Nice, I'd probably leave the outer rings black, but that's me... Where'd you buy these from? Nigel?

Hope you're okay & everything with the insurance goes well. If I may ask the question everyone is thinking, what happened?

I won't take away from the thread too far, but suffice it to say, just because you know HOW to turn traction control completely off, does NOT mean you should. Anyway though, came around a sweeping blind corner, truck stopped in the middle. Oversteer, counter corrected, once almost corrected, snap Oversteer ND a wild ride in circles until I broadsided the other curb flat with both rims.

Basically driver ran quite empty of talent.

What relocator is that? I don't know if they're all the same or not, just need one before my plates come in.

I think Perrin, Grimmspeed, Raceseng, and maybe Cusco make them. All about the same. Isn't a lot of room for variation

Installed the new Morimoto 2Stroke LED bulbs.

Only one night driving session so far, but they're definitely brighter than the stock halogens. No retrofit needed for the projectors (the whole point of these bulbs). Doesn't throw the hot spot quite as far as a proper HID retrofit, but it has a very nice and bright pattern where it counts. There is a little bit of overflow (not sure if this is the right term) on the very extreme edges of the pattern. From directly to the side of the headlights, it doesn't seem to cast any glare in my opinion. Huge improvement in night time visibility.

Photos of the bulbs and their output in the dark will be taken tonight (or tomorrow).

I agree. I did the morimoto D2S bulbs or whatever they are called. Huge improvement. My GTR's and 458's stock headlight output doesn't come close

Been slowly gathering parts over the last few months, finally put everything on. I washed it and took a couple of pictures of it today.

EDIT: Sorry for big ass pics, I don't know how to adjust the picture size

Tried to install my CNT header, but couldn't fit my socket between the over pipe and the bolt. Gonna have to take a trip to AutoZone tomorrow 😢
