I agree. They still need to trim a section that is kinda in the badge area but overall it is a closer cut.
This is supposed to be the same kit so my main issue is that the original stripes (first pic)
Have a taper from 9.5in at the top down to somewhere around 8in at the bottom. The new stripes are straight all the way down.
I am trying to see if anyone notices or what your preferences are between the two.

I like that the new stripes are uniform.

Installed led projector bulbs into the fogs today. Also installed leds into the high beams (didn't notice much improvement) as well as the turn signals (need resistors). I've read that it's not recommended to put leds in the cornering lights, but I'm determined to find a pair that work as well, if not, better than factory bulbs. First pair I've tried were no good.

I had a horrible day yesterday, my wife and son gave me an early Valentines present!!!! I love it when they buy me parts!! But my smile fades a little when I read the box, l sanitized the box, contents and installed. It’s perfect.

It was hard to notice the taper in photos on a phone.
Overall, I like the stripes after better, especially no yellow around the Ford oval.

Which is strange, because by the description it sounds like a good idea to have the stripes taper some like the hood lines do, but I actually like it better without taper looking at photos.

The body shop misaligned one of my bulbs by less than 1/8in. My cornering lamp is now in the trees. Haha. The diodes will have to be in the exact position of the filament or I fear you will have the same issue.

And damn. Your ST is CLEAN. Nice looking car!

I whipped some leds into my turning lamps. Had to trim the bulbs, work great though.

Check my build thread, in my sig. It took some trimming.

Thanks, guys! I recently got a new front bumper cover thanks to an inattentive driver who backed into me.

The bulbs fit fine so I'm thinking it's the type of bulb I used. I'll check tomorrow if it's the alignment and if it's not, I'm gonna order a pair that is completely covered with diodes.

Took my OEM Snowflakes to the powder coaters Friday. They actually have a powder coat that matches the OEM color on my wheels. 😊

Yes, iirc mine had a uniform full coverage, including the end, of LEDs. VLEDS ftw!!

Got my baby back. Forgot how hard this little beast pulls. Had 2 months of pent up mod fever so spent the rest for the afternoon pulling apart things.
That FMIC though!

Congrats man!

I'm certainly enjoying the new thicker paint on my bumper cover after an old guy scraped mine trying to navigate between gas pumps. No more chips!

Stubby!

Cravenspeed stubby. Doesn't rub on the spoiler lift now. Nice.

Also +5 HP. Lol
Never saw myself as a sticker person but here we are....

Good lord. That (I'm assuming) OEM unit is tiny!
Looks like a needed upgrade.

 

[TurboGT]

@jesse_sanders nah, Cruze. They're absolute DOGS to drive. Pathetic power delivery. So we've been doing supporting mods getting it in line to hopefully do the zzp big turbo.

@Skykri yeah its a wimpy little excuse for an intercooler. Sits behind the condenser too. I'm pretty sure they heatsoak worse than our stock ones.

 

[jesse_sanders]

Didn't know those were turbo, interesting.
