's qewl bro. These are merely suggestions, not requirements. I understand your observations and techniques. And thanks for pressing caps for emphasis just in case I didn't understand YOUR tone.

Fair enough. Perhaps you could relocate them somewhere else on the car? Or do they have to stay on the windshield and lower grille?

Eh they don't have to stay there, however i don't really mind them being there. I kind of like the look. with the white graphics it makes the wheels blend in better being white.

Well where to start?! Ok well i got my HID Kit in and installed. Looks waaaaay more blue in pictures because of my camera. but they are awesome and tested them with a few friends driving in front of me and coming at me. They all said that the lights were not blinding and that with how low of a car this is is why they aren't so blinding.

Got a new Double Din Pioneer


Installed my XXR 522, decided to stick with 17's so they are 17x9 with a 42mm offset wrapped in Yokohama Advans.
