with quad tips from the factory. I also have an e46 BMW M3. I left the factory exhaust alone as it already looks great (quad tips). This project was a little intimidating at first since you have to cut the factory bumper cover (irreversible), but now that the job is done I can say it wasn't that difficult. Patience is key! My car is a 2020 with 42,000+ miles, so I wasn't concerned about the factory warranty. As far as your warranty goes, you can put the factory exhaust back on easily since this mod is axle-back only. The bumper cutout would still be there of course, but I can't see how that would have any impact on warranty work (if needed). I'm sure just about any local mechanic or exhaust shop would be able to complete this mod for you. Where are you located? My biggest worry about someone else doing the work would be how much time they spend on the bumper cutout. It might be expensive to have someone do it for you...OR worse yet, they might not make the cuts as clean. Mine isn't perfect, but it's very close to the OEM cutout. The exhaust in the video was about $550 shipped from Italy to Iowa. Exchange rates and your location will likely impact that price. I had shopped dual (or quad) exhausts a lot before buying this one, and it was definitely on the lower side in terms of cost compared to others. I hope this info helps! Good luck! 👍
@federiconalos8202 18 күн бұрын
thank you so much for your quick response. I'm in northeastern Florida, and my car is almost 3 months old with 293 miles. I envy the look of the quad exhaust tips on your car.

One of the first major mods that I did to my ND2 RF was install a GReddy SP Supreme axle-back exhaust. The stock muffler sounds like a sewing machine! The GReddy sounds deep and growly. It’s a bit louder now due to the HKS GT2 Supercharger, Skunk2 header and Magnaflow mid-pipe.
