    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

            Halos dominate. And that just makes me that much more original when I dont' go with factory replacements... Even if not stock, it's still a direct replacement. Bah, that's the easy way out. And for the record, black housings on my car would look hideous, especially the paint job I plan on eventually getting.

              lol perform? My car?? Phuck that, I have a 300 pound system in the trunk, and just got my ninth ticket. I definately don't want ANY performance mods, I'd be too damn dangerous with em. And looks... yea... you are the protege god, i bow down before you.

                Don't they make the darker housing halos too? Just wondering cause I too think they would look better not chrome... Good job though looks like it took some work to get m to fit.

                By the way what type of paint job do you plan on doing?

                                323Foreword, I can see the factory grill installed, and I'm sure I could shave the factory one a bit to make it fit... but uh... it's kinda already part of my 'body kit' and plus, since i've already done this much work, I'm definately not going stock.

                                As for dark housings, yea, they make those. Black ones and carbon fiber ones too. But again, I just didn't really want that design, and the halos at night light up the whole housing and it looks really nice, so I dig it. I'm sorry I still haven't got pictures yet, I haven't really touched my car in about 2 weeks, I've been workin a lot lately. Eventually I'd like to get a really nice pearl or silvery paint job, nothin dark cuz I dont' have AC.

                                No new pictures, I've been lazy. "brackets" were pretty basic hunks of metal bent to fit and screw holes. Bumper won't be done for a few more years....

                                Amazingly, the only time i used duct tape was during the switching over, when I had to tape the old ones in place to drive around at night before the new ones were wired up. Everything is 'professionally' done, the wiring wasn't too hard, but definately done correctly. sodered and tubed up...

                                I have officially been inspired tonight, reading that people actually kinda give a **** about my car... so tomorrow I'm headin off to the body shop to get some advice and start finishing up my bumper. P3AC3
                                To each his own... my own just happens to be ****ty.
