your car is sick.....
REALLY NICE
the only thing I don't like is your wing spoiler...
if you want your baby looks more elegant and stuff...try to get rid of wing spoiler and have the lip spoiler installed.

here is completely new front, as you can see I cut out the middle piece on front lip, and painted grill NBP( used to be chrome) with mesh, and of course, red emblem is out too. Guys you were right it looked wrong in da front, but in da back I left it just as is, Red.

just buy an aftermarket hid kit for 9005 which is your high beam, will run anywhere from $250-$450, depends on brand.

2003 headlight will fit right on, no modifications, no I don't have any molding around wheel, and drop is 2 inches in the back, and 1.75 inches in the front, this drop is good enough for 19 inch rims ,no bigger than that.

Bi-Xenons mean what they say, 2 Xenons. He has Xenons in the high and low beams so its bi-xenons. Every manafacturer that equips them stock uses projectors though. The high beam is in the projector and there is a shudder that opens for the high beams.

And Widebody and Turbo? Where you getting the money to do this? Thats like 20k worth of work easy (8k for the turbo and 8k for the body work and 4k for a set of custom wheels).

)))))))))))))))), I think you kinda wrong, wide fenders( 3 inches add) cost $150, they has to be specially trimmed to fit, cause there is no bolt on fender for our cars. About body work, I have a special price at my friend's body shop. He will do it for $500, which includes fitting, body work, to make them look as one piece. All I have to bring is paint NBP which cost like $30 for 12oz, which is more than enough to paint the add-on parts(4 pieces).You right about turbo kit, it will run between $7-8k.

About the wheels, but this is the last thing I gonna get. I think that staggered wheel would be the best, 8.5 in front and 9.5 rear. Thats a long term project, so I won't spend a lot at once, little by little.

When I was thinking bi-xenon, I was thinking Audi. I believe (I could be wrong) they use a dual filliment bulb for their bi-xenon. So it's still one bulb, but does high and low. That's what I was thinking when he said that.



On a side note, you're very helpful around here. I think that's awesome, you do a great job. You're very knowledgeable, especially for your age.
