Thanks. I actually prefer the OEM spoiler, I think it goes better with the overall look I was going for. GLWS though!

I'm not a huge fan of the lip on the Amuse front bumper. I think it sticks out too far, shows that it's plastic, and looks kinda ricey. I like how the Mugen bumper curves in at the bottom. Your car is pimp man. Dont fix what ain't broke. Are you getting a new mod itch?

On the other hand, if you do go through, I got dibs on your Mugen kit.

Alright I'll leave it alone haha. It's just that I didn't really look into the Amuse kit when I was first buying the Mugen one. But now that I look at it, it looks pretty nice. I'm satisfied with my car the way it is right now though. Thanks for the compliments!

Its a nice and aggressive kit and pain in the ass to drive if you drive into dip or drive ways. You will scrap no matter what. The front sticks out a little and depend on how much you lower your car. I crack my Amuse Front lip twice. After the 3rd time, I sold the whole kit.

Hence...case in point....

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I finally got around to clearing my headlights. I did it on 3 hours of sleep and it was a bitch! I had two of my friends help me and it still took us about 8 hours, no breaks. But we were also working on my friend's STi at the same time. I was planning to black out the headlights at first but decided at the last minute not to, and I'm happy with the way it turned out. Here are some photos. I also changed all the bulbs. Just reply if you have any questions!


BEFORE






Our headlights are so nice




Too big for the oven.




My friend was hesitant to black out his headlights, but I convinced him to, and he thanked me afterwards for it.




AFTER

How did you make them clear?

Also, when you replaced the bulbs did you do the LED DRLs like you had mentioned? Take a pic of the new bulbs at night, please.

I didn't actually make the amber piece clear, I just removed it. Here are some quick pics.

I wish the DRLs were more white so they could match the sidemarkers better.





Didn't get the yellow Nokya bulbs in time because they were backordered

What bulbs did you use for the DRLs? Do they get any brighter when used as high beams, or are they the same intensity?

These are the bulbs I got http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED-B...-p9591119.html

Found out you can't really use them for high beams. Not bright enough. Also, I'm getting a DRL error on the dashboard. I might replace it with the stock bulbs or just remove it completely in the future. Were you still interested in the slim ballast HID kit I removed from my fogs?

Yeah, I want yellow fogs and would rather use halogen bulbs instead of HID.

To be honest, I didn't know I was supposed to take that out. Now that you mention it, it does look tacky. And now I'm PISSED cause I have to do it all over again
