Default Finnaly finnished....

Okay after watiting for over a month to get my halogen headlight to finnish the retro I finnaly got it and finnished in 1.5 days, only prob is the passenger side is a little of balance but I think I can work on it and make it fine. This is day shots since its only getting dark now wait for night time shots later. Oh and how you guys like my silver painted oem grill?

nice lights man but honestly...the grill? your cars silver right? the all silver grill with it? overkill, it looks like the bodylines are mixed together up front which just isnt good. the grill is decent in the chrome, black, or the mesh when people do it, but to make it the same color of the car just looks cheap and weird. sorry man, honest opinion, you asked for it.

nice retrofits....and not a bad turnaround to get them done and installed in a day and a 1/2. The grille is different, but as long as you like the look, that's all that matters. good work so far.....

The retro looks pretty good. Cant go wrong with the LS projectors. Are you using 4300k or 6000k lights? Cant wait to see some wall shots on these beauties

Well pardon my spelling but working a full day and then working on the headlights left me with very little desire to spell everything out. The grill is for the time being, I want to buy an L-tuned grill, I really love those. Josh inside my headlights are clear enough, the lens's are not brand new but then again this is an everyday car. You don't need to use any more glue to seal them up, The original glue can be reused as many times as needed. I'm still trying to aim them properly, its a PITA to reach the horizontal alignment bolt.
