autozone has a loan-a-tool deal where you "purchase" a tool from them, use it, and return it, and you get your money back.

Wait they do? I never knew that... how come I never heard of this... but thanks for telling me, is this every Autozone???

New Updated pics of the car with new clear turn signals and hood emblem, I think the hood ornament is a nice little subtle touch that will pop out more when the car gets the springs put in, but a lil bit of extra chrome never hurts, and I think the clear signals make a huge and better differemce than those ugly orange ones...

Car looks good. Call up your closest local Autozone and simply ask them if they rent spring compressor tools, they should be able to tell you in three seconds

I havent been able to do much sinc Ive been busy with work and school, but I did have the chance to add something Ive been waiting for, I really like HIDs so I have them in all my cars. I picked up some 6K's and installed them, they look somewhat blurry at night but anything is better than stock bulbs, plus I do not like the retrofit look, I like the stock headlights or JDM one piece ones but no clear lense with retrofit.... So I dont mind the little bit of blurriness.
P.S. The lights do not look blueish like they do on these pics... its just daytime...

I went the HID route with the stock housings on my 1st gen, but found that I was blinding oncoming cars. Everyone was flashing their high beams at me. I opted to go with the Eagle Eye's with the HID's and that solved the problem for oncoming cars. It also throws the light much better. Not scattered everywhere like in the OEM housings.

I wanted to to keep it as stock as possible, but the 1st gen lights just plain stink. Practicality / function won over in this case.

I managed to get away with hids in my 1 peice jdm lights by pointing em all the way down, you still can't see shieza compared the the ls460 in fact I'd just say some white colored halogen bulbs are your best bet in the long run lol. Much less headache and still nicely colored light. Just an IMO statement.

Thanks Mark, I simply ordered them from eBay...they were about 40 bucks shipped...and yea I hear ya Brandicus but white halogen dont look as good as HIDs. I guess Ill have to wait till get my one piece headlights too and try it, if not then w.e im not the one driving against my lights, its you guys! Hahaha just kidding, I guess if I have a lot of ppl flashing their high beams ill change them I dont mind the lil bit of blurriness. But I havent had one person flash those highbeams and Ive been driving them for a week. Time will tell

Yes, not bad at all yeah I dont really like the look of orange in any lights. Except on the corners on my integra. But not on these or the taillights, the tails will get some vinyl soon to have the oranges removed.
