Default New HID 5000K and a make at home grill!

Pics are soon to come. But figured Id post up for the time beeing my latest list of mods. And tryin to figure out what to do next.

Hoping my hid's come in today so I can put them on. Ordered the 5000k. Cost me 255.99 shipped. I also made my "at home anyone can do grill" Painted white with blue neons in it to accent it at night. Also got the projectors fogs installed and aimed right. "love them" Now just tryin to figure out what to do next. Got a few ideas but not sure.

1)Like the TRD supercharger. But dont have enought for that. Would have to wait and save..
2)The body kit. Undecided about what one. "wide body" or "drifter".
3) Wing
4) Rims.... depeind on wide body or not.
5) hid for projector fogs
6)try projector retro
7)try to do something with the tails
either Borla bolt on cat-back. Or custom duals wit borla muffler
9) intake

That is my list of options that I would like to pick from. Any information of feedback about I should do would be great. I like performance and the visual aspect of building up a car. Leaning towards the outside moer that power..

where'd you get your HID kit from? I guess you're not worried about any potential glare from the non-projector headlights? Cuz imo, the fact that you NEED projector headlights is just to be on the super duper safe side.

Next on my list would be to save up and get a turbo, i mean if you got money for it to be tuned in... It's the best investment imo.

No im not worried bout glare cuz there are plenty of vehicles from the factory with hid's that do not run projector housings.. Just to name a couple of the bat is. Escalade, Old acura's new maxima;s and altimas. Hid are better than stock lighting period. Projector makes a difference too but not worried bout it..

And yea 5% is hard to look out during the day and night depending on what you tryin to look at. Sometimes with the sun behind you its hard to see cars. But at night you just have to look for their lights. Also at night you cant see all the hot women unless you put your windows down and you also cant see very well tryin to back up!

Now to get on the phone wit this company and find out where my hid's are!!! I bought off ebay btw

some change colors when you first turn them on.. I like how they do that. Its like an led when it turn on and off.. there no "fading" off or on like a halogen

But they are bright. Not impressed yet. IDK Im picky. But there white wit a blueish/purplish tint to them. but mostly white.. Like oem almost. maybe a little whiter/brighter

had a kid at wawa in a crx starin already..

Also, has anyone adjusted their headlights yet? Mine seem to be a little lower than I would want them to be. I like mine slightly up so it alluminates the road a little farther ahead..

There just brighter than stock bulbs so you need to adjust them up a little higher so the light can flow down the road as well as on it. Right know it just shines on the road.. not down it.
