I'm pretty happy with them, but I haven't mounted them. Only test fit and it looks like I'll have to take my camber bolts out and only use my top hats. Now I need to decide on what tires. Really liking the RE71R and from Costco, the price is unbeatable.

They've grown on me a ton, but I may get them custom powder coated. Thinking either matte white or matte black with a splatter coat on top. I originally hated the look of these, because of the machined silver part, but after seeing them on a few cars, they work really well.

Yeah the machined silver part was a bit of a turn off for me as well. Get some R compound tires What if you got the silver part painted a different color vs the rest of the wheel?

My parents have a good friend who owns a huge (ie; 100,000 sqft) powder coating business, so the potential is almost limitless haha

That looks cool as fuck. What'd that run you and where'd you get it from? I want.


Glad I got my derp moment of the month out of the way early. Decided to modify my OFT tune, and when I finished, went looking for my tablet. Figured it was in the usual drawer. NOOOOOPE. Short of the long, I tore my house apart a few times looking for it, called the gf to see if it some how made it into her bag, and still no dice. Last ditch effort, I tore my car apart, even looked in the engine bay, because who knows. I was super sad, knowing that I'm out around $730CAD now. Decided to just read the manual until I fell asleep. Went to open my fancy folder/manual thingy and lo and behold, somehow it made it into the folder... I'm a fucking idiot.

Installed Perrin CBE and the Perrin rear shift bushing. Hardest part was getting the car off the ground using a $50 wal-mart jack. Absolutely love how deep the growl is from the exhaust

Could not stand having the ability to look inside the car without smearing your face on the glass. Had the windows tinted. 15% all around.

And so while I was in there I went and changed the halogen bulbs over to the xenons and adjusted the aim of the fogs. Also managed to find 2 of the clips from the OEM fog light kit which popped off but am still short 3 and the dealership couldn't find them in the parts system.


Comparison of halogen in projector housing to the xenon in the other.



Both xenons in and beginning aim adjustment.






Now I just need to get my headlight bulbs to match .

looks nice! do you have pics of the cutoff after installing the xenons? I'm interested in seeing how sharp they look with xenon bulbs

You could sort of see it in some of the other photos but it's better in these photos with the garage shut. Taken from the driver view with the good DSLR instead of the cell phone.



The angle of my driveway isn't helping this photo but the HID headlight cut off is right above the walking path across the street.


As you can tell the cut off is very sharp.


Only so many direction a critter can come from without being lit up...I hope they live by the mantra "stay away from the light".

It is the Beatrush aluminum underpanel . Click link for info on the part.

I agree, it looks very sharp considering the fact that it's meant to house a halogen bulb rather than xenon bulbs. I think I'll pull the trigger on aftermarket H11s, however I'm going to try out these H11 20W LED bulbs I've been using in my fogs for my rav. They're plenty bright; not as bright as HIDs but definitely brighter (and whiter) than stock halogens.
