Thoughts?

 

Is that the Suntrust tower behind you?

 

Yessir. I work on the 28th floor

 

thoughts... i want your car...i hate you for having such a sexy car...i want youre headlights...sexy car man!

 

Thanks! Yea, those headlights are the pride and joy of my car hah. Ill try and take a picture tomorrow with a better camera and my angel eyes on. In my signature you can see the angel eyes turned on. Broad daylight and theyre visible

 

i agree. headlights are pretty ill. you oughta think about a stillen lip too

 

You dont know how bad I want one. I just cant justify the price right now. Im leaving for college at the U of Denver in late august. So im saving all my paychecks lol

 

did you build those lights?, if you did i can get you some more into those paychecks for a set

 

Yes I built them myself. Cost me a pretty penny and about 20 or so hours of labor. Check my Sig, where it says Retrofit Status, itll lead to my build thread.

As for building them for others, im sorry but I just dont have the time. As much as I loved building them, Im working 9-5 this summer and spend any down time hanging with my gf and friends.

 

i hear ya, thats my problem too, but boy do i love projectors :dilemma:

 

Projectors are sooo nice to have. They make the car look so much nicer

 

Damn, you got a nice azz ride man. Really digging the headlights. It's definitely one of a kind. Never seen another 4th gen like it.

Can't wait to see the other mods you got in store for it.

 

Thanks man! Id love to put headers and finish the exhaust with a y pipe but I dont have money to blow as I am heading off to college. I would like to install the NWP Intake spacers tho. For 200 bucks and a guaranteed 8hp gain? Id take em.

 

Digging the look of the car. Nice job on the retro. My only complaint are the blacked out corners. Doesn't flow well with the headlights; a light smoke would probably look so much better.

 

Looks real good, love the retrofit.

Have a question, why paint the reflector yellow? Just curious

 

Thanks, I was going to AE the corners but theyre 95 corners, not the clearer 97. So I just blacked them out.

Thanks! I painted the reflectors yellow because I wanted the demon eye look without actually putting an LED inside the projector. So I figured I would paint them and see what happened, and, it worked. They look like demon eyes in the day.

 

So fresh and so clean clean.

 

Totally understand where your coming from. Just got out of college myself and have to deal with student loans now LOL

Anyways, the NWP spacers are definitely a nice addition and isn't to bad in terms of cost. But, yeah man everything else on your list can wait. There's always time to finish things later on down the road.

 

Lookin Good!

 

Thanks Chris

Yea, Im sorta lucky. My dad's paying for my tuition, but I have to cover any expenses during the year. So I'm saving the majority of the money I make this summer.

Thanks

 

IDK if its the projectors or the wheels that make the car seem like something is missing. Maybe its the wheels not being black...

 

i'm not feeling this at all either...i dont like the retro or the wheels. but its your car

 

Youre the first person to tell me they dont like the retro lol

 

I'll be the second, but keep in mind I think all retros are ugly as sin.

Non the less it's obvious you take care of your ride, keep it up.

Now if we can do something about those GLE door handles.....

 

Dont bag on my GLE handles
Thanks guys, for all the love and the criticism. I always love to hear peoples opinions on my car.

 

a drop has to be the next mod...it will tie in the look with the wheels better

 

That is dropped. Almost 2 inches. Im running kyb agx struts and progress springs

 

wow really? needs to go lower then, lol. i guess i am so use to looking at my car dropped all the way on my coil overs...

 

Agreed. Just relying on the retros for the only source of contrast of the front end is asking way too much of it. Need more balance. But as others said, the whip is obviously definitely well kept!

 

Yea, i remember your car from our meets. Thing was slammed. I wanted coils, but money didnt allow, and my suspension was gone lol.

Yea, alot of people have said to black out the chrome/remove it. And I wont, i think the chrome adds a nice contrast.

But it looks sick with the angel eyes on. All black with two glowing rings of white/blue lights in the rear view? lol

 

The retros are sick as is. IMHO unsmoking the corners and blinkers....maybe getting clear ones with LEDs in it would do it justice. The LED's Im running in my corners look to be the same color temp as my HID fogs and heads...looks hella sick with everything uniform...

 

looks really good bro keep up the good work

 

Looks Good...

 

I guess I'm the third. Sorry not feeling it but clean ride nonetheless.

 

i needed to do a side by side maxed, just for comparison hope you dont mind

 

Ive actually got LED's in there right now. Theyre blueish white. Super bright at night. I had the corners clear before, but the black headlight housings just didnt mix.

thanks

Thanks

Thanks lol, to each their own i guess.

 

yea yours...always loved yours...the retros just look...BORG'ish. i guess thats why i always voted against doing them on mine. if i had a 4th..id do the r34 conversion or w/e it is yall do..and if i messed w/ headlights in my 5th..i'd do the 5.5..but i just cant see a retro in my 5th gen headlights.

i'm not saying this to bash the OP, just speaking on i guess why i like yours

 

If I had the money lying around I would have done an R34 conversion retro. But I had an extra set of stock head lights lying around so I used those instead. Retros arent cheap haha, I think all in all I spent close to 350 dollars in parts/materials.

 

JEEZ! how much is the R34 then?

 

R34 headlights cost anywhere from 150-250 with shipping from what Ive seen. Retro's are expensive haha. And I didnt even use HID projectors. I used halogen ones.
