Tein SS basic

2-10" subs
Debadged
To come: A-spec kit
Let me know what you think...

So, did that Toyota thing ever get resolved? I was reading the thread, but I'm currious. Are you allowed to talk about it yet?

Nice!!! I am trying to get someone to clear out my headlights here in Vancouver. Where did you get yours done and how much did you have to pay for the mod?? I really want mines done.


Say you guys should come out to our July 22nd meet.

Would be nice to check out your ride in person.

Looks nice. Question.... I'm seeing some amber in the headlights. How did you manage to leave some amber there. I'd like to clear mine but still be legal.

Thanks Xtin. Very interesting. I would think they'd be colored enough just to make them legal? Technically speaking at least? Maybe.

Thanks for the info. I will give them a shout. $200 is not too bad I guess. DId you ever do the Projector color mod too at the same time?? It only takes 2mins to do and you get a nicer blue cut off similiar to the S2000's.

If you do the mod, make sure they do the color projector mod too. It only takes no more than 10mins to do both projector and you will get a nicer blue cut off for your HID's. They shouldn't charge you extra for it as it is one of the easiest mod to do since they are taking your lights out.

Mio,


I haven't done it yet. But I think you will be taking a small piece of black plastic out from the shield and leave the shield in there.

Are you planning in getting yours done too?? If so, are you DIY or bringing it to a shop to get it done??
