What did you do to your TRX today?

Looks great, and is exactly what the TRX’s beautiful interior lacks from the factory.

How is it on really dark back roads though? Too bright? Etc. I find myself turning off my screen when driving on back roads at night just to reduce interior light.
You can control everything through the App, You can lower the intensity of the lights or turn them off. Integration with the factory dimmer would be nice but that’s outside of my expertise.
 
We finally had some weather here that allowed me to work on paint correction. She’s seen some things, for sure. There are some door dings I need to have fixed (always have a paintless dent guy!).

I didn’t hog on the paint too much. Just Meguiars 205. But it looks better. A little Griots ceramic sealer wax on top for now until I can properly cut the finish down and ceramic coat it… maybe late summer.

I’m thinking that we should change the name of Retirement Red to Retirement Black since keeping black looking good requires full time attention.

It's certainly more work than keeping Boomer Blue clean. 😁

There is nothing better looking than a new, clean, black vehicle. I just don’t have the patience for black. Maybe that’s why I’m in Simple Man Silver!
 
I just cannot do a black or dark vehicle again being in the deep south. There is a noticeable difference in how hot it gets and how long it takes to cool down vs. a white, silver, or lighter vehicle.

I’ve been hacking away at the Oracle Light RGB conversion kit for the last few days but I finally finished. I’m loving it so far.

One thing to note if you have a ‘23, check if you have pocket lights installed in the back seats, and dash lights on either side of the steering wheel. If not you’ll need to get those housings separately to get the full use of this kit.

I can certainly understand that after living 8 years in Central Florida! But, I just chose to bake to death. haha 🔥🥵

My 600RR was white tho. Because, ouch.

The LED intensity can be controlled in the App! This video has a great example at the end of the lights in use, and the different functions you can control: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07sWAdhwxc0

No kidding. I wouldn't want a dark paint color here where it normally doesn't exceed 80 degrees (with low humidity).

Yes, it would make the snow melt off of it quicker, but then you're still stuck with a dark/black vehicle when the snow is gone.
 
Did some fun little things;
-Added some more carbon fiber touches to what I have already
-black lugnuts finally!
-doordaddies

Can’t wait for warm temps this weekend to give much needed bath and install some other things.
what company are those carbon fiber pieces around the door switches??

Although looks like they updated their website over the last couple months and I don’t see carbon fiber anymore. @BigRay
 
Sold it. Ordered an RHO on a whim in January and it’s scheduled to be at Mark Dodge in a week or two. I know, shameful.

Black Betty never gave me a single problem. Of course as soon as I drove away from the bank the buyer text me that the CEL was on. I told him where to check and it was showing cylinder 2 misfire?! I went back and we drove it and it was driving perfectly fine, not backfiring or stuttering at all. Spark plugs maybe? My buddies threw the same code but cylinder 6 and it needed spark plugs. I told the dude I’ll put in a fresh set if it comes back after we cleared it.

The only thing I could think of is we reset the IGLA PIN code right before I left. I doubt it was related but who knows.

A photo for posterity!
