Well, I'm new here and basically i just want to see all of your guys mods to the AC....I only just started but right now i have painted headlights with the amber piece removed and an EL strip put on with some 6000K HIDs, also i have interior orange neons put in and tinted windows. Right now im in the process of HID fogs, Clear License Plate Bulbs, and 18" alloy rims. In the future: Stillen lip kit, Spring kit, Short Ram Intake, and maybe Exhaust. Tell me what you think of them

Here are some pics of the Headlights:









And of the Interior:

Just like everyone else has said... Those headlights are pretty nice! Maybe a DIY guide for a custom title? You should get the chromed out turn signal to get rid of all the amber-ness in your headlight!

Seems a little expensive. Are you happy with their work?

They jus opened them up, blacked them out, and added the strip?

it was 450 for the el strip, blackened, the amber piece removal (i think he switch out the bulb underneath the amber piece with a HID bulb as well), and the 6000k HIDs

it took him about 3 full days, getting the car back on the fourth...Hes pretty busy now that its spring, and had a little trouble opening them the first day. Once he got it opened, it took him that second day to mount the el tape onto the headlight, and to paint it black. The third day he left in the shop to let it dry.

Although it looks nice, I think you overpaid but don't listen to me man,...I' paid twice that for my lights

As long you like them that's all it matters! Can you pop your hood open and take close up pics of the headlights where it was seamed back together? I'd like to see hiswork if you don't mind.

Love the headlights.

however, in the 2nd pic it doesn't look like the piece where the amber strip was and the housing above the high/low beams matches all that great (there's a gap) is it noticeable at all looking at the car in general ???

+1 on the chrome turn signal bulb

any plans for the taillights ???

WELCOME!

Everyone has crazy-retarded mods here, HOTHOT.

Your headlights are PHUCKIN SICK!! howmuch & where did you get it done? As for the exhaust the Artisan Performance exhaust is a great choice if u love loud exhausts . The stillen exhaust as about the quietest one out.

DAAN.

Haha i kind of think i did overpay but im not complaining about it...It still makes me happy btw dangeris, u paid double because you got dual projectors with the led strip though, right?

Here are the pics of the re-sealed silicon:

It isnt that noticable, it kinda just looks like a curve in the design of the headlight
