you got a good eye. correct..i need to lower it a tad bit (maybe 1 degree)...actually its not as bad in person. i think the angle of the pic exaggerated the angle of the projector. I am gonna fix the leveling when i install my brand new housings...there are little knicks and scratches that pics dont show but it bothers me in person.

thanks for the kind words

everyone else: thank you all very much for the kind words...much appreciated. but yeah i spent 3 days detailing the car...went crazy...wash car, claybared car twice, waxed twice, cleaned wheels, polished the lips with mothers billet, even used ****ty claybar for the exhaust and then mothers billet polish after, endless calipers also a pain to clean as well...i have some school work and test coming up so i didnt have time to take off the wheels...hopefully next time.

i know...its seems hardcore but as i'll always say...its MORE than worth it in the end

aloha,

cody

The car is gorgeous, plain and simple. Nothing seems out of place, and everything flows perfect. Hopefully someday mine will look like that.

Default Super Bad!

Aloha03GS,your car looks awesome! With the color of our cars, you almost have to wait until low sunlight or at night to take pic's that really capture the beauty of the Millenium Silver! I love the retrofit of the Q45's on the Sport Design HID's! (I wish I would have done it!)The brakes really flow nicely with the HRE's and compliment each other! Your car gives me inspiration with your nice quality mods! Keep up the good work!

Did you already get the new housings? A side-effect that we found was the headlight clearbra film hides A LOT of the tiny nicks and scratches. Ask Henry. I had my headlight lens slightly buffed before the clearbra was put on so I thought that was why. Henry did not and his looked great too.

Clearbra is much cheaper than brand new housings and gives you protection too. Then again, I know some are just finicky about not having any film on the car. Nothing wrong with that.
