sup will, no long no see~!! ^^ how's work treating you~?

cong I am using vestec HID round foglight, they stick out a little bit unlike urs fit perfectly, but I can live with that Your fog light is a true foglight (with these foggy lenses) which woudlnt' be too bright compared to factory HID. Mine are driving foglight, and it is brighter than the headlight O_O, that's why the lance was projector style.

I think ur fits nicer and looks very good, I wanna see how it lights at night

No, by a former girl friend of mine was on the show once. If it was only that easy to get an ALLSTATE Home Owners Claim paid that quickly.

How much did you all pay for your explosion body kit.

I can get the kit for $700 (7 pieces). IS this good or a replica?

How much ground clearance do you have with the front bumper and side skirts?

Thank you in advance?

Ted, read your post and ask yourself if you think if it's fake or not... I think just the side skirts are just under $700.

Ted,

I had another post about the front bumper clearance. It sits pretty low. Right now, I have about a 4 inch clearance, which isn't very much. Just enough to stick my tennis shoe under the front bumper. Hope that helps.
