      Nah, no halos for me. Every aftermarket headlight has them. I'm looking for being different. Here's some pics:





      The light isn't actually blurry. I set it up so that the LEDs would make the edge of the lens "glow", instead of seeing the individual LED lights like everythingthing else out there. Also, in the first pic, you can see where I'm going to put the new shroud/DRL. The big void on the left, just looks like it needs something.
      (I really need to polish those lenses)

                The new ratio is .717, not sure what the original ratio is, though. Turpro said in the sale thread that they drop the rpm by 400-500 and wheresthericego said it's like going from fifth to fifth and a half.

                    Damn, the automatic is 4000 at 70/75 I think. I'll have to pay attention next time I'm street racing.









                    Haha, jk. No street racing here

                      dang, i know 4 cyl cars usually have a higher "highway" rpm, and since i don't have a tach in the pro i've never paid attention, but i know my ram and mustang both are about 2k in the 70-80 mph range

                      i have actually shifted out of 5th going down a highway in the pro thinking i was in 3rd or 4th (not paying attention to shifter location, just going to shift) and realized the second it came outa gear that it was already in 5th (that is with an f-series though)

                        Checked it out today. 70mph is just over 3000rpm and 80mph is at 3,500rpm. This is an automatic 1.5L, of course.

                            No spare $3,000 here. Looking for a house so only required parts will be purchased from here on. No luxuries for a while.

                              Driver's side.


                              Passenger's side.


                              The dust shield on the right got a little bent, but nothing that can't be straightened out.

                              E-brake cables and sway bar bushings are there as well. Also, everything has the ABS sensors and wires, my car doesn't have ABS, so it's useless to me, haha.
