I say leave the CF unpainted, but you need to get the matching CF sideskirts. Then it will look better.

i think because of the lighting the lips turned out really grey, but the cf blends in with the black very well, nevertheless I am getting it painted because someone hit me.

As for the fogs, I am currently in the process of fitting the projectors up further towards the clear piece. We'll see how it goes.

I thought about that...so I took a bunch of pictures already than I will add the notes later...

I'm on VACATION starting tommorrow so this project will be on delay for a week + I have a Muay Thai match coming up at the end of August, so lots of delays. I will most likely have these done mid Sept.

Yea I'm fighting... at 185, 5'6...I think honestly...no I know for sure this will be my biggest struggle because the guy is 5'9 so he has more reach and he weighs a couple of pounds more. I took this fight last minute and ditched another in October(equal weight at 175) lol, It was the peer pressure.

I will definitely be on that DIY though, I love HIDS lol.

FX 35 projectors, the diameter is perfect. I have to dremel out some of that metal to push the projectors forward.

I was heading in that direction at first but, I couldn't justify paying 900usd shipped for just sides. Maybe a X MAS present for myself this yr lol.
