Default A few new things done to Yellow

I have done a few things in the last week and have more to come.

Soon I will me making a long post for the progress of my car when when I started to now then will keep it up. I will be pinning it to the top of the 850 section when I make the post.
Here is a few picks of what I did.

I painted the parking lights thanks to the help of a friend.(Yellow95)
I think they came out great. They aren't hazy at all.
Also installed a Cai kit.

Also the last pic os of what I am thinking about doing to the headlights as well.

I do to they look really cool.
I am thinking about doing mine like that. I already have the paint to do them.
But with the HID's in there I have to go through alot to get it apart to paint it.
But most likely will still do it.

Baby jeasus weeps for that front bumper. Kittens are being killed.

I like the headlights, but you need clear corners to pull it off right.

EST intake, you like it? I like mine, just for the sound.

I know about the Bumper I think soon the cars going bumperless for a week or so for the repair.
Clears might look better I kind of like the combo of both. Kind of looks more european.

As far as the EST intake I just installed it today at lunch.
The jury is still out on it. I couldn't pass the deal up. It was used and for about half the price of a new one. My CBV was pretty loud before but it is almost as loud as a BOV now.

Hey now,

I understand about a lack of []$$$$ and I feel for you.

My Anvil needs [sm=smiley27.gif]and attention and $$$$ is hard to find when you try to balance what you want with what you need. I feel like I can juuuusst get abit ahead and then, BAM [sm=outcold.gif], out of nowhere something comes to put me behind the 8 ball just when things were going good.

We do what we can to keep what needs to be kept going going, and the rest will have to wait. And like I said in other posts, I'll have to wait until next summer for alot of the things I want.

Three children ay? Cool that you have a nice family. Lennon said "Love is all you need", but extra cash helps.

I hear you most of what I have done to mine was trade off or so cheap I worked doing something else to make a couple of extra $$$ to get it.

I hear you most of the time I get away with 1/24 size cars. And I'm single but with this airline's paycheckwhich they think is a sense of humor I am getting enough to feed myself[8D]. Some aircraft maintenance companies in the good old States wanted to hire me but the immigrations dept would rather keep illegal immigrants than a guy with 2 college degrees + 2 federal licenses. Did I mention that I also graduated from a high-school in Massachusetts?

Tech, nice lens. I'd love to see it with projectors + HID combo. But before you do that you may need the next supply of the legendary Suggested Scenarios.

Plan already in action maybe. Not the projectors but another set of headlights with the HID's.

Depends.
I have seen some on E-bay for $40.00 and see them in other places for up to $170.00 for the entire kit.

$40-170

Wow! The prices have really dropped during the last couple of years.

I remember when they used to sell them here in Argentina for $1500 4-5 years ago.

Yes the prices have seemed to drop quite a bit.
Look around.
http://www.mydepots.com/
Check out the prices from that site. Might be cheaper to have shipped from them rather than the U.S.
