Sure thing FrankyJ, will do so this weekend as you "wait" for your kit on back order.
No, no spoiler for me, spoiler doesn't flow with the car in my opinion. If I had a lip kit, I would add the spoiler. Right now I have 5% tints all round and yellow film on the fogs. So we won't be that much alike. Next on my list is a drop, maybe the JICs or Tein.

Modding is more and more expensive as time goes by.

lol i know right.... back order... god damnit im so lucky huh?
I like the spoiler lip, only for the fact it is gonna have me look atleast slightly different than everyone else. Soon ima put 35% tints, definately not yellow film on fogs, and definately not droppin it, too expensive for something that would probably make my car scrape in the city lol

Yes FrankyJ

We do get a tracking # from DHL but DHL never updates their site so there is no point in using the tracking #. It will come in about a week.

I've installed mine already but did not get a chance to snap any picutres. Looks good by the way but engine bay looks crappy. A lot of wires hanging around but will fix that later on. Very simple install.

Just ordered a H11 6000k XenonDepot HID Conversion Kit...

what you guys think? Good Choice?
Im slightly biased but yah good choice!

As per your questions:

1) Unless you order the Xtreme 8000k kit that we sell your 6000k kit will not be as blue at all. The 6000k kit will offer you more of a bright white output with a slight purpulish tinge. I dont have any pics of the IS with the 6000k kit but here are some pics of our 6000k kit installed in a GX470:

I also just posted some really cool pics of our H11 4300k kit installed in an IS:

the install does not mess with the DRL's. the DRL's use your high-beam bulbs.

and people are buying aftermarket HID kit to upgrade the cars that do not have HIDs already since the majority of IS owners don't have the luxury or sport package.

Thanks for the pictures Mike! i've always wanted to see the 6000ks.

Hey Mike did you connect your kit to the battery?? Could you post up some pictures of the wiring in the engine bay? I've heard a lot that it gets pretty messy.

...Still waiting on xenondepot for my set to get shipped out as well.
