PlastiDip'd my rear bumper to give it a more aggressive look ala GTS (I pretty much have all the GTS options except for wide body).

I think he means the exterior. If he has a base 3.6, I don't think the power kit works with that motor. But I may be wrong.

Finally home & decided to do a quick detail & take some pics. Waiting to get my Sonax Polymer NetShield to do a full detail and then seal

Re-bagded and had the windows tinted as my younger child was complaining about being hot

Those twist connectors are fine for interior of a house, but for a car you should have used solder and shrink wrap to insulate the connections or even actual actual automotive connectors, given the environment they live in and the vibration they will see. Plus, LED's are real funny acting with voltage drops and current draw. Had a friend with a boat and trailer, that used twist connectors....and he always had electrical problems. I finally showed up one day with the materials and tools, and told him unless we redo it all with solder and shrinkwrap, I was never going out on his boat again. I'm an EE worked on all kinds of big and small radar and comm systems, and I hate twist and crimp connectors....argh....so many problems can be traced to bad connections. Solder joints can fool you too, a cold solder joint is baffling as well. Anyhow, at least use electrical tape to somewhat seal it up from moisture if you use twist connectors. I'm stepping off my **** engineer soapbox now.

Not that it's any comparison to a 997.2 front end conversion, but I washed my car and messed around with a photo in snapseed.

a TON of electrical tape was used to wrap up all cables from the outside afterwords (individually and together) to ensure vibration protection and lock out moisture .… as stated the images are coles notes edition.

but did learn a few things from your post!
