^^^ Thanks, if you don't mind, please post a link again for the covers. I appreciate it.
By the way, since both of your threads are pretty new, I've merged them together to make you a progressive thread with all your new mods.
Cheers!

Car looks great, man...
Honestly...about the turn signal reflectivity...I am going to have to agree with the majority...even though I taped off the reflector part and left it chrome, not having the diffuser AND no chrome around the bulb DOES make it really hard to see the light. I tried brighter bulbs but during the day it's very hard to see...1 suggestion I would make for COOL and for SAFETY is doing the turn signal sidemarker mod.
i know it looks intimidating but it'll only take you an hour to make and install and costs $22 in parts from Radio shack...

Good luck!
PS...caliper covers...the drop/wheels/headlights flow VERY nicely together.

Threw in the switchback lights today to try and get more light in there since I blacked out my headlights, I put a pic with the light off, one showing the white light and the other showing the amber light....

hey Devil....the car looks great overall....
i gotta say the caliper covers flow great with the rest of the car....they are looking so good that am convinced to buy em LOL....
couple pointers for ya:
1> I would go back to 6000K or stock HID's incase your still running 8000K
2> I have the complete headlight housing blacked out, what i did do the indicator housing was that, i painted all of it gloss black OTHER than the top side (which is still chrome)...this helped me get a lot of reflection and my lights are atleast 10x brighter than when I had the complete housing black....
Overall your car is looking off the hook....keep up the good work....

Nice car, nice mods. I have a few questions for you (hope you don't mind). How long did the baking your headlights process take I know it varies for everyone, but I am just curious.
One part I am confused about is when removing the diffusers you can't remove the chrome line. Did you remove the chrome line? Is that why everyone is saying your turn signals will not be visible? Haha I am confused.
Second. Wiring your parking lights to foglights....how was that and how long did it take you? Was installing the load resistors hard?
Okay I am done with my questions. For the next mod put 6k HID for your DRL. It will look nice .

I had someone professionally do my foglights so can't answer any questions on that, can say he's a professional and it took him about two hours to do it. The load resistors were super easy to install, took five minutes tops.
