Some more pics in my wheel thread.

ordered some Philips Diamond Vision 9005's for my DRL/High beams and going with the Morimoto HID Elite kit from theretrofitsource.com for my low beams.

Are you lowered on Tein springs?

Luke.Cariveau · 09-23-2012, 01:13 PM

Looks great! Like the subtle change in the hood vents.

JoeBoxer · 09-24-2012, 06:31 PM

Morimoto HID's and clear corner lamps on the way, still waiting on camber bolts and reflash from group buy too.

ihaskrayon · 09-24-2012, 06:48 PM

Those look great in silver. The clear side markers will really clean up the front

JoeBoxer · 09-29-2012, 02:08 AM

Put some silverstar 7440's in the tailights and picked up some VHT NiteShades Red to paint the tails. I had put some led bulbs in the back up lights and while they looked good weren't bright at all so i put some silverstar 921's in there too.

I have a tech i used to work with that has done HID's and suspension work on my previous vehicles coming up tomorrow to install my springs and HID's. I ordered some led's for my clear corners too but they won't be here for a couple days. A local performance shop had them but tried to charge me $8 a bulb so i had to get them online for $2.59 a piece. I think i may put another pair of the 7440's in the front turn signals also.

thats funny as a brz owner I out on frs vents

JoeBoxer · 09-30-2012, 11:22 PM

Springs are on, i took out the cheap led's i put in the backup lamps because i couldn't see shit with them. I put silverstar 7440's in the rear turn signals and 921's in the backup lamps and got a lot more light. TheRetroFitSource 5000k HID Elite kit installed, clear corners coming soon just waiting on the led bulbs for them and i will put some silverstars in the front turn signals too. I got 9005 Philips Diamond Vision bulbs for the DRL/high beam and some stereo stuff coming too.

JoeBoxer · 10-01-2012, 03:16 AM

The 7440 silverstars in the rear turn signals blink white and the fronts will be white too i won't have any amber in the turn signals or marker lamps hopefully won't get any trouble with the 5-0

JoeBoxer · 10-01-2012, 02:33 PM

MSBassPro SQ subwoofer is here and some weird looking package from Westport CT, anybody heard of this @Visconti guy?

JoeBoxer · 10-07-2012, 02:10 AM

Pics of the HID's from theretrofitsource.com, clear corners from Carson Toyota also. I had 5 led bulbs in the corners here but changed to the 4 led the others were actually a little brighter than i wanted. No amber bulbs anywhere and legal here in arkansas.

Next mods are going to be a strut tower bar, possibly SRT since i can still mount the Crawford AOS with it. Crawford Gymkhana exhaust is on the list of possible items on the way too.

JoeBoxer · 10-08-2012, 11:00 PM

Got my subwoofer hooked up today, I'm glad i have some sound deadener on the way because this thing is amazing for what it is and especially for what i paid for it. I also updated the first post with an up to date parts list and some vendor info where i got my products.

ihaskrayon · 10-10-2012, 04:38 AM

Those side markers are so bright!
