you finally did it!! looks bad ass man!!! so much better then the regular clears!
And the rims looks nice as hell on your car. I suggest you dont talk to mike no more and keep his rims! Watch him read this and kill me. But seriously mikes rims look 10 times better on your car. It gives it a better contrast, specially with the black housing. Hey I noticed you took out the lil plastic piece, hows the light output?? I gotta see this, I wanted to do it to as u know, but was too scared to mess up the hid output. It's not pointing all over the place now is it? Nice work on the upgrades!!

Wuss up Black...The output on the HID's is not affected much at all, I'll show you on our next meet (whenever that is...Maybe this weekend ...hint...hint). As of Mike, That's my dogg.......He's happy with the C2's, we are just gonna hold on to them for a few mths.....My girl was supposed to buy these for her 01 Accord, but we'll see what happens...Thanx for the great comments...and for the Black housing inspiration....

To each, its own....I like to switch it up a lil' every few mths, I kinda miss my RH's, but that was the plan---> to change it up a bit...So I got what I was lookin' for.
As of the bike, Not yet, paying off some bills before jumpin' into one, but it's lookin' closer everyday as these gas prices keep climbing... What's next 4 u?

THanx bro, I wasn't expecting positive feedback from you, but u surprised me...
As of the eyelids, I kinda got tired of them, plus they keep me from blinding people with the HID's, he...he. You won't believe the light output without that diffuser in the way. It's great!! Plus it makes the care look alot newer IMO. How about u what's next on the mods list for the ride?

Tight, so that was all a rumor saying the beam pattern goes all over the place? Or did the beam get a bit messed up? Sorry that is what i meant to ask if the beam pattern is the same. As far as for a meet I cant do it this weekend im going to boston, I can do it the weekend after or after that, let me know. Upgrades=time for a meet lol. Yea I was just joking around about the whole thing with mike lol. Yeah I was trying to convincing you to do black housing, and good thing I did because it came out bad ass!!

The car looks way better now with the new wheels. The wings is still very very ...... . I bet you 500 bucks that if you shave off 2-3 inches from the spoiler, it'll blend in more.

Something to think about.....But then it will just look like a thicker version of the OEM lip, which I already had before.
Why do you say it will take you a year for you to see the kit?

After taking off the diffuser, you'll have 3 strong beams that will light up the road that will allow you to see the road 90% as well as before with the diffuser. All the diffuser does (from my point of view) is spread the light output evenly in one huge clean beam. If you ask me, I woudn't put it back on.

Sounds good, I gotta see urs in person, We'll line up my car with urs and see the difference. I would wanna do this, but just to think of the fact of going through the whole taking off the headlight opening and closing it is making me think twice about doing it. You got any close up pics of the headlights?
