    Thanks man, the exhaust was actually a lot of fun to make. I had done some small welding jobs before but nothing this scale. It took a minute to get used to the thin walls of the pipe but then became pretty easy, just tacked it in place and went slow to keep it all straight. I was really pleased with the outcome considering I didn't really know what I was doing.

            Going for a drive here shortly, looking forward to the sweet new ride. Hope it settles just a bit but it looks loads better already.

              Got a chance to install my new SharpHID kit and new low beams into the ellipsoids today. I decided to go with 35w DDM Slim kit with 6000K bulbs for the low beams and 3000K Nokya halogens for the high beams. Definitely a better spread with the new cutoff, feel so much safer on these dark back roads.

                Made some fog light blanks for the IS lip. Think it turned out pretty good.

                    Paint your headlight rings black please.

                      yeah that would help, the one passenger's side high beam ring has a spot of surface rust I need to clean up. I'll do this the same day I do the windshield and window trims. Just got excited when the lamin-x arrived and wanted to give it a shot. I bought a set for my Volvo too cause I keep losing headlights and foglights on the highway.
