That is very interesting because I got accepted to NYU-med. I'm 60% sure I may go to NYU, but got accepted to UC-Irvine and Stanford. :x

I'm sure when he said "diffuser" he meant the headlight diffuser. You know, like the amber diffuser, USR style clear diffusers, type-s diffusers.

I'm with him, the home made clear diffusers look unique. Something different. I personally prefer the USR clear or the Type-S style diffusers because it's actually more clear and transparent, but props to you saving a huge amount of $$ by making your own diffusers lol. I know the USR style and the Type-S diffusers can cost alot

Bleh I did fine. I owned on my MCAT and my interview. Kaplan does help in preparation.

I may take a year off cause I've been working nonstop for-forever.
I'm trying to be a paramedic for now for some exp. and take some more intensive upper division classes just to assure that I will be 100% ready, but am not gonna endure another 7 class, 17 hour schedule each semester :/.

Harvard declined me, I was so sad lawl but may try again next year.
But anyways, nice car

Black mamba or your car hmmm

I actually had the USR ones first, those are the ones in the Summer 2011 photos with the angel eyes. I think i was like the first one on the group buy a while ago to get them lol.

Thats actually a really good plan. Im on my year off currently after graduating and im doing the exact same thing by taking classes to prepare me. Harvard is amazing and probably the top school but i think it also depends on what program or speciality you are looking to do. In general Harvard has always been known to be the best school to go to if you want to specialize. Regardless though, good luck you man make Acurazine proud lol

haha thanks man! All the headlights seen in the pictures are my OEM ones modded. The Summer pictures have the USR angel eyes and diffusers. I currently have no angel eyes and the custom diffuser.

I bought mine used on the black market. The guy to go to for custom tail lights is the member AckTL05 (Bruce). The tail light I have is a type-s light with the middle portion changed to white. He does awesome work hit him up.

Yeah I finally hopped off the angel eye bandwagon and got them removed. Plus, they had the infamous flickering problem and I simply just did not have time for problems with the car lol

Maz i swear, you are my secretary i love it lol.

HID Illusionz is the MAN! His name is Rich and is based in Brooklyn NYC. Probably hands down the most knowledgable guy I have met when it comes to auto lighting. Spent hours just explaining different lights and projectors all for only my piece of mind. His retrofit work is just hands down the best in the business. I was considering doing quad projectors, but i bought the ATLP quad exhaust instead lol. If anyone wants to contact him, just go to his website: http://www.hidillusionz.com/html/

and check out his work here, I guarantee you guys will be impressed: http://hidillusionz.blogspot.com/

Just tell him Mandeep sent you with the Acura TL fog projectors

Mix of everything.

I really don't want to live in CALI for 4+ years. I don't think I could stand 90% of the people (I've lived there before).

Recently, for some odd reason, I feel like NYU is the school I want to go to though I have never even visited the campus or know anything about it. Basically, I think I wanna just go to a school in the northeast area of the US, because I've been everywhere else.


djmanu, yeah, didn't really want to go to Harvard, but just did it to satisfy my family (they asked over n over). The best thing is that I have options and plenty of time to make them (also got into some med schools in Texas). According to Forbes and other sites, Harvard spends 4x more than any school in there Medical Program. (1+ Billion)

Steve, its a set you can get from ebay, heres the link for the ones I have:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-LE...ht_3273wt_1180

basically you drill and mount them into your side skirts. you can wire them any way you like such as an independent switch or to another trigger. I personally wired them to turn on with the doors. they turn on when i open the doors and fade off when i close them.
