Installed LED license plate lites from superbrightleds, same ones geswek has listed in his thread. Holly crap, these are sweet! Why don't these come stock??

Is the only option ordering from DRIVEBRIGHT.COM? Looks like $80 for a pair, any other options? Did you unplug the battery to install them? The DIY video tells you to do that but I think they are just being cautious?
You could always follow this HOW TO article http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,527.0.html I'm sure BiGMaC could help out with any '13-related questions

Just saw that.... the $80 is looking good. They also give you license plate bulbs, so would have saved $16 if I didn't buy my plate LEDs. Doh.
I used Daylight Brightliites for the puddles... 800 lumens!... Cost a bit more, but they refund a like $20/side for your originals. No battery disconnect... Pop out, unplug OEM, plug in new, pop new in place... 3-4 minutes... No problems for 8k miles/6-7 months and great customer service. Plus they give you taillight bulbs free with the puddle purchase. So the cost was made up in saving my time and frustration.PokerMunkee said:

I just carefully removed the clear plastic. Then soldered in my own led. It's been 7 months with zero issues. Used a Samsung led.

Knew I was losing a few PSI in one of my rear tires. Finally found a skinny nail in the middle of the tread, right next to one of the wear bars. Son of a beotch! I haven't had a nail in a tire in 8 years, I guess I was due. The local tire shop charges $15 to patch it, hopefully they don't care the tire is a F1 Supercar. I don't go over 100mph, so not worried about having a patch.

I see a lot of the topics pertain to SHOs and very few older MKS's. I own a 2013 MKS econo barge. It's a world class car that's able to step away. I just can't think of exhaust mods, intake mods and tuners for that kind of car. I've had Lightnings with KennyBell blowers and modified Cobra Mustang's, but the thought of doing that to a 56,000 dollar car freaks me out. What's my point? I don't know, but I think I got to get over it.

Did a 4hr external detail yesterday. Two bucket wash, clay, Adams Sealant and Adams Americana wax....may I LOVE how good a Black Car looks when its clean and freshly waxed.

A '13 MKS EB is worth $30K trade in, tops. So don't be skurred! lol
Just get a tune for now. In the end, I wouldn't do more than a tune+down pipes+exhaust. You get free updates on the tune if you add exhaust mods later on. With just a tune, you will be able to keep up with just about everything in it's class (except modified CTS-Vs and some 335is). A high 12 second/13 flat luxury yacht is impressive! No point of adding a meth water kit and other stuff to get it a low/mid 12 second car, IMO.
The hard decision is who to buy the tune from. Either LMS or Unleashed. Can't go wrong with either.
