Bi-Xenons...Climatronic...Grille...Exhaust

i was working all week on putting these parts in.

Bi-Xenons took 2 days. Still have to Set the xenons to present.
Painted Black Grille with a carlsson badge and a carlsson flat hood emblem.




Can you guess what kinda exhaust that is?




Climatronic worked! i was worried i didnt have the right one. I have the 05 85.

Grill

rlee,
i'm loving the black grill. where did you get it done and how much did it cost? i see you're in boston, i'm out in worcester by way of brockton. did you need to sand the chrome paint prior to painting? Wagner autobody was charging $75 but couldnt guarantee the work because of the chrome.

Have you found tires for your car? I went with the goodyear GSD3s from tirerack. can't wait to see your new rims on the car.

nice car and let me know of any upcoming meets!

i bought it like this from CsportAnt. if you do paint it, you should definitely sand off the chrome and put a few coats of primer.

yea i bought 2 goodyear f1 gs-d3's for the rear and i am bidding on 2 front ones on ebay now.

Good Job bro. Love the grill on your car. Looks sweet!!! Does the Digital Climate control work 100%, heard when swap it with a non digital one, it is not 100% fully functional, like only one side works. Keep up the great work!!

Sweet car my friend. The black grill looks great on a black car.

I just can't figure how someone living in MA can afford a full tank of gas, and then park outside! They already stole your K, leaving you with an ompressor.

dont do it. HID fogs are just plug and play. theres no real wrong way to screw it up. if your doing the lamps, they are just two bolts.
