Looks cheap/ricer, IMO, to have anything higher than 4300k-5000k.

Took out the clutch pedal spring and re-adjusted the pedal to be just above the brake. Used to have it level, but without the spring that was kind of annoying. Definitely a nicer clutch feel but I wish I could get rid of the "on/off switch" feeling. Starting to wonder if it's the drive-by-wire causing it now.

Picked up an NA Miata recently because it's too hard for me to justify molesting a new car much. Pretty sure the clutch is close to worn out so it's going to be replaced soon, but I really like how easy it is to shift smoothly. Aggressively or just putting around, it's very easy. Wish I could get the BRZ's gas/clutch to behave/feel more like that.

Looks good, judging on your DRLs, probably much bluer in person?

One thing I noticed on my 6000k, is the boomerang doesn't blend in anymore, which I think is cooler

Yeah DLRs are slightly more blue in person. When I was running 6K hids, they blended almost perfectly with the boomerangs. I really like how my 8ks look now with the boomerangs, they kinda look like mean eyebrows in person

WRB owners, is that just cleaned up or are those waxed? I know crystal white pearl won't pop reflections like that but I'm looking for ideas on making white a bit more vibrant.
