Nice work, sounds like smoked would flow with the car, try it!

The price on those brackets has really dropped since I bought them a year ago I think, unless they're charging 90 for shipping! looks like they've found a niche though, I don't think that selling the brackets was the intention a year ago when I got them.

These cars should of came with those projectors from the factory. It fills the space perfectly. The brackets really makes it a very easy bolt-in job. Kudos to Luxury Mods. I remember it used to take me about 1-2 hours per side to manually align/aim the projectors axis so both were perfectly parallel. With these brackets, you could literally be done in 5 minutes for the pair!

Yeah, been seeing those for a couple months getting relisted by that guy.. He may sell them one day. If they were $500-$600 I may would have considered buying them..


To those who have them, they look hot as hell tho!
