HID's are nice, but the glare in mine was ridiculous, had to sell. But overall the car looks good ! Love the rims

Yea, not a big fan of just HID's in the Shi**y stock housing.
Projector retro is the way to go if you want an upgrade.

The lip looks corectly installed by the way.

Dave H.-The Stillen lip is actually unpainted at the moment.

Black-max..Both of my fogs were broken and I ordered them from ebay, they sent the correct passenger side fog, but sent me the wrong drivers side.. Trying to get them to send me the right piece ever since..If anybody knows of where I could get one other than ebay for cheap..(cheaper than $115) let me know..

Matty, look closely.. those aren't "sh**y stock housings"..plus I've always wanted to do the angel eyes retrofit just can't find anyone to do it and sell it to me.. let me know if you know anybody on that.. as for that lip.. I just put it on to see how it looks.. not bolted on yet..trying to get info on the best (correct way) to do it.. any pointers would be much appreciated..

Maximus- we're brothers!.. its funny I don't see this color much either besides on maxima beaters with old people driving them all faded and dented..more pics to come.. need the fog light and tints..

THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT FEEDBACK!!!!

Are those aftermarket cefiro headlights? Don't they take H4 bulbs?
I know there are many HID kits with the H4 shield on the bulbs.

Its a work in progress.. and they're not stock.. if they looked stock then I would agree that they need to be changed. I like my blacked out "sh**ty housings" for now..thats really what matters..

They are nicer then OEM, but when we say stock, we are refering to them using a stock reflective housing just as OEM does. Reflective halogen housings with HIDs in them give out a scattered blinding output.
HIDs were not ment to be placed in a reflective housing.

I figured i would let you get him since he is missinformed. So here it goes. www.hidplanet.com/forums read as much as you can and then come back and say something about your not oem oem housings. We have retros not reflectors.

Looks good... I'd keep the lip black though when you paint it. Leave's a nicer contrast.
