Tiger Lily

and already installed my first mod



Oh and the headlight housings are projectors, so the HID upgrade should be simple.

Alright TRUE LOTR nerd. Movie says white, books say silver. I guess the books win, but who really cares?

I can take a better picture after work today. I have a parts company and can get these for a pretty good deal. I love how it looks on the car.

Here are some pics. This is the ALTA one. The Perrin one is identical (Same company). I actually am a dealer for their parts, and had this one from a MINI cooper we did.





I have a 20 mile freeway commute and my computer said I did 38.1mpg doing 70-75 the full distance. I hope it is calibrated correctly!
