Got both of the projectors on the car, the first one i did took me about 9 hrs to do, the scond one took me 1hr and 30mins lol, about 30 mins of the time was waiting for the JB weld to harden, i knew what i was doing on the second one
shrouds were the next PITA to deal with and im not done dealing with them, i decided to try something different, i got some shrouds off of a E55 and cut them and tried to make them work, well they didnt:

and as the car stands now, i bought new wheels sold the Enkeis somebody else was dying to have them, so i let him have them, and i got new wheels, they are some knockoffs i found, and they get the job done for now until i can find something better
the best thing i could think of at the time lol, i put my key on the lip
for knock offs they are not too bad, they weigh about 20lbs each they are 18x8s and i wrapped them in 245/40/18 Yokohama A10F tires, extremely sticky tires, i found some guy trying to get rid of the tires and he sold ALL FOUR of them to me for $80 with 8/32nds on them, practically new.

it did look better before the projectors but omg i can see now, it was a worth while sacrifice, and plus everytime i go to a meet those lights always confuse ppl on what my car is so i like them. Those second set of fogs have pissed me off to no end, i cant get them off, they dont even work.
i love ur car but does this have A/C in it?

ok, im not too knowledgable on i30s, but that light next to the stock fog lights, the one on the corner.... i thing it needs to be darkened up a bit now cuz you have all this black going on in the front and those fogs and the lense next to it make for too much clear. idk, just my opinion.
