First time pics, plus new mods

Well this is the first time posting pictures of my car. I was waiting until I had a few mods worth seeing The car was stock when I purchased it. Mods recently installed: TEIN Coilovers, StealthAuto Black Grill, Polarg yellow Fog lights, Stealth bulbs in clear bumper lights and taillights, Mono Reps, magnecor wires, ngk plugs, and k&n filters. I have an HID kit going in soon. All mods were installed by me

- I love the TEINs. They ride nice, and handle great. I dont know why they get such a bad rap.
- The StealthAuto grill looks great. I was weary about getting it considering the color of my car (desert silver), but now i am happy. The fit is perfect and the finish has a matte appearance, which I like a lot. On top of the fact that StealthAuto is a great place with an awesome group of guys working there. I would reccommend them hands down.
- The wheels are just like every other rep around But I think I might be changing them soon.
- The stealth lights are cool. Once again from StealthAuto. You cant see them in front as well. But in the tails, they make a very nice, subtle difference. They look much cleaner now.
- I love the Polarg yellow fogs. I think they look sporty, but more importantly, they are more visible in the rain.
- I also have magnecor wires, ngk plugs, and K&N filters.
- Resonator delete (only mod I didnt do)
More mods to come!

On to the pics.

I am going to start with an HID kit. I like the look of the bix, but cant justify the cost for looks alone Especially when that money can go towards power mods I just ordered the phenolic spacers today in anticipation of a pulley.

Get the Bi-xenons from Steve (MBenzNL). It's a direct swap and only requires dealer programming (instructions can be found on the web). Don't even bother with the aftermarket HID kit, coz you'll have to deal with the extra resistors to prevent the bulb out message. Also, the aftermarket ones produce a lot of glare that would be road hazard to other motorists.

How much are then from MBenzNL ?? Also, what do they look like? And before the dealer reprogram, do they just not turn on or what?

+1 I was shamed into buying the bi-x by 360 and of all the mods, it's one of the best.
