Sweet, good work! I think you should skip the top wing, the wing and the fin together would get too cluttered IMO.

I would avoid the 6000k and go with 5000k max. Too blue for driving, and it looks cheap and ricey.

Rice is the name of the game. lol
On a serious note, do you get any shaking while driving on the hwy with the spacers? l

I like the 6000k just fine they look great. Not ricey at all in my opinion. But I do want to try the 5000k.

About the spacers. No it drives fine real smooth. I got up to 110mph on the highway to see if it vibrated but it was fine drives great. No complains so far so good.

You're definitely entitled to your opinion. I used to think it was a great color, too. I had them in my fogs.



However, my wife drove behind me in the RL once, and I didn't like the look. The visible light was horrible too. When I drive around, the fastest way for me to tell that someone tried to mod their car but went with the cheapest, lowest performance route, is when they have blue/pink/purple lights. My understanding of the definition of ricey is changing a car's features with a mod that actually hurts performance instead of increasing performance. But, in the end, that is just my opinion. If you really like 6000k and like the look it gives, then go for it.

What spacers did you use? Bolt on or did you put extended lugs in?
