Ahhh, I don't think it's appropriate to post prices here, you might faint knowing some of the prices I get for these JDM pieces (even though the AB Flug is very expensive).

All in good time, fellas. Everything should be on my car by the time your spring time arrives (not that we have any winter over here....) and I will be debuting my car very shortly.

This dude from Club Aristo is the source of my inspiration. Notice the black chrome headlight lenses + the AB Flug cf grill. That look is to die for.



I am still on the fence with the strange-looking cf eyelids....

Guyz...funny you mention the black chrome housings....cuz I was talking to HI98GS this past weekend during our mini-meet....he told me he had his housing replaced due to moisture problem....the dealer replaced them with darker chrome housings....not sure if that's black chrome. We had a 98, 99, and 01 GS' there with original chrome housings....HI98GS' was darker . Matched well with his black chrome trunk bar too.

I guess my point is that....its available in US dealerships....that's where HI98GS got his.

That would be the dark chrome headlight lenses. Looks great on light cars (like mine) but will look super sick on black cars!

Exclamation Will it fit?

I noticed that the odometer rest buttons are located at the opposite end of the cluster trim. This might present a problem when installing the trim. The distance between the outter edge of the cluster gauges to the edge of the trim at opposite ends are asymmetrical, which means that the gauges will have to be shifted over to the right (if it is possible), in order for the trim to fit probably with the reset buttons placed at the left of the cluster. My question is, will this fit for a left driverside setup?
