I think black lugs would be better. The white WORK decal is conflicting with the blue.

Have you thought about going with red lugs?



Black lugs would blend in... but still look clean. Just a thought

Brian the lugs are fine, i have muteki tuner titanium lugs and they are a little lighter than the type s stockers, but blend in great. You will play it off perfectly...

i had red color lug nuts last summer looked awesome, but after washing the wheels a few times the color started to fade. Is it because i got no name brand or thats just how it is ?

Holy shizz...I just read through this entire thread. You are a G-O-D.

Dual projectors, Oznium rings, Audi leds? The wiring behind this must be insane.

Although I don't think I'll be pulling through with the dual projectors.... it would take too long and is too much work... lol

Game...

I thought I was ballin with a set of Ray's 19x8.5 NISMO's for winter rollin, and Volks GT-S's for summer. Trumped again.

Headlights... Wowee Zowee.

I guess it is that season. I just finished clearling my rear tails, and snagged a new set CDM headlights on ebay. Looks like I get up on something new and inventive on these headlights again too.

Hey, quick observation. Are you sure those are real ZKW? Mine didn't have such a thick bezel edge... and they have a little crecsent shaped notch on the edge. Do yours? I couldn't see it in the pics you posted.

yeah they're real. I test fitted the lens on a projector and it fits fine. And yes there is a crescent shaped notch.

To come later tonight (after my PE class lol):

Continuous eyebrow (SAAB-ish) with angel eyes, testing..

Doesn't look too bad but I would leave it to the Saabs.

I extended the leds all the way to the corner; they're a big longer now. And again, keep in mind THE LIGHTS ARE NOT BLUE! I HATE the way the camera makes them appear that way. The 2nd pic is the real color.







And here is the eyebrow mod, just playing around here and there. To be honest, I'm not really feeling them, lol. What do you guys think? Btw, these are continuous, I didn't space them out.











meh

To be honest, I think the dual angel eyes and led strip is too much. Pick one or the other but not both. It's too busy and takes away from the overall clean look. I'm personally not a fan of the LED strip unless you can somehow incorporate the OEM audi LED strip. It looks tacky.

The dual low beam projectors are amazing!!!! I've been wanting to retrofit the oem fog light reflector housing with possibly some S2k projectors or something similar for a much brighter/wider/smoother fog light beam output. Has anyone done that yet?

You do know that I'm going to have two separate switches for each the eyes and the leds. I would never turn both on at the same time.

Concur... I didn't like the other headlight setup that strips in it... It just doesn't flow well with the design of the headlight...

I believe Brian stated he was abandoning the dual projector mod as well... Sorry.
Never seen it done, requires quite a bit of custom fab work.

Hehe, I thought about that after I made the post. I guess if you have two switches you'll have the best of both worlds!

I say nay to the eyebrow-LEDs.... It only seems to flow [with the angel eyes] on the 5series BMW.
