platic lenses? let me know how they work out ive been eyeing them for a while. Sweet thread dude! nice work too! keep it coming-ChrisComment

^Thanks! The lenses should be fine, I may even get a set for my headlights if/when these break (highs are cracked already)
Well, not much to report, still got a bit more fine tuning to do on many fronts, but I did get some HID's. The projectorss are JDM yo! Supposed to be 5k, but they look really, really blue in person. I don't like it at all, but it sure does give you a false sense of security with all the light they put down! Looks almost white in the pictures, but they look like ricer blue bulbs in person :(
I was too lazy to go out of the city to somewhere with no lights, but I will try to do a before/after with regular bulbs and then the hids to see if they're really any good.Comment

Ok, well I did alot of little things getting everything test fit and such today, still more work to do but I'm getting there in the next few weekends hopefully.
Here another crappy picture of my car, I got the rear sorted out. I think this is magic tune dorifto stance?
Dirty wheels, they are in a trash can full of cleaner atm. The paint is actually really good, they should clean up nicely.
My buddy mantis came by to check on my progress, here's what he had to say ----
Wow, how did you get so many rock chips?
I give the bastard chips the finger!
Hey, where is your windshield wiper? What if it rains!!? You hood is also misaligned, fix that.
So this is why water drips in your trunk when you park on a hill, I will install a new gasket next time I stop by.
Yes, I am bored as hell atm :DComment

Whatd you do with the rear camber/alignment b.s? I got the plastic fog lenses too dude! well see how they work, they look great though. whats your suspension setup?
Keep it comin!-ChrisComment

Well, I know people will give me shit for this, but its on tokico springs/struts(blue ones). They were on the car when I got it, and I'd planned to replace them when they fail (have the parts laying around). The stance is pretty good (they settle a good inch atleast) and while the ride isn't as nice as H&R + billys, its pretty darn close as far as comfort goes. There is a bit more body roll on track/autox, but this car being a dd I'm willing to sacrifice a little performance for comort. RTAB's are eccentric, I would not install these again and would use other methods to correct rear camber instead, but they came with the car when I bought to so I gave em' a shot. There are easier ways to do it.
Everything else is just fresh bushings/lines etc.
FWIW, rz + azenis = 36lbs :rofl: At least they look good!Comment

plastic lens
those plastic lens for the fogs are ok. They get the job done. My only complaint is I only did it on one fog cuz well it was broken. But comaring the output on the glass lens compared to the plastic is poor. Glass lens produces more light.
