WOW.. thats really incredible! So glad to see 5AD stands behind their product! Thats my main concern.. with these pieces being attached with adhesive. I worry about longevity and the occassional car wash. Question though.. why did you take the whole front clip off the car? I thought the kit was only a lip kit all around? Did I not read something?? lol

5AD hasn't started the re-install yet. I tore the car apart to retrofit HID projectors into the headlight housings. I did meet with Matt from 5AD on Friday and they are going to get me taken care of. It was cool talking with someone involved in design of this. He showed me all the visual cues for proper lines/fit. It turns out the dealer didn't put a single piece on that was properly aligned and they didn't use adhesive promoter. Full reinstall with 5AD supervision is hopefully happening this week at another shop courtesy of 5AD. 5AD rocks. Customer service is above and beyond what is normal. I wouldn't worry about their product one bit, just be cautious of the install.

I like the hids and black housing.

I wouldn't have put the audi leds on, but that's personal taste.

I'm on the fence as to whether I want to keep them hooked up. Getting some weird reflections so I may just unplug. The way I put them in you can't see them when they're not lit just incase I didn't like them or got tired of them.

They're under the reflector.

Would love to see the led strip lit at night, I was actually planning to do the same thing one I get my frs, I want slightly bigger leds though, maybe twice the size of those but one for ever two of those so they are not as close together.

Yup. The 5AD guys are going to try and get that taken care of too. I guess it's because I went staggered. The 9.5 wide wheels are the hold up.

omfg man, those headlights look fucking sick. i already did some paper work on friday & i should be getting my black frs mt sometime this week, seeing how urs is turning out makes me so happy to know mine will be black as well. any chance you would make some of the exact headlights for sell? if so, how much?
