That makes sense, thank you. I was looking for some other parts but I can see their point. I'll think about trying again but I need to pay some things off and rebuild the bank accounts first.

Totally off-topic but I am working on a pair of 2011 Sedan Headlights at the moment. Wondering if people are painting the reflector of the turn signal. All the pictures I see from OneEighty's designed lights it looks like they blacked out that inner reflector bowl but I can't tell for sure or if the picture is just dark.
My best guess is no, and the pictures are making it dark - just looking for some confirmation.

Wondering if anyone has any pictures of a 2011+ headlight with the bowl unpainted somewhere against a black housing. I feel like I have searched the whole internet

Thanks for the quick response bud. I am on the fence at the moment. I don't want to be able to see any chrome on the painted headlights - they are going to be black with gloss projector shrouds and tinted reflectors/lenses. The only snag I am on is this turn-signal housing/dish/reflector whatever you want to call it.

beautiful @tonyHTX - just what I was looking for! Nice job - sold me on not painting the reflectors, looks great!
Nice detail on the Projector Shroud - did you leave the the chrome piece under the side marker lights untouched as well?

thought I'd share my thoughts on my Michelin PSS...its in the mid 30's today.....theres a nice sharp left that I take off the interstate here to work every morning and always have a good time pushing it thru every morning....well it being so cold out I fig why not see what the summer tires can do....for it being so cold and me only having about a 5 min drive to work...they still stuck this morning...they only broke lose for a couple secs but quickly regained grip. Needless to say these tires are impressive regardless of weather condition IMO

We got 1/3" of ice/freezing rain on Tuesday and I worked from home. And with no nanny, I didn't get much work done, but I enjoyed a snow day with the family

It's been in the low teens when I leave for work and my PSS have been fine. I've found thst as long as I dont go WOT in 1st they're ok. I haven't done any aggressive cornering though.

Just wondering if I should run two sets of tires like the folks up north do. Summer tires 9 months a year, and all-season (instead of winter) for 3 months.

I've been running summer compound tires year round since 2011, although that winter was with my previous car, AWD Legacy GT.
I think with an AWD car you would be a little better off than a RWD car. But you know your work/personal requirements. Having the flexibility to work from home, or leave in the event of a storm, as well as having a AWD SUV as backup makes it an easy decision for me.
But seriously, when I swapped my all seasons back to summers in my LGT and before that, my Mazda 6s, in March-April, the difference was like night and day. All season tires give up soooooo much dry and wet performance to summer rubber.
While outdated, this is still a pretty good comparison of summer vs all season vs snow tires.
