i drove my car tonite. the lights are awesome. aiming them is easy, the only problem i encountered was that since i disconnected the headlight motor, the angle of the light would move if i was going fast enough(80+mph). it didnt move a lot tho, just barely enough to notice. other than that, no problems at all. they look great and definitely worth looking into.

badA$$, but how long did it take you? rate the difficulty on a 1 to 10 scale.

it took me the better part of a day to do. but i was messingn around all day, walking off and doing other things too so i guess it wouldn't take an entire day... difficulty? 4-10 it was easy. i say the hardest part was figuring out how to get the headlights angled more upwards(so i could get the sleepy eye look). spacers solve that problem. cleaning up was a *****

that is sexy, i would add a metal flashing bezel or something to clean it up a bit, 90mms are really easy to convert to hid too

ur gonna get 5zigens? mine are 17x8 +35 with 215/40's kumho's that i hate. they're too thin. they dont sit flush with the lip of the rim at all(f*cken jdm style!). nah, i want to get some 245's or wider if i can(assuming those dont bulge over the lip). btw, if u get the 35 offset you're gonna have to run spacers and longer wheel studs, otherwise wen u turn you're gonna whack the suspension. but those are easy to put in.

does anyone know how i can run fender wells with the wide fenders? i tried re-using the sotck ones but the sag and rest on the tire. and im not to thrilled about leaving the harnesses exposed and all that sh*t thats gonna be flying all over. anyone? im thinking about fiberglassing one.

and for those of you who were wondering why my car is so high(big wheel gap), its because i have the perches raised almost to the top of the coils for max clearance(cuz tthe chargespeed bumper is very VERy low).
