They removed some of the clumsy features up front, but a substantial
change in the back is what is needed in my opinion. Especially the
rear bumper area which is one of the most blah features of the current
stock GS.

 

I want the mirrors. Looks good. should've done that when they released the '07. And either they upped the contrast or they finally make the HID lights LOOK like HID lights this time. I dunno about that glowing "L" that looks rice.

 

Still doesn't have nav for Hawaii though.

 

Yeah yeah yeah, don't you have to fix someones teeth? lol. supposedly its supposed to have nav. Dunno if I'll swap cars tho. Would need to have more reasons than just the turn signals and nav. Although that would be compelling.

 

So do we think they bumped up the headlights to 5000k or more? or is that just a photoshop adjustment ... or just for marketing just like ride height always looks lower in the brochures

it's just marketing pics....

 

I would demand for my car to have those lights. If they can give us tires with loud road noise and we can force them to replace them with quiter sounding tires, I think we should force them to give us HID light that look like HID lights. lol

 

Higher the Kelvin temperature, the light output actually diminishes, it is a known fact that 4300k (roughly stock K temp) is the brightest. people who chooses 5000-8000k simply do it for the color.

 

correct, and 4100-4300 are the only legal limit anyway

 

well you can still get the light color by the refelctors. acura and bmw proves that its possible. They should do that.

 

BMW uses projectors plus my stock xenon/HID appear yellow after warm up, that's why I went with Phillips 6000k Ultinon for both low beam and fogs.

 

Yes, I meant projectors. Just like ours. So it is possible to get that color.

 

you mean the flaking. yup definitely possible. just need clear lens and also a tweak in the metal plate inside. i don't know why they don't do it though

 

flaking..not sure of that term. You mean the event horizon where the light turns to a blue or purple? Yes. They should. At this point in time, people jsut consider that type of light as HID lights. I actually had a person come up to me and ask me why I didn't get the Xenon lights. Doh! Had to show him I did by turning it off and on. HID has more of a snap on/off to them than conventiona(sp) bulbs.

 

The only change i like is the front bumper.
