Recent upgrades...

So, I finally have some time to post up some pics of some recent upgrades. Recently returned from thanksgiving travel, and had some snow over the weekend, so no super clean pics. First up are pics of my black housing ebay headlights, i bought them along with Evo-XR projectors and new bulbs from TRS. Then off to RickyBobby, a guy from the forum here,to bake the headlights and install the projectors, since I wasn't quite confident enough to tackle a bake job myself. He did an awesome job with my installation, and communicated (with pics) his progress as he worked. I received the lights with my AE's wires all over the place outside the housing, RickyBobby baked them up inside the housing for a very clean install. I would definitely recommend his work if anybody is not comfortable doing the work themselves. Took me awhile to get them installed, adjusted, and working right, but am very impressed with the results. Very much improved over the stock headlights, clean cutoff, super light output, and I love the blueish tinge they get right at the cutoff. Took these pics at dusk, I'll post more up someday when the lighting is better for pics. Anyway, nuff said, here's some pics... (More spacer pics and info further down)









Also installed 30mm spacers in rear and 20mm in front, much improved stance, but don't care for the added wheel splash. Sacrifice, I guess...

So, opinions, good or bad, post them up, I'd love to hear from you guys! I do a lot of site surfing, love all the info available here...

Get a stealth signal/corner bulb for cleaner look. Wheels look good with spacers.

Thanks... Yes, RickyBobby advised me the same. That's on my to-do list, as well as stealth bulbs for the rear turn signals, smoked side markers, and some coding, including coding off the front orange parking lights...

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
Holy shit Matt they look a-effing-mazing on your estoril bro!!!!!!

So glad to see you are loving them and the angel eyes look so good, I'm definitely gonna have to do a set for myself now very soon hahaha!

1156 stealth bulb will do the trick for the corners, but god damn if those don't look absolutely perfect on your 4.6 I don't know what does!
