Actually, even in the new pics, it's still very noticeable.

Man you just have nothing nice to say.

Didn't your mom ever tell you, "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all."

Yeah, that's a great quote and all, but there is such a thing as constructive criticism. But I do agree what he's saying doesn't need to be said the way it was. YES, you can see the gap, but it's not that noticeable and the average person can't even see it.

oss- thanks for the advice, i've never really looked into better bulbs for my car before, but this is a good excuse. I'll look into PIAA bulbs.


here's a pic of my friend taking his turn to hack up my car lol


closeup of "fender gap".. used weatherstripping to cover it up. Good thing for superblack paint!
What kind of weather stripping did you use and where did you find it, I can't find the right bloody stuff.

i got it at autozone for like $5. It was the only thing close to black and it had adhesive sticker like backing to it so it worked out.

Good job. If you still have problems with the corner sticking out, you can actually grind the inner mount holes towards the center of the car to bring in the lights a little...but don't go in too far that it makes it difficult to fit the grill back on. Also did you remove the weather stripping on the bottom? It seem like you didn't in the pic of the cutting....but that could be because of the dirt.

Oh yeah, perfect combo for these lights:
PIAA Xtreme Force H4, PIAA xtreme white 194, and amber corners.

is that beam pic HI or LOW? it looks much crappier than i expected. Way too much stray light. Hell my cousins 93 altima has a better beam pattern. Oh well i bet it lights the road far better than the stockers... and looks pretty nice.
