In my opinion, this is a game changer:
DRL mode, as you can see, Type S Diffuser
Turn Signals
D2S with Turn Signals
Both Projectors on with Turn Signals
Both Projectors on without turn signals
a better shot
Still working on the dang cutoff, but at least I;ve made it so i can adjust them with nuts and bolts hehe

this is stupid brightAlso, I've made it so both of these projectors run quad high beams as well

Literally I naturally stretched the carbon fiber wrap then cut with an x-acto knife, best is to lock the steering wheel so it doesnt move around

The carbon fiber wrap I bought was a while ago, I do remember it was a 5d glossy pattern though!

Oh man I absolutely love all the lighting modifications you did to this car! Sometimes all it takes is lighting to make a car look 10x+ better than stock. Hoping to see more from you soon.

If you ever decide to sell those headlights, let me know. They're awesome! I like how you've made the car your own.

You put in a lot of hard work and did a really awesome job.
Is CHP giving the car community any trouble since the new laws went into effect?

i live near OP, short answer yes and no. They only had one major crack down where they blocked off exits at a local meet and ticketed everyone that left. I think it's business as usual, just the fines are higher.

What about a meet is illegal or prohibited? Loud exhaust or something on the vehicle itself? Or having a gathering is just illegal "just because"?


The usual WTF regarding Cali car laws, I guess.
