I need to get a new driver side, before i worry with that, the tab on the housing broke off. I am thinking of just getting some yellow bulbs, they dont do anything compared to the lights

Looks great man.

As for the signals, its totally up to you. Though they kinda flow with the bumper and wheels.

Here's a thought. AE the lights in white, white grill, and the inside of the wheel spokes white. Hehehehe.

I have seriously thought of doing the wheels completely white, with aluminum lip. I will soon be buying an OEM QT1 grill from a member, I dont know about AEing the lights in white. I dont feel like messing them up(if i did by accident, i would kill myself)

I'll be the third or fourth or fifth? To say that your car looks great! You have your own theme going with the lights and grille, very cool!

Looks good though.

Looks good, car looks much cleaner without the Nismo decals.
As far as the bumper lights go, doesnt look bad with them, BUT if you did change them stay with regular clear ones especially if your going with a white grill.

Nice......I wonder if it would have any effect on light output if the projector sat closer to the lens?

Trust me, you have the skills.

I had absolutely no skills before I did mine and they turned out ok. Not on Gtr_rider's level, but lets just say my shrouds weren't taped on either.

As long as the lens are clear it shouldnt, but having the projector closer to the lens would increase its width output.

wow. just wow. You do realize that the screws on your mounting brackets are clearly visible when looking at the front of your car, right?

It was only "jacked out the side" at Maxus, when I hadn't re-sealed the lenses properly. The ones in the picture are sealed correctly and don't stick out or anything.

I see. Didn't you get the chrome R34s so you could keep some of the chrome reflector? I don't see any now...

OP should have blacked out the housing to go along w/ the grill and bumper lights. would have looked better IMO...

My corner lights have more chrome than yours. I left the whole corner light area (with the 3 ridges) chrome, not just the corner lamp reflector bowl.
