Thread: New small visual mods to the GXP

Ive been trying to come up with cheap, yet tasteful visual mods that everyone can do. So far, Ive plasti dipped my bumper in a G8 style outline, LED license plate light bulbs, LED interior lights, LED reverse light bulbs, and tinted tails. All of which cost around $60 (Amazon is the place for LED's). Here are a few pics of the mods so far....

Interior LED's




License plate LED's


Plasti-Dip G8 style bumper:


Tinted tails:


LED reverse bulbs:

Interior LED's ftw mate. I'd say ebay chinese sellers are the place for LED's... I think I still have literally tens if not hundreds of spares and I haven't spend much monies lol. Not a huge fan of the bumper dip, seems like it just ends so abruptly and looks like unpainted plastic. Tails look good tho.

Ebay and Amazon are both good for the LED's. The bumper was a spur of the moment thing, plus the angle is a bit off with the slant compaired to the G8. I did the tails tonight at work lol.

i love hte dipped bumper, nice job.

Thanks! Yeah, this was my first time ever dealing with plasti-dip... worked well for what I was trying to accomplish.

I got mine off Amazon and paid around $5 for the two reverse bulbs. They are stupid bright not tinted. I'll tint my reverse light bar on Tuesday and take a pic comparison as to them tinted and not tinted.

These are the ones I went with, work very well. Ive had them in for about 2 weeks now. No issues. With any internet shopping, sometimes you have to take a chance....results may vary.
