It's an awesome exhaust for sure. Decent gains with a very deep note at low RPMs and an aggressive sound at the higher end.

Ask and you shall receive!

From a What The Fitment meet in Houston:





















And in downtown Dallas, I tried to save a couple of the dark ones, I need real lighting equipment:



















I installed/modded everything alone in about 3 days, I had never been so tired. The biggest pain was ripping the headlights apart and the retrofit install, I don't care to ever do that again. More updates to come after Wek'Fest Texas!

not a fan of the mugen bumper. not a fan of retrofits on our massive headlights. you alright know im not a fan of chrome faced wheels. im not even that keen on the diy spoiler mod.

but for some inexplicable reason.. i really like all of it on your car. nice job vanct.

SSMTEN - Thanks man, criticisms are welcome. My car is definitely not everyone's taste, just my own style.

NPH - I went with the mini D2S in the end because the consensus seems to be that it has a more uniform light beam. It was really fun driving back from Houston in the dark with these on, I could see everything! It's probably my favorite mod so far, it makes the car feel a bit higher end.

excellent. it looks brilliant. i really love the LEDs (or is cathodes?) behind the shroud. it's never been my type of thing but it looks so right on your car.

Thanks for the praise.

NPH - I got CCFL halos, but if I were to do it all over again I would do LED halos because they last longer and are brighter.

What color temp are you using on your hid bulbs? Also, what did you/others use to bind the headlights back together? Finally, any advice you have for someone who is about to start such a project?
