New Headlights, and Alignment Questions
Hey All,
I wanted to post some pictures of my painted headlights, i have been wanting to do this for quite some time, and finally found a guy on the boards MODDERS ONLY to paint the inside of my headlights. they look fabulous and have had no issues for the last month.
As to my alignment question, i just put a full set of tires, the new Pirelli PZero Silver( a buddy of mine owns a tire shop in Corona Del Mar, and got them for free) since the new tires, i have taken the car twice to the dealer, as the alignment feels all out of whack!
they brought up that my car has aftermarket "crush Bolts" and that is is well within specs. the only place i have taken my car to get aligned other than the dealership was EVOSPORT. does anyone have a good alignment guy in Orange County who can figure out why they put those aftermarket bolts, what those bolts do and why, and get my car to drive correctly again.
the car veers and steers with every bump in the road, it will not track straight at all!

Those look great. I was looking for a set of aftermarket black headlights, but it does not seem that any are a direct replacement. Were they difficult to change without removing the front bumper?

Front Bumper has to come about 60% off, you can leave some of the clips and bolts near the center, and just do the sides, takes about 45 mins per side to get them out, and some tiny ratchets.

What are your thoughts on the Pirelli P Zero Silvers? I put a set on my car about 2 months ago. I love the ride on the Highway but the side walls are entirely too soft for spirited driving. I was curious to know how you felt about them. Your feedback is much appreciated.

i have to agree with you on the feel, but compared to the corsa's they are SOOOOO much more manageable around town(when not on the track), and i like them quite a bit more than the bridgestones. i just wish Michelin would make a damn 285 in their PSS!!!
