Like you said, I wanted Ultinon, but too much for me..I bought a pair of K-lite D2S bulbs locally for 90 bucks. My bulbs should be pretty much the same like EBAY bulbs, but I have one year warranty from the this reputable seller locally, so it's easy to claim if anything happens

My friend tried EBAY (12 bucks shipped LOL) and when he received the bulbs, either they had different color ouput OR one of them were about to die

Just wondering, did you refinish your wheels to gunmental? Looks really good in the picture, maybe it's just dirty

sorry Kev... not feeling it. it looks even worse when it's the 3/4th view of the car--it sticks out like an out of place sore thumb.

Looks great Kev, I plan on getting a Rieger lip as well. I havent read through this whole thread but you put the hood star ornament back on? I remember you had the flat badge on before. Maybe the lip would even out better if you had some side skirts, amg/rieger?

Thanks man, yeah it definitely could use the rest of the Rieger kit, but I'm tight on cash at the moment. And yeah, I put the hood star back on to switch things up a bit, but I think I'm going to put the flat badge back on because it might look better with the Rieger lip.

WoW Kevin, I'm really liking the new lip. Updates the whole front end, just wash the car so the lip and front end doesn't look out of place. Maybe paint the rimsgunmetal?

kinda off-topic
But I noticed your decal. what color is it?

I am getting one made and have the same color car. I have 17 percent tint on the sides so its basically black. I know white looks good against the black but I how a white decal would look with the silver car paint.

would a silver decal look better?
