They are hellas and I pull my power from the original fog wiring. As such, they only work when I activate the fog switch.

Awesome job. Wish I had that much time! How did you like the R1 rotors? I need some brakes here soon and saw the slotted E-line are pretty darn reasonable from R1. I live in NE Ohio though and lots of snow/salt....does the zinc coating actually prevent rust? Thanks!

Thanks. My R1 high hats and edges did rust. I had to remove them, clean them up and then paint them with G1. After the G1, no rust. For the price, REALLY hard to beat. No pulsing, no cracking and I swear I brake to the limit sometimes. My pads still squeak now and then , but its the price you pay for dustless. I will be adding stainless steel lines soon to so i will make sure I post those results.

Great thread. You have reassured me to go 275/45r20 instead of 265/40r20.

Take a look at this post. I just bought a set and think they are amazing. Clean up the look of the car, and work very well. Mine are at the end of the post with pictures.

The LED tail light looks CHEAP. I looked into them few years back. OEM one is 100% nicer. I'll stick with the OEM till I see other good options.

I am sure these are the same lights you looked into a few years ago ... but they definitely do not look cheap at all. Looks like you have a 2008 with the LED lights ... I have a 2005 without them. My friend has a 2008 and we did a side by side comparison ... these LEDs look just as good.

Those LED tail light is either made in Taiwan or made in China. I wanted to get a black smoked one, all my friend says it will just look like those aftermarket LED tail light on Jap cars. I end up using the factory one as they are already LED'ed. Well, the aftermarket LED tail light can surely stand out, I believe they are brighter at night. If your friend has done a side by side comparison already, you may give a go ^^

I've seen few cayenne with Hamann tail light. Those light looks okay, but not my taste. I've also seen Hamann style light on chinese eBay. They looks no difference with the genuine one. but surely you can save quite a bit to buy other mods.
