Lame! Sorry to hear that bro. I whore my car out like there's no tomorrow. I let pretty much everyone drive it. I'm worse to my car than any of those other people for sure. It's just sad that you finally let someone drive it, and instantly regret it, while I'm always letting others drive my car, with no regrets.

Just different circumstances.

I was wondering the same thing. I looked up 6000K for the BRZ projectors and every result is FRS. Do people not upgrade the xenons in the BRZ?

Damn. Get a floor jack

My last car's lip was 4" from the ground, I don't get close to curbs of any kind. I see scrapes from the previous owner and think "How??" it's not THAT low

Looks really good! A few questions:

Did they require any extra wiring, or was it plug 'n play as it says it is with their standard H11 bulbs?

You're headlights are stock, right? From the pics it looks like they match the OE headlights' temp pretty closely, is that accurate? Do you know how their LED option would compare in terms of temp and brightness?

edit: heh, looks like I'm the third person in a row wondering about the color temp of your headlight, missed that....

Yes the stock HIDS were swapped out for Philips 6K bulbs and the fog HIDS are also matching 6K. The Depo fogs did come with H11 bulbs, but I did a HID upgrade at the same time. Just remove H11 bulbs and install the HID bulbs. Everything is plug & play and the kit comes with everything needed to replace stock fogs

Excuse me for not knowing, I'm as big a noob it gets when it comes to modding, what tail lights are those? Blacked out Valenti or toms?

Sandisk also has a mini USB Drive I have used for over 2 years now. Same size as that one. I wish the door did not stay open like that. Thinking about modifying to either close with the USB installed...or just take it off.

They make bigger than 8GB too

Seeing as it's payday.. Made the decision to spend some of my check on a car part. I get my car outta the shop tomorrow (finally) and it needs a pick-me-up. Gonna do either the Seibon FA Style CF Hood ($750ish) or the Buddy Club Taillights ($525ish).. Any votes?
