Very Nice! Love the whole front end! What does it look like with the lower fogs on?

I want your projector fogs

Headlights look good, +1 on looking better blacked out. Nonetheless great work, you have skills.

The white housing with the inner black is going to make the car appear really aggressive. Especially if the painted shields shine...

You're giving me lots of inspiration. But I'm still waiting on parts.
Hahah well... yeah but if you look you can see his fender liner is shredded up.


And Nate, the headlights look sick!!! Ugh I should get working on my new quads too...

Looks great man! I actually like the white. Although I wish the round part before the main projector didn't have that little indent.

However...let's talk about the condition of your paint..... Lol

Definitely different...I think I like it better head on than from the side.

Looks good all together though! Excellent work!!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I knew a few people wouldn't like the way they're painted, but I figured I'd try something I haven't seen anyone do yet. I love the front of the car, but the side profile isn't that great. Overall I'm very happy with this new set up. Thanks for everyone following this build its much appreciated.
I'll get some output pics for you guys soon. I have to finally wash my car,

maharajamd, what's wrong with my
Paint condition?

A little update on the headlights. Everything is still in great working condition. I'm loving the set-up! I forgot to add some out put pictures to go along with the set-up. I didn't have much time for pics over the summer to update "My Transformation Thread", but I will be getting some next spring when I throw the Type-S rims back on and a new painted NBP painted roof.

Not a big fan of the white/black treatment, but that's just my personal taste, whatever, at least it is original. You deserve HUGE props for the energy and workmanship, awesome job overall!

I knew everyone wouldn't be a fan of the color combo, it's just something different. I was tired of seeing just black painted headlights. I'll be starting a new set here once we get settled into our new house.

Very impresive project, got me motivated to do quads aswell good job Nate. Quick question, where did you get the yellow projectors for your fogs? Can you go bigger then what you have? I was thinking of retrofitting a large projector inside my 08 fogs u think it might work?

The yellow projectors are Lexus es300 I believe, I can't remember as I have had them for 5 years lol. I wouldn't recommend going very big because you don't have much room in the fog and the rear of the projector sticks out quite a bit, I actually have the bulbs from the projector touching my AEM V2 intake filter. I have a set of BMW X5 LED projectors I might be working on fitting into new foglights.

Thanks Steve lol,

To power the additional projectors you can either put them on a switch or do what I did is splice the power supply from the new ballasts into the oem ballast power wire that way the new projectors will be on anytime your oem projectors are on
