Well myself I just installed a circuit breaker for my amp power wire. Also I just installed my new 10k hid set(sold my last one). I just finished up powder coating my intake mineral black 70% gloss(it was all scratched and rashed up). The intake is actually the cold air portion from a 97 2.2 accord. It came loose(on the old car) one day and fell out into the road got scared up. But the powder coat brought her back looking good. Also prob going tomorrow to get rims put on her, trading the stocks straight up cant beat it. Will post pics once they load to email

yea actually they look great but look better on my 08 300 as the housings are more clear. Gonna fix that soon. But yea they look killer and put out a ton of light. Im strictly 10k will not change. I've tried 6,8 and like these best.

check out this video. each video is a small step in the painting/ restore/ prep process.
watch them all and that should help out a lot
watching these makes me want to just re do my bumpers myself so bad

I got a spare set too. That's the only way to go if you want to take your time and make sure you do it right.

Well i got bored and was sick of looking at all the nice black housings on here. Im in the process of doing it right now. Got em split and letting the paint dry. I went with semi gloss black. Thinking of taking the low beam light restriction thing off, but dont know the cons if any(besides blinding ppl with my hid's). Will post up when finished

But the last set looks nice. Too bad they don't come in 18"
Take a look at the Evoke C8s. Those are 18".
