yea i might make a mini build thread, but the car is already done.

all i would like to do is get oem euro HID headlamps and coilovers for it. and that would be a wrap.

most likely i will get coilovers when the funds permit but not for a while also i will not shell out 1200 on oem hids.

Heres a quick picture I snapped of my D2S retrofitted projectors in my OEM housing headlamps. The HID temp is 5000k, both high and low beam.

Good so far, and the cutoff is absolutely amazing. I actually just finished installing them last night. Had to rip out my old wiring harness and install a new one for the bi-xenon lights. I took my time and made everything nice and neat under the hood, no loose wires running amuck or any ghetto bullshit like I have seen from some cars on here…

The REAL test will be when it rains to see whether or not they fog up.

Personally my favorite rims for my car. Then the gunmetal 17" SS style, which I just so happen to have as my winter setup. :rofl

Yes, I see that they are big and shiny now, that’s why I said I think the picture made them look messed up.
