Can you take more pictures with a different white balance setting? So far, it looks good but if you can add some distance shots also so I can see the overall look with your car. Thanks

Wow. That's different and unique! Looks good! BTW, you need a brighter, much whiter parking light bulb. Maybe put a Polarg in there. That's what I run in mine. Match's close to the HID's somewhat.

Lights look great...now just reinstall your stock grill with it painted white and you'll be set.

agreed. You can also do the side pillar mod (freebee! The black on the pillars is just a sticker)

(pre-drop, so don't knock the wheel-gap bishes!)





...and here's the engine cover shot:
