Yea Yea Yea, I bought it (the white tII) Can't wait until the rebuild is fully broken in... it's already a blast to drive. It has Kentucky plates on it now and is being tuned by Steve Kan on Feb. 4th, 2006! Woohoooooooo!

Still running Erik.

No, I went with some tried and true 8.5's on the white TII's rebuild.

Although my latest TII does have the N/A rotors, I prefer the 8.5's after my last experience with the 9.4's.

you can led's light my red one in the middle in any colors. so your whole tail would be clear until you used any of the lights.

also about the blue reverse bulbs.. im not a ricer.. it the fact that the clear ones would blind you lol..

I removed the clear shield from mine a week ago but didn't have the chance to mount them yet, but judging by the photo they look great! What a bitch to remove the lense. I used a blow dryer but the oven trick looked easier!

I think it looks good when you put LED lights in it, other wise I like the stock ones better.

I just like the look of the lights period... I think the s5 tails are sexy. Don't get me wrong I would hump an s4 anyday... Just own the s5 and am very happy with all that jazz. Altho I do plan on making myself some custom LED tails ... Thos and a rebuild LSD are my winter projects.
