Thats what happened with me. A guy rear ended me and paid me what it would cost to sand/paint the original bumper(around $460) so I used that plus like $180 out of my pocket to buy the aero rear. So I basically just paid for shipping. Now I have a ridiculously large box thats been sitting in my 600sqft apartment for the past few months with my old bumper in it.

It really does. It just sits there looming over my dining room table. I'm almost thinking about just throwing away the bumper since it'll probably never sell, which would be a shame.

I haven't yet, no. I probably should though. I just don't like the feel of craigslist is the thing. To me thats where all the creepy people and scammers hang out. Unless you want a free couch. In college my roommates and I got like 3 free couches for our house. We had a total of 8 couches(2 were futons) in our living room.

I bet you would, but only regular oem is for sale. My car loves having aero pants.

HAI GAIZ

Gravedigging for my own thread lol

Mini Update

Road Trip to PA at the begining of July


My 3000k fogs from HIDExtra died on me, replaced them with VVME 3000K, better quality it seems like but isn't as yellow. Looks almost 3500k, I was thinking of going Nokyas but 55w + LaminX = cracked lenses for shizzles


Installed some GARAX 6000K for lows. I'm sure some of you remember my flickering headlight issue with the HIDExtra units. Was going to go with Philips Ultinon but the cost drove me away. Heard alot of good things about GARAX 6000K on the Infiniti/Lexus forums so I'll give them a try.


Hmmmmmmmmm


You know I had to do it




WHY SO SERIOUS


I also have another box sitting at the Post Office atm...take your sweet time please unknown package NBD.

Thaaaaaaaat's it Thaaaaaaaaaaaanks for Loooookin

I wanted them to stand out....trust me when I say I wanted to paint them Tiffany Blue LOL...if I left em black I might as well just stayed with the stock horns.

Yes I want that piss yellow look (never thought I'd say that phrase) also but, and I think it was you who said that since they are hotter at 55w they will be too hot for the fogs and either the fogs or the bulbs themselves would crack. The LaminX proly adds another level to the heat retention. That's no bueno in my books lol.

Thanks man

I was talking to my mechanic when these were getting installed and he suggested other positions for the horns. Aside from this centralized position, he said that having both horns on the lower left side (when looking at it) half seen and half hidden by the grille. Offset is kinda cool never really seen that even from the Subaru guys but I'm not sure yet.

So should I keep them centralized or have them offset and half hidden?
