Great news! I did a real test drive today. I drove the car for a few miles while Scott did some base tuning. He got into the heart of the MAP, and accomplished some great tuning. We made some good progress today. I did not make a video, but trust me, one will be made soon.

I will be working a lot on the car this weekend.

I do have some pics to post so you can see that my car was indeed out of the garage.

Here are a few crappy cell phone pics of my headlights installed with my hood, and bumper cover. Please note that I did not permamently install the hood, bumper cover, ot my lights. this is just to get an accurate look at the whole set up before we finalize the lights and glue them together. I like the way they look. They make my car look like it is all business...I like that. I will try to get a few better pics up tomorrow, with more sun light.

That's one mean looking car. I'm not sure if it will look better with or without highbeams. I wonder if it would be worth turning the high beams into forced air ducts to each of the filters?

Any pics with the lights and the LED'S ON? What was your decision on the
high beams? Maybe just grow a pair of blackouts on them? What about
the fogs?

Thanks Shadowen...I gotta agree...It looks damned mean, and I like it!! High beams are going in...ebay projector lens that have been spray painted to match the headlights.

Texas, not until the headlights are finished. Then I will light it all up. The fogs will stay stock. I will smoke the lens covers though.

YeA, I thank you for your compliments. Yes, I agree, clean, mean, agressive, yet not over stated...That is what I set out to accomplish. I am glad I am finally getting there. The Patience is finally paying off. You will love the BW Lip...Very clean lip. Worth the money to ship it from Japan. Thanks to Carson Toyota for that.

You should get a company to produce this kit you designed. I would truly love this car.

Thanks so much...I love the way the Aston Martin's look, and I wanted to add just a subtle touch from them to this project. Wait until the grills get installed. Then you will really have something. They are powder-coated in black. These vents number one were for function, second for looks.
