I used the same exact grille and RL pieces you used. Mine is still at the body shop because I am color matching the chrome bars as well (CBP).

They look great in that vid. Any pics/vid up front? Also the link you provided doesn't have a 3000k option :shrugs:. I'm guessing they ran out of those bulbs.

Did you go with the HD Relay harness? 35w or 50w?

i dont have pics yet of the front when they are on...i went with the relay and im running 35w. yea looks like they might be out of stock of the 3000k. heads up that this kit has to hook up to the battery unlike some of the chinese kits

Thanks Jeroplex! They don't have the 3000Ks in stock anymore so I missed out on their black friday deal. Guess I'll have to wait til these come back in stock!

went to get my tires rotated at discount tire and they said they wont due to my camber "wear" i have a camber kit in the rear but fronts are -1 and -0.9. i know it doesnt look bad to some standards.... now im tempted to get wheels that are 18 and new tires. i know this wont help my tire wear but if i am going to buy new tires why not buy new wheels right? lol
i might just rock stocks for a while.....

camber wear has started but all things considered i think im doing good. toe is in spec. i just thought about going 18 ..no particular reason but looking at it i think our car really fits 19s well but thats just me.
