LCI conversion pics

Taped up. I felt like i was going to break those damn tabs trying to separate the 2 pieces, so i just taped it off.

Thanks for sharing - this is very, very inspiring.

Btw, speaking, pardon writing about the LCI conversions:

I got my (second-hand) Zet (MY2009 ie. preface) with "brushed Alu" dashboard trim. Well, it does not look bad, but.... I simply love the "Carbon Alu" LCI trim.... per both ETK and info from authorised garage all dashboard panels should fit nicely, but I am told the centre console differs.... anyone tried to fit LCI centre console into pre-face car of theirs?

That's a subtle change! Thanks for sharing the DIY.

Are you going to go all in and get LCI headlights too?

Looks good. Mine is a 2014 so I didn't have to convert it, but I could not stand the chrome look, so I did a vinyl wrap to it. We could be twins ...lol..

Here's a better question. Did you paint the Pirelli logo on your tires white, if so, with what? And if not, is there a Pirelli that comes with white logos like that? I didn't think there was.

I used a tire paint pen. you can get them on ebay for cheap. Pirelli used to have a series of tire with the logo in red but they stopped making them a few years ago. So this was my only alternative..lol..

Any comments on how it holds up? Does it wear off if the tire gets wet, or if it's cleaned with a brush, etc? I really like the look of it and just curious what the maintenance is.

Thanks very much.

It does wear off when u wash it. Depending on how much water u drive threw will determine how often you have to re apply. I do it about one every couple weeks.
