    Updated my stock gauges

    The stock chrome bezels never really appealed to me because I really don't like chrome. Also all my gauge lenses were cracked, I'm guessing from the sun/heat of Arizona? I ordered up some new black bezels and glass lenses from Speedhut. It was waaaaay cheaper than new gauges. I also replaced the body-mount mirror with an aluminum Raydot mirror. I feel like I can see better with it and it's not chrome. I had one on my old FFR and knew I would eventually order one up. I'll touch up the body plugs when I figure out what color silver my car is. I need touch-up paint anyway. Next I brought out the drone for an overhead photo.

    Here are a few pics:
