5K Osrams, so you got the CBIs, eh?
You'll love them.

Thanks bro
Yeah sure haha and later on get the side markers too right
Done with front, time for the rear end but I like the read tails
I need tint

A-Spec rear is only after winter and definitely not before I find the Red Audi B6 S4 in Boston...he will suck that bumper

Type-S tails would be the only one I would swap but I love staying UA6

I heard JnC's ATLP non resonatod exhaust today... dude I friggin loved it

Wow...awesome work MEKO/JNC...
I love the burnt orange ring!
Matching calipers will really tie them together. Glad you opted to keep the bar chrome...that would have been too much (now that I'm seeing the end result)

Congrats again!

I know dude, it came out perfect
It's the v3 that made it fit

Fog area, lens area, and signal area
All has nice tone of chrome there, not too much
Black fog cover kind of reduced the chrome tone in that area too, so perfect

And of course orange ring!!!

-------

Not many have v3 but I recommend it if you paint the rings
Loved the matte black too

Blacked out V3 (Matte Black)
Leave chrome strip across the diffusers chrome
Light coat of VHT night shades on the diffusers
ZKW-R lenses
Burnt copper hi/low beam bezel
Painted fog light bulb cover



ZKW is just amazing

Where you at right now? 200k yet?

Thanks haha can't stop staring at it from the window at office

I have to find either used cheap A-Spec suspension or used springs
Noooot really fan of the lower height springs will give because of going to skiing too much here but..
+
I have no idea how to remove the spring and put another one
A-Spec is plug and play with shocks and spring, but can't find one
Keep checking BM

Bitch hahahaha
Noooo I drifted 194.34 degrees and parked

I did it on purpose, ask why
Becauuuuuuuuuse
When I usually come, I am always the latest
Both speed6 and camry usually there
No one takes my spot

Camry always leaves before me, and speed6 leaves after me
So for him to get in the camry easier, I parked away from it
Kapish

Ok fuh it, not for him to get inside the car easier, so that bish doesn't hit my door hahaha

well the problem with that spot is, both cars, Mazda and Camry can ding your door....even if there is only a driver in that car and no passengers....

try to swap spots with the Mazda....coz if the driver is traveling alone, no dings for your car

Damn, you are right hahaha
but this way, I love how the entrance is right in front of the car

All I was worried about snow but this lot is usually empty, so will go all the way to the end and park if it snows

anyways, I am out and damn it it's dark outside now

It's similar in color to the famed Philips 85122+.

Dude that was the big reason I didn't want to play with my headlights. Never had fog/water in them before, unlike my moms MDX

That's why I wanted JnC to do them for me. He does a nice job.
This fog is because of the air inside the headligths.
He said it will go away after a while, from the back cover or something.

Fog was way more yesterday, this morning its only the edge, can't even notice it that much.

Hopefully washing the car won't give fog or anything.
Didn't want to wash the car last weekend so it settles first

Will wash this weekend
and get some nice shots, might borrow friends camera

Mine didn't do it until it rained, but even then it was only slightly. It goes away, nothing to worry about.

The headlights also have a silica pack in them, it absorbs humidity in the housing.

Meko, you need to adjust your cut off height/alignment.

The cut off should look like this



__________/'''''''''''''''''''''''_______/''''''''''''''''''''''

LOoks great MEKO...
yeah, the slight condensation comes from the temperature difference in the mornings/when it rains.
Totally normal...just needs to get reacclimated to the temperature around. It'll go away over time.
