very nice, what projectors did you use?

 

what was the total cost to get here from stock?

 

! look awesome man..

lol..shift_dual thats not what your plate says..

 

That is a CLEAN looking retro...do you have any pictures of the rear or the process as you were getting them together?

 

Great job, what kinda lens u using for the highbeam?

 

You can ask maxgtr2000 about which lens he used for high beams, he did the retro for me.

For those asking about the process you should ask maxgtr2000 about it, and also look at this link about how he did it. The back is just gutted up somewhate to fit the projectors, and Aluminum Taping should be used back there, although I am not sure which method maxgtr2000 is doing with current customers, since I was the first buyer I think.

Is it me or the left one looks like they arent spaced the same distance as the right side ones but otherwise nice looking set up good job to whoever did it

 

Very true, I didnt notice that until I saw your post. It may be the angle but it looks like it was taken straight on. I still think it looks great. I cant wait until I can do this!

 

Looks very nice.

 

it's the angle, the passenger side of the car is closer to the camera (slightly) than the driver side. i'd bet that the spacing is really very close.

 

Its an optical illusion or something like that.

 

A few more pics vs those non-oem hid kits:

looks pretty good - are you using a 4300K bulb?

 

It's a Phillips 4100

that pic is crazy

 

Did you bend the sheild? Because it seemed like you did, thus the cutoff is more blue but yet more fuzzy.

 

Shield was premodified to a certain amount. The passenger side is more sharper than the driver side, due to angling, but overall they are decently sharp and focused.

Both cars were 4th gens!

that pic of the 'fuzzy' cutoff is not his setup. i bet he got that from hidplanet.com, just some pics to show why to go OEM w/hid's and not get those crappy aftermarket kits.
