Looks good, I would get some black or CF center caps on those though, they look really good on those kind of wheels

Those are very nice wheels. Are they staggered? I thought about similar wheels but they weren't staggered.

Been a while since I did anything new to the car...got super busy graduating and finally getting my degree! Anyways, I pulled the trigger on retrofitting some h1 morimoto projectors. Light output is amazing compared to just having the 6000k hid bulbs. Cut off on them are great! I will get pics of that too.

Well I was looking forward to putting on my front lip but turns out the guy sold me a c55 front lip instead! He thought they had the same bumpers so advertised it as a c230 lip. So now I'm stuck trying to sell it and pick up the right one. Anyone know someone looking for a c55 lip?! I have it posted for sale here on the classifieds.

F/S C55 carbon fiber front lip

he retrofitted the H1 morimoto projectors so he had to get hids with h1 connectors. cheaper hid have it where the ballast can switch different bulbs that attach to the harness where other high end hids have ballast with specific bulb connectors.

cheaper ones where you can just buy any hid bulb to attach to the ballast

here are some higher end morimoto ones that are direct for a single bulb type

Yeaa.. I have a set of H4's sitting in my closet. I didn't know if I would be able to use them. I did my research and know I havta get a set of h7's now.. Which kind of sux. So guess I'll sell them. Anyone want a set of h4's 8k? Message me! My main concern is if I was able to order the h7 set and just plug and play into the stock headlights. But thanks. Dnno how much imma rock out a retrofit..

Been a while

Been a while since I've been on and did anything to my car. Thought I'd just show off a quick pic of my wheels plasti-dipped with chrome bezels.
