all new stuff
i just installed a set of 5000k h7 hids in my headlights and i'm loving them. they're in a set of retro'd mercedes hella projectors and crossfire shrouds.
also did the meguiars clay bar last night and 2 layers of wax, installed tokico shocks, trd springs, g-games 77w wheels, michelin pilot sports ps2's, vrd fogs, and the fig grilles. i'll take some ill pics of the whole car tomoro when i have some time, but basically i love it. the hid kit was from cliffud at mobile hid-great product, with wiring harness, came out to $140 shipped. i didn't realize that the brackets were underneath the plastic where everything was held, so the hid kit was installed with velcro and zip ties by ryan at after hours autosports. he also did the shocks/springs, did some powdercoating for me and the interior lights as well. if u're on long island, gotta see them for any install. i paid $120 for the shocks and springs installed.

Nice! I don't really like the hella's since the fresnel lense and chrome inside the bowl makes the output light bounce off the bowl with less intensity that you will clearly see a drop in light when compared with true HID projectors. However, H7 take well to HID's.

yep-these are those headlights, from ryan after after hours. here's a few other nite pics of the grilles, headlights with hids, and the vrd fogs:
i sprayed the photoblocker stuff on the license plate, so when a camera flash hits the plate, it basically makes it so u can't see any of the letters or numbers on the plate. great stuff. i'm gonna do a second layer because sometimes a few of the letters comes out depending on the angle. from this pic, obvsiouly u can't see anything on the plate.
here's a pic of the car without the flash on:
without the flash, u can see the numbers and letters on the plate.
this is a pic of my new wheels on the car, it's kind of hard to se how small the gap is because of the lighting/flash, so i'll take better pics during the day. anyways, this is with tokico shocks and trd springs and painted black calipers.
